    Milany Homes, and Milany herself met all our needs. If you expectations are for what would be five star in USA or another Western country, then pay 10 times as much in a luxury apartment which offers that. If you want a more Kenyan experience, this is simple accommodation served by a very caring host in Milany who will ensure your needs are met.
