    Jacqui is such a welcoming host. I liked the flat location and comfort. It was a great gateway to my long trip. The Gallery Mall is very close, with great facilities to pick up cash, or food, or even visit a health food shop.

    From the moment Jacaque welcomes you, you instantly feel at home with a well equipped kitchen, super comfortable bed, well light rooms and peaceful surroundings which makes it an ideal option for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of downtown Nairobi while remaining close to the action. I would not hesitate to stay again!

    We were met on arrival by Naomy who was very friendly and helpful. The location was close to tourist attractions - Giraffe Centre, Karen Blixen Museum. Bomas of Kenya. It was in a gated community so felt safe.
