Why Choose an Airbnb in Ruaka?
Ruaka has become one of Nairobi's most popular addresses for short stay accommodation. It sits on the northern side of the city, close to Gigiri, the United Nations offices (UN) and the embassies of the Blue Zone district, while offering quieter, greener surroundings than the city centre.
- Close to Gigiri and the UN: convenient for conferences, consultancies and diplomatic assignments.
- Near the Blue Zone district: a good base for embassy staff and visiting officials.
- Modern, gated apartment communities: secure living with backup for the things guests care about, such as hot water, fast internet and lifts.
- Better value than a hotel: a full apartment with a kitchen, living room and more space for the price.
