Furnished Apt would include what all. Do i need to buy anthing in the Kithchen..pls clarify

Yep, it includes all I guess ! But I said FROM 80 000 Kshs per month for 3 bedrooms apartment... It could be higher than that !!

okay, how about a 2 BHK Furnished Apt. Within what range would we get the same. What about security. Will that be taken care by the LL or would it be additional cost.
How safe is Nairobi from a female employee perspective
What sort of job opportunities exist for female employees

Thank You & Regards,

If it's an apartment, security as well as electricity/water and all others charges for common parts is usually included in the rent as per lease contract.

How safe ? Pretty safe as long as you don't drive alone in the middle of the night and get lost ! As safe as any megacities !

Last question - sorry, don't know

It varies within Nairobi; depends on the area
