Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Embakasi

The location and the surroundings were great, especially traveling with a 3year old it felt safe, the guard at the gates were very thorough. The house caretakers were helpful and always there if we needed help with something. The garden was beautiful and well kept. At night the house worker came to put the electric fence on. So we were very well taken care of and Elizabeth our host was ready all the time to help, even if we had to change our arrival time. I will be coming back next year, thank you Elizabeth.

Marine was friendly, responsive and helpful. We arrived in the middle of the night but still had no problem with her instructions or getting into the house. The house was spacious, clean and comfortable and the garden was stunningly beautiful. I would highly recommend staying there for families and groups who want to be that side of town.

We traveled to Nairobi for 2 weeks to be close to our son's family, who live nearby. Specioza's place was as described, very secluded and private, with beautiful grounds, and all the amenities you would need for a short or long stay. Specioza and Peter (the groundskeeper) were very responsive, and flexible with our booking. However, guests should be aware that you absolutely need to have your own vehicle to access this property, and in rainy weather, you would need AWD. We typically get around via Uber, and often order grocery and restaurant deliveries, but none of these options were available to us, due to the long dirt road leading to the remote property. Fortunately, we were able to borrow an AWD vehicle from our son, which made our stay workable and pleasant. We would highly recommend this property if you like a very quiet and secluded setting, and have your own vehicle. We would definitely consider this property again for future visits.

Extremely clean and cozy place, surrounded by nice places to eat out and shopping malls. The place is a haven, with extra spaces for chilling or working. She has put thought on the decor and the garden is well taken care of, making it a memorable place. Jacque is extremely kind and very communicative. I will definitely come back!

Thank you Ted for allowing us into your very beautiful and serene space. It was very refreshing after a long travel to finally settle down and relax for a few days. The natural environment brought in a calming nature and sounds of birds singing was good music each morning. There is plenty of room for quiet moments and online work when we needed it. Well equipped kitchen. Beautiful and friendly dogs. Sam your caretaker is great! Very very helpful. We hope to stay with you next time we are in that side of Nairobi.

The place was just like depicted in the pictures. It is comfortable and our family of 10 enjoyed our stay. We had few issues though, but the host fixed them right away. She even provided us with a chef when we requested one, and we ended up keeping him the whole duration of our stay. The food was yummy, prepared in a kitchen well equipped. We enjoyed even the outside cooking and roasting of meat and vegetables on the grill. There were two monkeys that often appeared in the backyard while we sat in the gazebo that turned out to be our favorite place. The location is convenient to reach from the airport. Thank you, we had a great stay.

Mitchell was a great host who provided clear instructions. Mitchell was very responsive and the apartment was just as described. Centrally located, clean, safe, 24 hour security on site, an easy access to other amenities. I will be back.

My stay was amazing, the place was quite cozy just perfect. the host was easy and very accommodating. Definitely worth it! I highly recommend for someone looking to chill.

This was a very clean and nice apartment. But in the previous comment it said that every room had its own bathroom. I can strongly recommend this apartment and Vallery was a very good host. Thank you

Brian is a great host. Will definitely be coming back with my guests from the US.

We loved our stay! It was a family trip, 2 adults, 2 kids. The house is beautiful and the staff are even better. We were well taken care of from delicious breakfasts to coordination of local activities. They coordinated most of our rides, but Uber is easy use. Uber Eats so also an option if you don’t want to go out. The UN and Village Market are close with restaurants, local shopping, and fun activities. At the house, the kids played in the pool almost everyday with a beautiful banana tree providing the ambience, truly peaceful and idyllic! We’d go back in a heartbeat! Thank you! We miss you already!

Bonsai Villa felt like home the moment I stepped in! Duncan is a fantastic host and all the staff are heartily welcoming, very warm, friendly and ready to help you with anything at all times: show you around their beautiful gardens, send you updates about interesting events, show you safest and cheapest ways to get around, recipes of Kenyan dishes ... The villa is located in one of the most beautiful and safest neighborhoods, surrounded by beautiful and gigantic vegetation, right next to Karura Forest. The terraces & gardens are full of beautiful tress, flowers, shrubs, & herbs carefully tended to by the staff, making the ambience very peaceful and pleasant. You feel like you're in the middle of the forest at all times of the day. If you are a foodie or traveling alone, you will absolutely love the huge common kitchen on the ground flower where you can socialize with the other guests, staff and cook. I call this house a home; I will always stay at Bonsai Villa when in Nairobi!

Beautiful Villa. The host was always proactive and responsive. Fiona and Espen agreed for late check out as myself and another group members flight time was just before midnight. We really appreciated this gesture. Rose ( the housekeeper ) was always there to keep the house clean and take care of laundry. I would definitely recommend other tourists to book Fiona and Espen’s place. A definite encore!

Wonderful place in the hearth of Nairobi, which feels like you are in the middle of the forest.
