I was part of construction of this building, the structural engineer was a Ugandan, main contractor was wodia civil and structural works back in 2012/13... thank you
This apartment is quite cool. In Nairobi the price shifts significantly if the apartment is furnished or not. So looking at the apartment being furnished, the location and the amenities, the price seems reasonable
I discovered you around a month ago, your content is great! Welcome to Nairobi! Your location is also very convenient, next to many malls, clubs and restaurants
If you are happy then the price is right. You may find something cheaper but at what cost. Comparable to California it is a great deal. Secondly, it is about the quality of living and the standard of living you have set for yourself. It is what makes you content, safe, and gives you peace of mind.
Hey Julian! Glad you finally found an apartment that you liked...200k is like 1,730US$ which is not bad for all the amenities that are included, the views you are getting and its central location in the heart of Westlands...looking forward to more vlogs featuring fun experiences you are having in our lovely 254...
the amenities sold it for me. plus you're literally walking distance to anything you need. great restaurants, fantastic clubs, plenty of shopping malls all 5 to 10 minutes away by foot. Its a good deal.
0:28 See that tower-like structure, it is a revolving restaurant at the Movenpick hotel. It is a great place to be for dinner and to capture night views of the Nairobi skyline.
$1700, That is definitely a great deal all things considered. Most of the replies are forgetting it's fully furnished & the location that it is in. I highly doubt you'll get a better deal.
Consider the location ( Westlands) 360 view through out the building, the amenities, security, it's fully furnished. I think it's worth it. Plus love that you got it cheaper in the same building from a different agent. You don't want to compromise on anything like, access to town and all the things around the apartment like malls, restaurants and the like ( that's also why it's that price)
@@Viewsfromjoe Except this is not Los Angeles. and that kind of money will get you a better apartment in the leafy suburbs of the city. Then again maybe he likes living in noisy, dusty and over built places...
For that location The property The amenities That’s a great price I wish I could rent a place with A gym , steam room and sauna for that price in London Wishful thinking !!!!
I think that for all the points you mentioned, the apartment is very affordable. Westlands is a prime location to be in Nairobi, with everything literally like less than 15 mins away from you from office and co-working spaces to restaurants to shopping malls to nightlife and other entertainment. In the US you will pay that amount for less than 10% of everything you're getting so well done on securing such a dope place!
Apartment is dope. You can move to Lavington and get a fully furnished btwn 800 to 1000 usd depending on the amenities. You can sign up for gym membership at the nearest mall should it not have one. It will give you the chance to meet new people everytime you go for your work out.
That is a good deal comparable to US. It is about the quality and overall standard of living. I measure an apartment by this one question, “will I want my mother to come and live with me in this apartment or home”. If you are happy then the price is right. You may find something cheaper but at what cost.
Julian is that dude, living that life in Nairobi🍀the place is really nice, the views are like that✨👍🏿 the price seems worth all the goodies it comes with, if you like that’s what matters. Thanks for the tour💝 much love to you Julian😍🥰💖🤩🥳
It's a very nice place Julian! Considering the location, amenities and the furnishings I think its a good deal. This is Africa so there is ALWAYS "another way" Good job man.
That is a very good deal. It is fully furnished, you have full access to the gym and sauna, 2 bedrooms, in Westlands, it cannot come any cheaper unless it is not furnished.
Greetings I’m currently in the Westlands as well. But just put a deposit down on a condo in Upperhill. Will be moving here permanently in October/November timeframe.
I own an airbnb at Skynest as well and for that price you are very lucky because fully furnished house there for a two bedroom will start at USD 2100-2500 am sure you saw that . And i see you nearly daily but too shy to say hi .
I love how you present yourself ...From the time i started following you,i can say you are the best creator.I think you should also visit Nakuru county , Naivasha ...you will love ,love it.
You have a beautiful apartment and it is nicely furnished, all you have to do is add your personal style of decor. The price is very good for all that is included.
It has been many many weeks and with a second look at Nairobi where you are hopefully you’re still there that apartment still looks wonderful and yes just saying it’s not overcrowded like my apartment building I think you have a real blessing to have that apartment and the peaceful surroundings. Above Everything you are not being harassed by the horrors that a black man experiences in the US. As soon as I get rid of my apartment debris I plan a trip yes to the continent of Africa I’ve been to Egypt stayed there for a brief moment like three months so I know everything is not perfect but once again it would be nice not to hear someone has lost their life amongst the mad insane crowds in the US. But back to being positive just looking at your surroundings to me is a thrill of a lifetime keep enjoying I love it.
