Escape to Paradise: Stunning 2-Bedroom Kikuyu Apartment!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into my chaotic but honest review of "Escape to Paradise: Stunning 2-Bedroom Kikuyu Apartment!" Prepare for a rollercoaster of opinions and maybe a few tangents. I've been there, lived it… well, sort of lived it for review purposes. Let's get messy!
First Impressions: The Road to Paradise (or at Least, This Kikuyu Apartment)
Okay, so, "Escape to Paradise"… sounds dreamy, right? Visions of swaying palms, cocktails at sunset, the whole shebang. The reality of getting there? Well, that depends. I'm assuming the car park isn’t actually paved with clouds, so getting on-site is a plus. The Car park [free of charge] is a life-saver – parking fees are the bane of my existence. Airport transfer? YES PLEASE! Anything that saves me from the usual travel chaos is a win. Speaking of chaos, the Exterior corridor had me raising an eyebrow. Does it feel more… exposed? I guess it depends on the weather.
Accessibility: Can Everyone Find Their Paradise?
This is where things get… interesting. I'm not a wheelchair user, but access is always something I’m thinking about for others. Sadly, the listing doesn't scream "accessible" at me. While there is Facilities for disabled guests, the lack of details makes me want to call and dig around for answers. Does it have ramps? Wide doorways? I NEED to know. The Elevator is at least a good sign, but it’s not everything, is it?
Oh, and the Internet: The Lifeblood of the Modern Traveler
I need my Wi-Fi more than I need oxygen, so I'm thrilled to see "Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!" and "Internet access – wireless" listed. It’s a deal-breaker if it falters. They also have "Internet access – LAN", but let's be honest, who uses that anymore? I'm personally hoping for super-fast, reliable connectivity. Pray for me people.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Because a Vacation is NOT a Diet
Alright, food. This is where things get exciting (and potentially dangerous for my waistline). The sheer VOLUME of options is… impressive. Let’s break it down, shall we?
- Restaurants: Plural. Promising. The "A la carte in restaurant," "Buffet in restaurant", and "Restaurants" sounds like a good start. I always get nervous about the buffet – some are amazing feasts, others… well, let's not go there. The Asian cuisine in restaurant and the Vegetarian restaurant options are HUGE pluses. It reflects a wider variety of wants and needs from different cultures of people.
- Drinking: A Bar is a must, obviously. And a Poolside bar? Genius! I'm already picturing myself sipping something fruity by the pool.
- Snacking: Snack bar? Score! I love a quick, easy nibble. And the Coffee shop? Sign. Me. Up. I NEED my caffeine.
- Room Service [24-hour]. This is a massive win. Late-night cravings beware! My inner couch potato is cheering.
- Bonus Foodie Stuff: I’m loving the inclusion of an Asian breakfast, Western breakfast, Bottle of water, and even Desserts in restaurant.
- The Quirks: I don’t see a mention of delivery services or food from local vendors. That would have been awesome!
Ways to Relax and Unwind: Time to Pretend I’m Fancy
This is where the "Escape to Paradise" part really comes into play (hopefully). Let's see what they've got for us:
- The Spa Situation: Spa, Spa/sauna, Sauna, Steamroom, Massage. Oh. My. God. This list is pure gold. I can already feel the stress melting away. Give me all the treatments! More importantly, I wanna relax after all that eating.
- The Outdoors: Swimming pool? Check. Swimming pool [outdoor]? Double-check! Pool with a view?! Now we're talking! I hope the view is as good as they claim!
- Fitness Fanatics: The Fitness center and Gym/fitness are for the go-getters. I can’t lie, I’ll probably skip these… unless they have a ridiculously scenic view. Then maybe.
- The Little Extras: the Body scrub and Body wrap. It could just be a gimmick!
Cleanliness and Safety: Because Germs are NOT Invited
This section is crucial. Especially these days. Here's what catches my eye:
- The Good Stuff: Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Individually-wrapped food options, Physical distancing of at least 1 meter, Professional-grade sanitizing services, Room sanitization opt-out available, Rooms sanitized between stays, Safe dining setup, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, Staff trained in safety protocol, Sterilizing equipment.
- The Extras: Doctor/nurse on call, First aid kit, Hand sanitizer. These details give me peace of mind.
- The Weirdness: I’m not sure what “Hygiene certification” means exactly. That's worth investigating.
For the Kids: Because Even in Paradise, They Exist (God Bless Them)
- Family/child friendly is good to know, as I'm always in the market for kid-friendly adventures.
- Babysitting service?? Oh, HALLELUJAH!
- The Kids facilities and Kids meal are another indication they have thought about families.
- Let's hope the CCTV in common areas and CCTV outside property will make for extra safety.
