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.

AMAZING! We honestly don't understand that this house does not only have 5-star ratings! It is such a beautiful farm with a very high ceiling, and one small pool next to the house and a bigger one at the end of the garden. The photos do not do the place justice, it's even nicer in real life. And it feels so much like you're in nature even though it's only a short drive from Nairobi. When driving towards the house one can see zebras and giraffes. Would definitely recommend!! It's a bit expensive but we went with a group so that we could divide the money. All in all: 11 out of 10 for this house.

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.

My family and I enjoyed our stay here. Host was very helpful, kind and responsive. Would definitely stay again.

Nice quiet place with beautiful surroundings and the private garden makes you to relax. the area is very safe, lot of rerestrestaurants are around, Mikhail responded quickly also the staffs are very friendly. For sure we will book again. I recommend other travellers too.

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.

I loved staying at your home! You’re a great host, so helpful, so glad I stayed with you! I can stay there for forever! I loved everything about your place! Thank you for hosting me!

Yvonne's apartment is in a very safe part of the city. The complex is surrounded by beautiful views, and the apartment itself was well stocked, and cleaned for us.

Mary's place is wonderful and absolutely worth visiting. While here, we had dinner prepared by Mary's mother one night at a very reasonable price. At dinner my wife mentioned our desire to see a masai tribe, so Mary and her mother arranged an affordable day trip to go meet a masai tribe in a traditional village where we had the opportunity to buy some of their wares and learn about masai culture. The room itself is wonderful but also wonderful are Mary and her mother and the gorgeous property in which the room is located. The town nearby is simple but with solid and affordable food and some nearby gyms. Highly recommended!

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.

Amazing apartment. Pictures look great and being there looked even better. The place is squeaky clean with daily cleaning services, towel and linen change. The building is immaculate with constant clean all floors. Security is very friendly and helpful and the convenience store downstairs is a great plus. Absolutely loved the stay here.

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.
