Also you can cook with charcoal in a flat, but not in an apartment;
Flats never get painted on the outside even over a 30 year period, and have no bulbs in the staircase

Initially,an apartment was a furnished flat. I stand corrected.

The NSSF houses in Embakasi are referred to as flats if they were somewhere in Kile, lavi or paki they would be apartments..... something to do with location?

I recently went to Ruaka and Kinoo and noticed that the newly constructed flats/apartments look just like the ones in kileleshwa and lavington ie the build quality, design and finishing, landscaping. So the Gachie guy is right.
