This property offers access to a patio, free private parking and free WiFi. The property offers bike hire and features a garden and picnic area.

The cottage was so incredibly comfortable and cozy. The hosts were so helpful with local activities and will do anything to make your stay outstanding. Breakfast was delicious and most filling. I enjoy getting away from the centre of cities for peace and take taxi if I want to go to centre. This place is perfect for that. It is in an upscale neighbourhood.

Set within 6.5 km of Kenyatta International Conference Centre and 9.1 km of Nairobi National Museum in Nairobi, Juddy Place offers accommodation with seating area. There is a private entrance at the homestay for the convenience of those who stay. There is a children's playground and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking.

Juddy is the kindest, most welcoming host I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. As newcomers to Nairobi, my friend and I were a bit nervous especially after reading about safety concerns online and having everyone in the US warn us. However, Juddy encouraged us to take matatus, told us exactly which ones to take and where to find them, and what rates to expect. She also told us what prices to expect for fruits and other goods, which is really valuable for bartering down the mzungu prices. Without her, we wouldn’t have been able to fully experience Nairobi. The house is in a guarded compound within a safe middle class area of town. The rooms are spacious and clean.
