I just shouted when I heard you say he is 51 and you're 47, you guys look young... anyway that's great how you guys keep yourselves healthy.

[@TravelCheckIns]

Thank you!

[@durutticolumn6002]

Ah hotel living... The stuff for footballers & Rock n Roll stars. Love it for y'all!

[@TravelCheckIns]

In the US it’s the same. It’s just cheaper to do it here now. We appreciate the nice comment

[@RepentJesusisComing]

You do not owe Kenyans an explanation it is your prerogative where you stay. I am a Kenyan and I only stay in Hotels. They like to get in peoples business. Blessings.

[@TravelCheckIns]

Thank you. We don’t mind explaining some things. We have found as most people continue to watch, that they understand our perspective and see that we have a reason to doing things like we do them. Again..Thank you for your support. Blessings to you and yours

[@FunandBudget]

Love it...and I love how this is more about living an upleveled lifestyle vs just living.

We think there are enough content creators telling Americans they can get a place in $200 - $800 a month. We came looking for some equal too or above what we already have in America. Or else, why would we come and live less comfortably than we did at home. We are glad you are enjoying the videos. We appreciate the feedback too. - Saidah

Welcome!

[@RMurray]

Thank you for sharing your journey and thoughts on living in a hotel. I am American also, and just got to Nairobi a week ago. When I was in America I would not even consider a hotel not even for a short visit on my trip here to Africa. But now that I am here (traveling alone) I think differently. I totally get what you're saying about conveniences and dragging luggage. I started in an Airbnb but had to move because the WIFI was shotty. I ended up moving to an apartment with maid service and boy did my life change. This apartment is largely filled with Airbnb customers so they offer a lot of hotel-like services which makes my life so much easier in figuring out the town, where to go... Also, to your point everything is in walking distance. The cost of transportation has been cut tremendously which makes long trips to indigenous areas more palatable for me. Anyway, I am visiting two more countries and the hotel route is looking very good to me now. Again thanks guys. Kwa heri

[@TravelCheckIns]

Hey be safe on your journey. A lot of people won’t understand the hotel route until they experience it. Check in with us and let us know if you do a hotel and how it compares. Be blessed

[@NjeWane01-e2i]

Great content - never thought of it like that - I guess most guys moved from hotel to Airbnb due to the cost element but I get that you guys prefer convenient living as it's what you're accustomed to. I am not sure if you exhausted the Airbnbs in the area you like which looks like it's Westlands. It would be great to see the cost analysis as Saida suggested just for our general knowledge. God bless.

[@TravelCheckIns]

We haven’t exhausted them yet. We still look from time to time to see if anything catches our eye.

[@tonyalaw8197]

You both are too funny especially your husband on the working out in the gym thing. 😆 🤣 😂 I'm happy for you guys. Enjoy yourselves in Nairobi Kenya. Great videos! Thanks be sharing 😊 🎉

[@TravelCheckIns]

Haha! We appreciate you. Thanks for checking out our video today.

[@MohamedAbdalla-c8u]

That is ideas one should should building Apartment in the Hotels everywhere in Nairobi more a good service than cooking yourself 😅😅

[@TravelCheckIns]

😂🤣😅 You’re right!!! 😂🤣

[@alexchui3511]

The pros do outweight the cons and I can understand why you chose hotel apartment over Airbnb apartment. But don't stop from scouting because the variety and options are immense in the city.

[@TravelCheckIns]

Yes. I look about once a week to catch a great deal.

[@thedante7722]

Dang you really are everywhere. In the Caldwell interview you though Kenya is from Kenyatta. lol.

[@lornake9634]

❤❤

[@TravelCheckIns]

❤️

[@DalvinceOt3]

In furnished apartments the amenities should be worth the money

[@TravelCheckIns]

We agree!!

[@pete7289]

Dr.dre looks 43yrs at most and Saidah looks 36.

[@TravelCheckIns]

Sooner or later I’m going to have to change my name to Dre. 😂

[@tony_amor]

Karibu Kenya. Wait a minute though, are you guys ageing backwards? I can't believe ya'll are 51 & 47, is it really true? Indeed, black don't crack.

[@TravelCheckIns]

😄. We appreciate it

[@Lunar_el]

Germaine like I ain't really with these internet stuff you just keep talking

[@TravelCheckIns]

🤣😂😆 It’s true!!! He’s really not. 🤣😂😆😅

[@Benedir]

[@zedekiahkwame640]

Security?in Kenya security will work you up,, even in matatus have CCTV,, everywhere it's a there, offices,malls, restaurants etc yet nothing at all to worry about,just for tracking purposes ‼️🙏

[@TravelCheckIns]

Since 2016 when we first visited we have seen an increase in CCTV in Kenya. We weren’t aware they were in matatus as well.

[@absolutely_chill]

Y'all don't understand how good kenyan intelligence is. It is those cctvs that help with nabbing wrong-doers.

[@John-k1o3d]

One video there in an apartment next video there in a hotel but same background. Not a good people to follow if you’re looking for actual intelligence and informative content if you ask me.

[@TravelCheckIns]

I don’t think you watched enough to get the full picture. We explained the apartment was located in a hotel before. Thanks for watching.

[@samuelosebemoriasi2217]

Lol...lets talk about security here, there dont have guns...lol...hehehe you will not see the guns when they come out, they are there,, lmao....go to nothern Kenya everyone is walking with an AK47 ,....heee hawa wako kwa bubble!..

[@TravelCheckIns]

We didn’t mean all security in Kenya, just our security. We’ve seen assault rifles in Nairobi many times.

[@sospeterodongo6966]

😅😅they do not live in Northeastern kenya common

[@Lunar_el]

That's just like USA if you stay in a certain part of the US and go to Chicago or a state where gun laws are legal open and carry you will see it aswell

[@TravelCheckIns]

We are from an open carry state. It looks a little different here. We can carry pistols and the police have them. We don’t see the assault rifles as often as we see here. The rules are different in the US for those.

[@absolutely_chill]

@samuelosebemoriasi relax!