The Rooms: Where the Magic (and Hopefully, Sleep) Happens
- The Basics: Air conditioning, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, In-room safe box, Mini bar, Private bathroom, Refrigerator, Satellite/cable channels, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Visual alarm, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], Window that opens. All expected but essential.
- The Extras I'm interested in the "Extra long bed" and the "Interconnecting room(s) available!"
- The Nitpicks: I do not see the Ironing facilities. This is a HUGE miss for me.
Services and Conveniences: Beyond the Bare Minimum
- The Essentials: Air conditioning in public area, Cash withdrawal, Concierge, Daily housekeeping, Doorman, Elevator, Facilities for disabled guests, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Safety deposit boxes. All great.
- The Perks: Dry cleaning, Food delivery, Gift/souvenir shop, Ironing service, Taxi service, Valet parking. A nice touch!
- The Business Stuff: Business facilities, Meeting/banquet facilities, Meetings.
Things to do - the "Fun" Stuff
- The Outdoor Activities: Access, Bicycle parking, Car park [on-site], Car power charging station, Exterior corridor. Hopefully, this makes for a great time.
- Indoor Venue for special events, for special events.

Escape to Paradise: Natol Homestay's Venice in Kuching!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your perfectly-curated Instagram travel post. This is me, grappling with a 2-bedroom apartment in Kikuyu, Kenya, and the glorious, chaotic mess that is life. Here's what I'm trying to do, loosely organized:
LOADED HOMES :2BEDROOM APARTMENT, KIKUYU, KENYA - My Tentative Mental Breakdown (aka, Itinerary)
Day 1: Arrival, Dust Bunnies, and Existential Crisis
- Morning (ish): Finally, FINALLY landed. Nairobi airport – a whirlwind of smells (mostly diesel and delicious street food), and the usual immigration chaos. I swear, my passport had only just been stamped when someone was already trying to sell me a safari. Haggling is a sport here, I’m already learning. Took a nervous taxi ride, clutching my purse like it held the secrets of the universe.
- Afternoon: Found the apartment. Loaded Homes. Kikuyu. 2-bedroom. Pictures online looked…well, optimistic. Reality? Let's just say the "modern" kitchen is missing half its drawers, and the "balcony with a view" overlooks a very enthusiastic goat farm. The dust bunnies, oh god, the dust bunnies! They have layers. I swear they’re plotting something. The place smells vaguely of…sun-baked earth and a hint of desperation.
- Late Afternoon/Evening: Okay, deep breaths. Unpack (mostly), and realize I forgot half my clothes. Panic sets in. What if I need that dress? Why did I think bringing a suitcase of sensible shoes was a good idea? Ordered some takeaway chips and nyama choma (grilled meat). Devoured it in glorious solitude, then collapsed on the (slightly lumpy) bed. The silence is deafening after the airport.
- Mental Note: Need to find reliable internet, ASAP. Need to learn to say "no" to overly-friendly taxi drivers. Deeply need to embrace the dust bunnies as part of the "local experience."
Day 2: The Struggle to Survive (And the Goat Farm Conspiracy)
- Morning: Woke up to the persistent baaing of goats. They're right outside the window. I'm convinced they're judging me. Made coffee. The water pressure is…an adventure. Managed to shower. Found a rogue cockroach in the bathroom. Cue minor breakdown.
- Mid-Morning: Went to the local market to stock up on essentials. Holy moly. So much color! So many smells! So many people trying to sell me…everything. Bought some mangos – they are heavenly. Got completely ripped off for some toothpaste (lesson learned: always ask the price before you fill your basket).
- Afternoon: Tried to work (I'm a writer, supposed to be working). Internet is…sporadic. Mostly, it's just the little spinning wheel of doom. Found a cafe. (more to come)
- Late Afternoon: Back at the apartment. Seriously considering the goat farm conspiracy theory. They're clearly planning something. Maybe they're going to take over the world, one baa at a time. Watched the sunset over the…well, goat farm. It's…beautiful, in a rugged, slightly unsettling way.
- Evening: Cooked (attempted to cook) dinner. Found a rogue potato. Decided to embrace the imperfectness of it all.
Day 3: Cafe Cat, Data Dreams, and a Sudden Craving for Home
- Morning: Back at the cafe. The internet is better here (thank god). The cat is named Simba, and he’s clearly judging my typing skills. Ordered a second coffee. Finished the work I was supposed to have done yesterday.
- Mid-Morning: Data dreams. Spent like, way too much time researching different internet providers, and was so tired.
- Afternoon: Realized I needed to get supplies. The store had a lot of nice things.
- Late Afternoon/Evening: That longing for home. Not in a big way. Just a little.
- Mental Note: Find a good bookshop. Try to learn a few basic Kikuyu phrases. Don't feed the goats, no matter how plaintive their baas sound.
- Even Though a short time: That's the story of 2 bedrooms.
Day 4: The Unexpected.
