As I found myself in the bustling area of Mlolongo, Kenya, just 10 minutes away from JKIA and the SGR, I couldn't resist the urge to check out The Residence, a charming BNB located at JW9Q+2CJ, Beijing Road. My visit was perfectly timed in the early afternoon, around 1 PM, allowing me to bask in the warm sun as I explored this lovely place.
The ambiance at The Residence is welcoming and cozy. The staff greeted me with a smile, and their attentiveness really stood out. A shoutout to Dan, one of the attendants, who went out of his way to ensure my experience was smooth and enjoyable!
During my visit, I decided to indulge in a delightful lunch. The menu offers a variety of well-priced dishes, but I settled on the classic Kenyan meal: Nyama Choma, accompanied by a fresh Kachumbari salad. This dish is not only a local favorite but was also reviewed by previous guests who praised it for its flavorful grilled meat and fresh ingredients. Priced at just KES 500, it’s a steal!
While savoring my meal, I couldn't help but admire the surrounding views and the striking design of the establishment. The Residence is situated in the Greatwall Apartments, making it an accessible choice for travelers and locals alike.
To quench my thirst, I opted for their refreshing Ginger Lemonade. This drink was both revitalizing and delicious, and several reviewers had highlighted it as a must-try. It was well-prepared, with just the right amount of zing, priced affordably at KES 200.
As my meal came to an end, I took a moment to soak in the ambience that The Residence offers. Apart from the delectable food and the friendly service from attendants like Dan, the establishment provides an atmosphere that feels both intimate and relaxed. Many reviews comment on the comfort and cleanliness of the rooms, making it a fantastic choice for anyone looking to stay the night. I can see why guests insist on coming back!
In short, whether you're seeking a quick bite or a comfortable place to stay near the airport, The Residence on Beijing Road is worth the visit. With its diverse menu and friendly staff, the experience encapsulates the spirit of Kenyan hospitality. I left feeling satisfied and eager to return during my next trip!
