Lydia Sabina is a great host! She is lovely, fun, and knows the neighborhood very well. Her meals are delicious, the house is clean, and the safety and comfort of the guests are important to her.
The location might take some getting used to, but it has been one of my best travelling experiences! It was not only interesting to get in touch with locals, but Sabina also prepared some heart-warming surprise (no spoilers).
When I visited, we also spent some time with her partner Bryan who is very welcoming and cheerful.
Thanks for the inspiring and entertaining time!Host reply

Lydia was an amazing host! She truly provides a "home away from home" and has a very welcoming family. I highly recommend staying with Lydia for all travellers to Nairobi and thank her for such a great stay in her home.

It's been wonderful staying with Lydia Sabina. She and her family are extremely welcoming and friendly. She always makes sure that I am comfortable, took a lot of time to show me around town and get me acclimated to Nairobi, and teach me about Kenyan culture! The house and the room are always very clean and neat, and the location is perfect to interact with locals and take quick trips to the market & grocery store. Everyone that's coming to Nairobi should stay here!
