1 Bedroom furnished rental FAQs

How big is a typical 1 bedroom in Nairobi?

Studios run 25–40 sqm, 1-bedrooms 45–75 sqm, 2-bedrooms 80–130 sqm, 3-bedrooms 130–200 sqm, and 4-bedrooms or penthouses above that. Older blocks in Kilimani and Lavington are often noticeably more generous than new-build equivalents.

What is included in a furnished unit?

Standard furnishing means beds, wardrobes, sofa, dining set, cooker, fridge, and usually a washing machine, plus curtains and basic kitchenware. Full-serviced adds linen, weekly cleaning and sometimes utilities in one monthly figure.

Is service charge on top of the rent?

In most furnished lettings the quoted rent already includes service charge, but confirm it. Service charge in premium Nairobi blocks runs roughly KES 3,000–5,000 per square metre per month, so it materially changes the total.

Do you charge tenants a fee?

No. We are a matching service, not an estate agent. We introduce you to a verified landlord and take nothing from you.
