Number 5104 - Contemporary Clifton Apartment

Location is great, very close to the Clifton beaches and an easy taxi into Camps Bay. There are wonderful views from the balcony. The apartment was spacious and nicely furnished. The place was very clean when we arrived and the host was able to accommodate an early check in. The beds were comfy and showers were good.

There were several problems with the apartment which is such shame because it has such potential. - Firstly the sliding door onto the balcony was unlocked when we arrived and we could not lock it . It was mended after we had to spend 3 nights with an unlocked door! -The WifI did not work at all. Our host dropped off a dongle on day 3 which ran out of WiFi on day 5 and was then re-loaded with data . This made working remotely tricky. -The electric fused in part of the apartment (not load shedding) on day 2. We tried to fix by re-setting but couldn't so we were without electric for 2 days until it was fixed (kitchen/lounge/back bedroom). The same thing happened again on our last day but we were able to re-set on the fuse box this time. I am on crutches which made things tricky for me in the dark. The kitchen was a odd mix of being well equipped and not. There was only one medium sized pyrex dish that would go in the oven, no baking trays/tins or oven wear and since the apartment sleeps 6 this is inadequate. Cooking has to be limited to the hob. Our host/contact was responsive to our concerns and given that most of these issues happened over a bank holiday was limited in what they could do. Things were fixed after the bank holiday but it all felt rather chaotic and not quite the luxury we had expected. We have been offered some sort of refund but there has been no news of this as of yet.
