Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Karen

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.

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

Our second stay at this house. The location was perfect for our family. The hosts are were responsive and provided all the information we needed to make our stay comfortable. I would stay here 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.

We absolutely loved our stay. It was the perfect place for a family Christmas, with not just relatives, but visiting Turkeys, Chickens, Dogs and even a giant tortoise. The Compound itself is stunning with some wonderful big old tree’s. Ann was a wonderful welcoming and helpful Housekeeper.

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.

This was our second time staying with Grace and Ruth, and they were fantastic hosts! The community around the apartment was very supportive. We stayed here for a few months, and it was a wonderful long-term experience. Any issues that arose during our stay were addressed quickly. The location is central, making it easy to reach many places. I work remotely and found this place to be an ideal office as well as a great spot to unwind with my family. I will definitely stay here again.

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.

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!

Our Airbnb host was fantastic—proactive and quick to respond. Even though her house is tucked away in a serene and beautiful location, she provided clear and accurate directions, making it easy to find. She was readily available to ensure our check-in was smooth and hassle-free. During our stay, she checked in on us but also gave us the freedom to enjoy ourselves without any interruptions, even as a large group. The house is stunning, cozy, and perfect for a relaxing getaway. We had an amazing time and would love to stay there again! Thank you once as Christine🙏

Great place to be in. Florence is a very friendly host. The place has great amenities.

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!

We had a great stay at this rustic getaway! There are a few routes to get there, but going through Corner Baridi was the easiest...our 4x4s handled it just fine in light rain. The place has a charming, earthy feel, with each bedroom creatively themed after African kings, which added a nice touch of character. Brian, the housekeeper, was responsive and helpful throughout. For a small extra fee, they collected firewood and set up a lovely bonfire for us. The food was tasty, though the kitchen team seemed disorganized when the main chef wasn’t around, so timing was a bit off. Still, all things considered, it was great value for money. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful, character-filled escape from the city.

Loved our stay at Casa G! :) Mercy is a great host, and rooms are very spacious and clean . We are definitely coming back! :)

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!
