Frequently Asked Questions

Most serviced apartments come fully furnished with living room sets, bedroom furniture, kitchen appliances and cookware. They typically include weekly cleaning services, WiFi, basic utilities (sometimes with usage caps), and building security. Higher-end properties may offer additional amenities like gym access or concierge services.
For stays under 6 months, you'll usually sign a shorter lease agreement (sometimes called a license agreement). Payment is typically monthly in advance plus a refundable deposit equal to 1-2 months' rent. Some properties require proof of employment or income for verification.
Pet policies vary by property - about 40% of serviced apartments in Karen allow pets (usually with size restrictions), while others maintain strict no-pet policies due to shared common areas. Always confirm pet policies before booking as additional deposits may apply.
For units where utilities aren't fully covered, expect to pay approximately Ksh 3,500-7,000 monthly for electricity (depending on AC usage) and Ksh 1,200-2,500 for water. Internet packages average Ksh 3,000-5,000/month for high-speed connections.
The highest concentration is near Karen Shopping Centre and along Langata Road. More secluded options exist in the Hardy and Nyari Estate areas. Proximity to international schools often determines location preferences among expat tenants.
