Sunstone Apartments, 3 Bed

Sunstone Apartments sits north of Westlands — closer to the Gigiri and Runda side of Nairobi — which makes it one of the more useful addresses in the Shammy Homes portfolio for guests centred around the UN complex, the diplomatic zone, or the embassy belt along Limuru Road. Three bedrooms, four bathrooms, six guests. Walk-in closet plus an additional closet handles a family's luggage without creative stacking. Outdoor playground on the property, window guards throughout. Room-darkening shades, extra pillows and blankets, full washer and drying rack. Security: exterior cameras, smoke alarm, fire extinguisher. Sunstone's distance from the CBD means fewer road noise complaints and an easier morning commute toward Gigiri or Upper Kabete without going through Westlands traffic. For a UN family on relocation or a diplomatic posting lasting one to three months, the four bathrooms alone make this worth a hard look.