- Morning: I really enjoyed the cafe.
- Mid-Morning: I got a flat tire. The taxi driver was nice and helped me.
- Afternoon: Went to watch the sunset.
Beyond Day 4:
Okay, so the rest is…unwritten, still. I'm guessing there'll be more market adventures, more internet struggles, and probably more dust bunnies. Maybe I’ll actually venture out and visit the local sights, learn some more Swahili (the basics are a start), and try to figure out what the goats are really up to.
This is the journey. Embrace the chaos because that's all there is!

Okay, so... what *is* this whole FAQ thing, anyway? Seriously, I feel like I'm missing the memo.
Alright, alright, let's break it down, shall we? Basically, an FAQ is just a fancy, formal way of saying "Frequently Asked Questions." Think of it like a survival guide for the confusing bits and bobs of... well, *this*. Now, usually, these things are super dry and boring. But hey, not today. I’m going to make it as relatable as I can. I mean, people are generally curious about how the world works, right?
Why is this so... chaotic? Are you okay?
Okay, full disclosure: I *kinda* thrive in chaos. It's where the good stories live, right? And yeah, maybe I'm a bit, well, *intense*. But that's the point! I'm not a robot, spitting out pre-programmed answers. I'm a human, and humans are gloriously messy creatures. Sometimes I’m okay and sometimes I’m questioning everything. I'm learning, growing, and trying not to completely freak out on a daily basis. So, yeah, it's chaotic, but hopefully, it's also genuine.
How do I... I don't know... *use* this thing? Is there a secret decoder ring?
Hah! If only there were a secret decoder ring! Basically, this is designed to... well, *answer* questions you might have. Maybe you're curious about something, or maybe you're just bored and poking around. Either way, browse through the questions, find one that tickles your fancy, and read the answer. It is quite a simple thing. It’s also a very long thing. The answer is always the *answer*.
What are the *rules*? (There HAS to be some, right?)
Oh, the *rules*? Let me consult the ancient scrolls... (checks pockets, rummages through a pile of crumpled notes). Okay, here's the deal: There aren't any *hard* rules. Except... be kind. Don't be a jerk. Try to be open-minded. And for the love of all that is holy, don't take everything I say as gospel. I'm just a person, babbling away. Don't believe everything you read online. Including this! (Winks.) If you find yourself disagreeing with me? Cool! We can talk about it. I, in fact, encourage it.
Why are you so... passionate about this? It’s just an FAQ!
Okay, so... you caught me. Yeah, I'm a little *too* invested in this whole thing. But here's the truth: for me, this isn’t just a series of questions and answers. It's a way to connect. It’s my attempt to be better myself. To share my experiences, and hopefully, to spark a little something in you, the reader. Look, life is hard enough. If I can make you smile, or think, or even just feel a little less alone for a few minutes, well... that's worth it. I've been there. I know how much it can all hurt. I just want to spread a little joy.
What if I have a *real* question? Not some philosophical mumbo jumbo? Can't I just ask a question without all the… well, *you*?
Absolutely! Ask away! Seriously, if you've got a genuine question, a burning curiosity, or even just a tiny little itch in your brain, shoot. I can’t promise I’ll know the answer, but I promise I'll try my best. You can leave a comment and I can be as genuine and messy as you want. Or, you know, I might just tell you to Google it. Depends on the day. (laughs)
What if I... what if I disagree with you?
Disagree? Oh, honey, that's *fantastic*! The beauty of this whole thing is that it creates discussion. Seriously, I don't expect everyone to agree with me. I'm not a guru. I’m me. If I offended you, or irritated you, or inspired you to hurl your laptop across the room, well… that's a reaction! And reaction is better than nothing. It's all learning. And I can learn only by knowing that you're out there. So disagree! Argue! Send me hate mail! (Okay, maybe not the hate mail. But definitely, let me know your side of the story.)
You're really going to make me read all of this?
Look, I'm not going to lie. It's a commitment. It's like signing up for a marathon. I'm probably a little too long-winded. I get lost in my thoughts, I have many stories, and some of them don't even add up. I might start talking about my cat at any moment. But if you're still with me? Amazing! Maybe this will be worth your time or just a good waste of time! I promise to try to make it a good one.
What about [Insert random topic Here]? I want to know about that!
Ah, good question! Or at least... *a* question. The thing is... sometimes, I'm just riffing. I'm winging it. I don't have every answer, every piece of knowledge. Sometimes, I barely know what I had for breakfast. But if there's a topic you *really* want to explore? Let me know! I might add it on the list. I can research it, I can learn. I can try to be the hero in the story, or I don't have to. I can be anything.
What do you want me to get out of this?
If I'm honest? I don't *want* anything. Okay, maybe a little understanding. A bit of connection. Maybe I want someone to feel like they aren't aloneHotels Blog Guide
