Just got back from 3 days in Kenya. Here's my detailed report.
Spent most of my time in the undefined area. Prices were reasonable. The scene has gotten busier compared to my last visit.
Accommodation: Found a good hotel for $45/night within walking distance of the action. Clean, AC, wifi — all you need.
The girls were mostly attractive. Not as many as I expected.
Food was great value. Found some great local spots.
Overall: Solid destination, highly recommend for first-timers.
Happy to answer any questions.

With respect, I think this is a bit optimistic. My experience was more mixed.

I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.
Girls: International mix. Quality was varied.
My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.
One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found a different neighborhood to be better.

I had a bad experience there last year. Maybe I went at the wrong time?

Good info. I'd add that the late night is the best time to go.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:
The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: More competition means better service.
Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.
