Kevin's Homestay

Had a wonderful first night in Kenya at Kevin’s homestay. With airport pick-up, simple but good food & plenty of help from Kevin for the rest of my trip - it was a safe, enjoyable and very helpful first night. Pre-arranged pick-up at JKIA (made easier to meet through WhatsApp at the airport) was smooth and friendly ride back to the Homestay. The room was a comfy double with a good mosquito net and plenty of wardrobe space. Separate bathroom with, what turned out to be, some of the most reliable hot water of my trip! Breakfast was a standard fruit, fruit juice, tea /(instant coffee) & bread/toast. But what really made this such a remarkable stay - and I really have remarked time and again to friends - was Kevin’s friendly help and assistance. I ran my plans for the next few days past him and he helped me a research a couple of things I hadn’t sorted, he called ahead to my next accommodation and generally gave me so much peace of mind. Given I was travelling during some especially uncertain days in Kenya, that local knowledge was invaluable and he was a generous and reliable source! He even, very kindly, drove me in to Nairobi the next day, helped me find the right matatu and gave me a mini-tour of the city in the process! The accommodation was clean, good and simple, but everything I needed; the service was beyond 5*.
