Franco Villas is one of the better-located short-stay options in Kisumu — a three-bedroom apartment in a city that's grown significantly and still doesn't have enough quality furnished rentals to meet demand from NGO workers, UN staff on rotation from Nairobi, and travellers using the city as a base for Lake Victoria. Mosquito nets are standard and correctly present. Portable fans, WiFi, dedicated workspace, and a kitchen with a full refrigerator. For a group of three to six people staying a week or more, cooking and working from the apartment significantly reduces the day-to-day cost of a Kisumu posting. Three bedrooms, three bathrooms, six guests maximum. Bed linens and extra pillows provided. Fire extinguisher on the premises. The Kisumu–Nairobi shuttle connects daily, and the city centre and main market are accessible without a car for every trip.
