- Mariska (7/5): Praktisch verblijf - Als je het eenmaal gevonden hebt, dan is het fijn om bij aankomst een winkelcentrum te hebben voor de eerste levensbehoefte (banken, supermarkt enz). Verder heeft het appartement alles wat het moet hebben. Het vinden van de locatie (het appartement) vonden wij een crime. Het zit in een complex (waar hoog op het flatgebouw dan wellicht Raphael opstaat) wat een gewone woontoren is (en in een gebied wat vol staat met hoge gebouwen). Uiteindelijk hebben wij de host gebeld (wel heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam) die ons hielp het gebouw te vinden. Eenmaal gevonden was het ook niet zo makkelijk. Parkeren onduidelijk, concierge die nergens van wist en (hoewel we van de host wisten dat de sleutel in een envelop bij de buitendeur van het appartement lag) je komt ook niet zomaar de woonetages van het gebouw in. Uiteindelijk hebben we het weten te fixen, maar ons humeur was toen al tot het dieptepunt gezakt. Het appartement zelf is oke (maar ook verouderd). Bedden heel hard en binnen warm. Maar centraal koel/warm systeem leek ook kapot, dus wij hebben ramen open gezet (voor zover die open konden).

- Nokuphiwa (10/5): Amazing!!! - Everything!! Pictures does not do justice this apartment is beautiful. OMG appliances, kettles and cutlery. I will definitely book again. It is close to Convention and Mandela square. Also very secured. Securities are nice and very helpful. Nothing honestly. I loved everything.
- Dimitrios (7/5): - Very clean apartment. Well maintained. Does not a have a safe, I would suggest to put a safe for you valuables.
Maybe also include a coffee machine.
- Philma (9/5): Excellent location - The location is excellent with direct connectivity to Sandton Square and the mall as well Sandton Convention Centre. Spacious and nice balcony view. List the property as non-smoking. There was a smoking smell. Security could improve their customer cate skills
- Farhaad (9/5): Perfectly located Sandton apartment - This comfortable apartment is located above Nelson Mandela Square and has good security.
I spent 8 nights here on a business trip and overall had a good experience.
The guys at security/reception are very friendly and eager to help.
Communication with the owner was quick and easy with nothing being too much trouble.
This apartment is my new favourite in Sandton.

- Leonard (10/5): The apartment exceeded all our expectations. - This host and their apartment exceeded all our expectations. The apartment was absolutely stunning, with every detail carefully considered to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. But what truly sets them apart is their exceptional honesty and integrity. I accidentally left my wedding ring behind, and they promptly contacted me to let me know, allowing me to retrieve it. This level of trustworthiness is rare and truly appreciated. We feel grateful to have had the opportunity to stay with such wonderful hosts and would highly recommend their apartment to anyone looking for a fantastic place to stay. Five stars isn't enough - we'd give them ten stars if we could!

- Tuuliki (7/5): Lovely - Location They can improve the quality of bedding and curtains
- Nompumelelo (7/5): Lovely apartment, great location, excellent security staff. - The security guys are amazing and extremely helpful. The unit is well decorated, kitted and clean. The gym? Chef's kiss!!!! The toilet/bathroom doesn't have a door - not an ideal situation at all unless you are travelling alone. This is the only thing that would make me not book again.

К сожалению, он не работал и пришлось воспользоваться вентилятором, который шумел. И ещё бы, конечно, хотелось шторы Blackout

- Jamie (10/5): We are pleased to have had a great experience in Joberg. - Excellent location and we found Sandton a safe area. The property is connected to a huge shopping mall which has a supermarket. It’s also connected to an outdoor restaurant area and be sure to have a great steak at the Butcher’s Grill. Shower beginning to show some mold and kitchen cabinets seem to be installed incorrectly.

- Joni (9/5): A little Gem in the heart of Sandton - I always say in life everything can always be improved, but my stay in this apartment was superb in so many ways...safe, convenient, comfortable, beautiful are all fitting words for this lovely place with wonderful facilities, great WiFi, comfy and large bed and all kitchen utensils you may need...the owner was available and helpful and even insisted on paying for my overnight Mandela Square parking bill as the Raphael receptionists didn't give me my parking keys on check in...I'm seriously thinking on timing all my future visits to Sandton based on the availability of this unit. There's nothing I didn't like really, maybe more towels could have been available, maybe some water in the big fridge?...but that's neither here nor there, it was still a wonderful experience staying in this beautiful unit.

- Cornelius (10/5): Exceptional location to Sandton - The property is central to all attractions in Sandton. Exceptional location!
- Kevin (8/5): Very good -
- Natalie (8/5): Very good - Host was responsive and apartment was well equipped. Very nice crockery and SMEG appliances! It was very clean and comfortable. The Wifi password was sent to me by e-mail but I had no wifi, so had no access to e-mail, but when I called, the host sent it. Would have been nice to have a bar of soap at the basin or a hand soap. The quality of the cupboards are a bit flimsy but didn't affect me - just a note to say that the hinges should be screwed in to avoid doors falling off.
- Tania (10/5): Exceptional -
- Winston (10/5): Exceptional -
- Altina (8/5): Felt like a home away from home. - Beautifully furnished and was every comfortable. TV facilities are great. Couch, chairs and bed are extremely conformable. The shower was a little small, but manageable. There were no hand-wash soap. Coffee/Tea options weren't my taste. Not a great view from balcony.
- Julie (10/5): close to mandela square. lots of light and fresh air. lovely facilities! - the location so close to mandela square was very convenient. I loved the balcony so I could open the lounge and bedroom doors and get fresh air. The pool is great, and the staff were extremely professional and helpful! nothing
- Commy (7/5): Very relaxing - Sitting and kitchen not limited to the balcony No Bathtub and bathroom/ toilet door. Privacy in regards for utilising the toilet is important that toilet door be closed for majority of us.
- David (10/5): Exceptional - The place was spotless clean , spacious , modern, close to everything basically by Nelson Mandela Sqaure , safe and secure 5 Star place Nothing

- Lawrence (6/5): Convenient location. Since the owner is not there, no-one takes responsibility if things aren' right - Very central and convenient. Nice modern look We had to wait ages to check-n. No keys available. So we lost half a day waiting around for the host to bring an access card. If time is short avoid this because we missed our dinner with friends because we had to wait to check in. We did try and organize things smoothly before, but we did not get enough communication

The aircon wasn't working properly and there were no bathroom amenities such as shampoo or lotion. The kitchen tap wasn't functioning. Overall it was a comfortable stay.