Simplistic elegance, opulence,and splendor adorns your apartment Julian Albino particularly the swimming pool, ( Love the panoramic view of the city) baconey, and gym milieu. However- I want to be like you Julian when I grow up. 😆 lol ( Considering all the amenities, services, and location I surmise that $2000 would be the going price. But- I think it is too much )
Thank you for giving us fabulous content. Honestly 150k should be the price but it's not too bad. Keep exploring Nairobi and be open to different experiences 💜
You love that place, and you should stay there if you are comfortable. It has everything you want. You're paying a few bucks extra; so what, you're worth it! Enjoy!
Keep the videos coming! Ive decided to move to nairobi in the next 2 months after falling in love with it last week! The apartment is next level! Absolutely stunning thou if i compare it too South Africa, its very expensive but if its in the budget, why not. Really jealous right now
Curious, how much would a fully furnished apartment exactly like this with similar amenities cost if it was located in the middle of Capetown or Joburg?
It would probably cost half the price of this apartment to around a $1000. But cities/countries are different and have their reasons for charging the way they do. Such prices may not be targeted at locals but i may be wrong.
This is by far the best place you've lived out of all of the places you've traveled to imo. This is giving pure Miami beach luxury and out of all places, Kenya! Gotta love it
Nairobi isn’t a coastal city though. It is unique. The weather doesn’t get humid. The climate ranges between highland climate to Savanna climate. The climate alone, to begin with, gives it it’s own uniqueness.
Wow! Very beautiful clean stylish modern apartment...!!! ... & the price sounds great considering all the amenities... The broker did an excellent job... you should give him some promo ... 👍
@@JulianAlbino Great game (burn 1,000 calories an hour) but then again, I’m biased. Here’s a clip from a match played outdoors in San Francisco.

You should also have tried Kilimani or Lavington 'Weslands can be a little pricey. Because of proximity to the Nairobi CBD i think the rental rate is fair 'I have frnds who pay about the same
Nice place ♥️ I think te price is ok. You would never find this in Amsterdam or in westen europe. Just en enjoy maybe there is cheaper but this is really not bad. Thank you for scharing.
@@davludi2612 for 1703 a month he dont need to clean. That is olso in the price and the rooftop and te gym. In the main city. I really dont see this in Amsterdam maybe in other city or country. This is based on my upion in the west. I never lived somwhere else. If its was for my self i would def do more home cooking🤣🤣 to save. Maybe he need to take a kenian simpele cooking class 😊
Soooooo so so nice and so YOU! I think the price is GREAT b/c you got exactly what YOU want for your lifestyle as well as what you need with some great amenities. I wouldn’t look any more. Just enjoy it. Thanks for sharing!
The price is okay considering what it comes with plus westlands is awesome. You can find a cheaper one without those amenities and in a different location mostly lower than westy in many angles. Security, quality etc.
Nice yo! That's your style. I would stay, but in months, yea venture out. But your in a safe location and the amenities... I like. Take care & have fun man! 👍🏾
for apartments like this you can get between $900-$1100 USD. You don't need to be in westlands, you could find something in Lavington, Kilimani or Kileleshwa at a better price and still safe
Glad you took it for $2,000, that's a very good deal. Nairobi is inexpensive (for foreigners at least) which is why you find people like the ones in the previous video who tried to charge you nearly twice the standard rate
Given the amenities and location, the price really makes sense. Aaand it's furnished. The standard of living in Kenya economically is now equally comparable to Europe. I think it's a great place and the price is actually spot on.
People like saying this but it's not true, you can get a spacious unfurnished apartment with all the amenities you need and then some in Nairobi for even $1000 a month while in Europe a similar apartment that is smaller with not even half the amenities may cost you as high as $3500+. You won't get an apartment like the one Julian is living in at that price anywhere in Europe all things considered. In most European cities, for a little under $1000 you get an apartment the size of the average bed sitter in Kenya. You should see the ones in Paris & London especially.
@@thorfinn7291 spot on. She is exaggerating, no way the standard of living is comparable to that of Europe. I guess if money is no object, then its fine, but personally I'd find many options within Nairobi at half the price if not a fraction of it. And Westy is overhyped anyway. There are many great options all over Nairobi if one is willing to look around with an open mind.
Skynest Residences by CityBlue is quite the Westlands sensation. Just to mention, we recently opened a fine dining restaurant on the ground floor, please pay us a visit for your Afro-Fench-Asian fusion cuisine.
