Kijanis ocean view 3bedrooms

My partner (Kenyan) and I (Dutch) stayed in this place together. The last night we had a family dinner and due to travels and time 1 stayed over to leave the next morning. I am 100% sure everyone is in love with this place. Except me. I have a few issues with the place. We were half an hour early, met with the host, and check in was quick, they did not make a problem out of this at all. That was very nice. We also had a good conversation about real estate and stuff. I liked the large space, the great host, the amazing view, the location overall was good, also the proximity to Nyali City Mall that also houses a carrefour, very nice for us europeans. You can open windows/doors in a way to create a very welcome breeze, wind even. Also the daily cleaning is nice. I did enjoy my stay, but, far from perfect in my opinion.

However... The fridge/freezer didn't work at arrival, and not after fixing the 1st time and information between the technician, the supervisor and the host was not optimal. We were there during raining season, wind is coming from the coast, windows and doors leak. Water is flowing even into the carpets (roughly 1m from the windows). Toilet in "third" room is leaking. Toilet in main bedroom is not flushing that well. The toilet paper holder from the ensuite with the main bedroom is out of reach. The drainage of the shower area in the same ensuite is not flowing fast enough, water is piling up, the shower itself is weak. The fan in the main bedroom is kind of scary, for instance the wires are open. The fan in the sitting area works on tier 1 and 3, tier 2 does not work (it turns off). There is no a/c. I could have known that upfront, but I didn't check. Stupid me. 😊 The kitchen is fitted, but not really uniform and it could be fitted a bit more in terms of number of cutlery and glasses. Also, be aware of the cleanliness of the drawers and the cooking utensils. I cleaned the utensils myself before using. The fridge is leaking. The cleaning lady does your dishes for you, which is nice, but there is no place for her to put the cleaned dishes. Drying off the dishes is not customary in Kenya and therefore she just place the on top of each other. Everything is still very wet with small pools of not clean water. The lady also does the laundry, changes bed sheets etc. She waits for the laundry to finish. She is in your apartment for 3 to 4 hours every day. This has a huge impact on your privacy. She then hangs them outside on the back balcony completely blocking your view. The place is meant for it, so be it. However, there is no enough space and sheets, towels etc get hanged on top of each other, obviously not drying really. Laundry is piling up there. There is not much sun or wind there either adding to the slowly drying.

The host Excellent PR

All was okey

The beach view was amazing
