When it comes to travel, Airbnb is a life-changer. That’s where all my wish lists come from. Truthfully, I prefer staying in cute houses, chalets and cottages to staying in hotels or traditional bed and breakfasts. I love the privacy and the fact that you can get to make meals for yourself. 

And man, Kenya is full of such beauts, even in the centre of Nairobi city.

Here are a few affordable stays that you can drool your eyes over, and maybe even make a reservation whether you’re looking to take a solo trip, a baecation or a turn-up with the squad. 

At KES 8, 700, The Tree House would be perfect for a solo-stay or a night or two with your S/O.

Could you imagine staying in a private cottage by the river for just KES 5, 500? Best believe it!

For KES 5, 500 and accommodating four, Raven's Nest would be ideal for a double-date thing over the weekend!

Just how CUTE is this tiny space that goes for just KES 6, 500?

For KES 11, 000, you won't regret staying over at Brandy Bus. I had such a lovely experience on a solo trip there a while back.

The lush surroundings of The River Cottage, the beautiful river, the tall trees, the fireplace, the outdoor lounge area and the cosy décor contrast the noisy hustle and bustle of Nairobi would be perfect for a date night for just KES 8, 300.

These are just but a few mentions. There are a variety of staycations in Nairobi on Airbnb and it all depends on your budget and the type of place you are looking for. If you are a person who enjoys his or her stay in a hotel and would prefer to go for a hotel for your staycation, Booking.com offers a variety of them that are affordable and quite specific to your needs.
