Overall a great property. Safe, clean, and a convenient mini-mart on the grounds. The gym could use some more equipment and the pool is not heated so be prepared for a polar plunge! First time in Nairobi and it was a competitively priced place to stay that was a nice apartment.

If you need a home away from home, this is a perfect pick. The home was spacious and the many amenities available made my stay even more enjoyable. Also worth noting that there is a shopping mart on the premises that was extremely convenient. The host was easy to contact and helpful. Definitely worth staying if you find yourself in Nairobi.

Amazing Alba Garden

Beryl, you’re an amazing host, and very accommodating. She always checked up to make sure I was comfortable. The place was pristine, and the location is in the heart of Kilimani where you have access to so many places. I will definitely recommend and book again for future stays. Thanks again Ms. Beryl for hosting me!