For Westlands I’d say it’s a good deal for a 2 bedroom fully furnished will all amenities and utilities but I’d suggest you check out other areas with equal standards of amenities in the Kileleshwa, Kilimani and Lavington area
Glad you settled bro and are happy with the new apt. However I'm paying nobody that price! Not in Nairobi, its way overboard. Yes, given the amenities and all. The fact I'm seeing people compare the prices with the US? 😃
Maybe as an American it's affordable... As a South African 😅😅 its a bit on the steep side! Coz even shared you'd pay R13500 per month 😆 it's beautiful though, I mean with the gym and everything. That city is beautiful! 💞
They ARE overcharging a little bit, but it's still pretty good for what you're getting as far as location, gym+pool. If you don't need all the amenities, 200k a month could get you a decent house, but then that's too much for just one person, plus maintenance+security+utilities.
It’s a wonderful living quarters for you. Enjoy. Once your satisfied, don’t allow anyone to persuade you otherwise. Security is very. Am very happy for you.
But he is getting equally posh areas literally a stone throw away at 2/3 of the price at most. Bougie places too. And serious security. So your encouragement is good but short on bearing.
An all en-suite 2 Bedroom furnished apartment in Westie with all those amenities 🙌 you've got good value for your money. I hope the rent includes your utility bills (electricity & water)? Most areas would charge 250k minimum
No way. Not for a fully furnished 2 bed apartment in Westlands with all the amenities it comes with. It can only get cheaper if it is unfurnished minus the extra amenities.
Gai aki mimi ndio sina pesa...kwani hawa wanatoa pesa wapi na nimeshindwa kulipa bedsitter ya 6k...jullian am saying how the view is soooo beautiful...welcome to kenya

That is a great deal. I would gave guessed 2.5k. The amenities are amazing. Westlands Is the place to be and be seen. Excellent choice. Even for that area that is a fantastic deal for a furnished 2b apartment. If you consider that the furnishing would be $500/month then you got a steal!

They ARE overcharging a little bit, but it's still pretty good for what you're getting as far as location, gym+pool. If you don't need all the amenities, 200k a month could get you a decent house, but then that's too much for just one person, plus maintenance+security+utilities.
It’s a wonderful living quarters for you. Enjoy. Once your satisfied, don’t allow anyone to persuade you otherwise. Security is very. Am very happy for you.
Thank you 🙏🏾
But he is getting equally posh areas literally a stone throw away at 2/3 of the price at most. Bougie places too. And serious security. So your encouragement is good but short on bearing.
An all en-suite 2 Bedroom furnished apartment in Westie with all those amenities 🙌 you've got good value for your money. I hope the rent includes your utility bills (electricity & water)? Most areas would charge 250k minimum
Hey Julian
Your apt is FAB! Love it!💋
My friend is your neighbour, skyline is a very nice place especially the rooftop
For the area it's a good deal but if you don't mind moving to other areas you can get a better deal
It's a good deal considering it's very close to town ,the amenities and services, but I feel like you could have bargaining to 150k a month
No way. Not for a fully furnished 2 bed apartment in Westlands with all the amenities it comes with. It can only get cheaper if it is unfurnished minus the extra amenities.
150k is Kilimani sides but what he has is actually a great deal considering the amenities it comes with and the location. The pool especially!
Gai aki mimi ndio sina pesa...kwani hawa wanatoa pesa wapi na nimeshindwa kulipa bedsitter ya 6k...jullian am saying how the view is soooo beautiful...welcome to kenya
Hahaha
You’re doing your thing & I love it
Will be in Kenya in August 2022🙌🏿
Karibu Kenya 🇰🇪
Welcome
I think this apartment is everything.. and the price is on point.. I live in NYC and trust the price is spot on.. Two beds.. the amenities and the views are awesome.. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 .. My partner and I have been looking outside of US for places that are safer.. Your videos have been essential viewing .. (been watching ya since you were doing videos in Merida) .. so keep on going!!! (Also it’s not “master” bedroom anymore 🤣🤣.. they say “Main” bedroom .. 🤷🏽♂️🤣🤣
come invest in Nairobi!!! in me actually 🤣
Nairobi, Kenya looks way more advanced than Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
It is.
What did you expect tho East Africa’s largest economy?
But of course!
By a mile 🤣🤣 also compared to all East African countries
It is🤣
The apartment is wonderful and the price is right .
That is a great deal. I would gave guessed 2.5k. The amenities are amazing. Westlands Is the place to be and be seen. Excellent choice. Even for that area that is a fantastic deal for a furnished 2b apartment. If you consider that the furnishing would be $500/month then you got a steal!
I'm glad you are happy..it is actually beautiful now that we got the real picture..I love the view!!
Kileleshwa kilimani lavington are good areas you should definitely look into 😉
am considering to come nairobi soon would really appreciate to meet that real estate agents that hooked you up with such apartment
it's a good deal for that area..but I agree, you need to explore!
The view is therapeutic
