Guest Reviews

• Jade (10/5): Wonderful stay at a great location! - Great hygiene and spacious, at a good location (close to Cape Town Station). We really appreciated the kitchen with large fridge and the washer/dryer. The apartment had everything we needed. The host was very kind and replied to our questions quickly. We also felt very safe as there was 24/7 security at the reception downstairs.
• LeeAnn (10/5): Lovely stay at a lovely apartment! - The location was perfect, close to restaurants and shops. It was lovely and clean and had everything we needed. The parking was safe and convenient which is essential when booking in the CBD. Everything was easy and seamless and the host was extremely helpful throughout the check in process. There was absolutely nothing that we did not like.

• Mahmudur (8/5): Best For Town Stay - Owner care enough, easy to communicate. If you want to stay in town then the location is perfect, it was clean in It's range. Though there was no hand wash in the bathroom. Room#318 When you in the room or building, then you can't guess It's day or night out there. It was bit of Concrete Concrete feel, not refreshing. Parking distance could be a problem if you travelling with family and lot of stuff.
• Nchabeleng (8/5): - The apartment comfort Stove was not working
• henalicia (9/5): Home away from home - The location is great!!Apartment was clean,host was accommodating,easy to get hold of and very friendly.Instructions and directions to apartment were very helpful.Will definitely book again!Value for ur money. Nothing
• carinie (9/5): -
• Mary (8/5): - It's a nice place The linen was not iron and the bed down stairs was not comfortable
• Melanie (10/5): - I liked the decor and the cleanliness, you can see attention to detail was given. Aircons might help, it is warm and the small windows don't let enough air on.
• Sehlola (10/5): The stay was amazing, had no complaints, the host communicated very well. They even sent pictures to show where the plac - The property was the same as in the pictures and it was clean. That only person can have access to the door to be let in and out but it wasn’t really an issue as there is always security at the main doors to let you in and out.
• Tebogo (10/5): Excellent - Everything was in order loved every minute I loved everything
• Beauty (10/5): -
• Nomaphelo (10/5): Perfect - Everything was clean, owner is friendly. The shops and places to explore are not too far from the property. Area was safe too. Nothing
• Zubenathi (10/5): Had a wonderful stay and the host communicated perfectly. - Everything about the property was perfect. It was spotless and ready for us when we arrived, we had an exceptional stay. Nothing.
• Elaine (10/5): Amazing property and super friendly host - Location and art deco nothing
• Camoren (10/5): -
• Leigh-Ann (1/5): Terrible, dirty, false advertisement, undisclosed facts. - That is was in an iconic building in Cape Town - Mutual Heights The unit was extremely dirty and under equipped. The window handle was broken, with the fire staircase would have access to creating a security risk. The owner did come fix it. It was a mission to check in, sign in to do finger print at two locations for the unit and for parking spot. The parking area was unsafe as people drove recklessly and fast. The unit advertises a swimming pool however the advert does not disclose that only 3 people have access although the unit sleeps 4. The host said there was an additional card we would use however he did not deem it necessary to leave for me as we booked for 3 people to stay at the unit. Thus when my daughters invited 2 little girls over to swim security refused access leaving my youngest daughter in tears as all 4 girls were unable to swim together. This was never disclosed / communicated prior to booking. I informed the host of my dissatisfaction and he chose to have a very arrogant stance on the matter. In addition what annoyed me the most was that I had already paid for the accommodation and was unable to source alternative accommodation as I was scared I would not get a return of funds. Nor did the host even offer compensation. The unit itself was so dirty with dark oil marks on the blinds, tiles, inside the cupboards and wall skirtings. The carpet was stained with black marks. The kitchen cupboards were dirty and extremely disorganized. There was even a used earbud in the bathroom blind. I found an old baby bottle underneath the bed, also the bed is placed on a brick covered in plastic. I am extremely horrified that such extortion can exist with the owner / host claiming R13000 for a 6 day rental with the state that unit was in. I have reported this unit to booking.com
• Gee (8/5): Beautiful place - Location and the host is very nice. Bedrooms
• Bianca Manuel (7/5): Was good - Location was good, place neat no breakfast.. Took 2 hours to actually checknin, check in is already after 2 and to spend time walking up and down is a disaster..
• Lwando (8/5): - I LIKE THE Place very spacious and clean 👌
• Langa (10/5): - It was awesome we had space and the stuff were really friendly I even re booked for another extra day ♥️i will come again Nothing
• Tsegofatso (10/5): - Everything, from the host to the staff. Everyone was accommodating and friendly. Everything you need at a home away from home.
• Alzira Maria (9/5): Esta bastante bien - La ubicación Faltaría disponer de útiles de aseo
• karen (8/5): What was needed was at hand , for an overnight stay. - Essentials at hand and anticipated.
• Nadine (10/5): - Everything was very pleasant and comfortable None
• Arendse (9/5): -
• Bryan (1/5): -
• mokgaetsi (7/5): - It was clean and not far from everything One nyt security was rude to us
• Geordene (9/5): It was very nice 👌✨ - I liked that it was so central, close to everything. Malls, shops, restaurants I have no complaints
• Hannalie (10/5): Wil use it again - Central can walk around
• Nelly (10/5): -
• Marion (9/5): Sehr schön und sicher - Sehr hübsches und sicheres Appartement, alles da was man braucht, sehr sauber Guter Gastgeber, hat alle notwenigen Informationen zugestellt Fast kein Tageslicht
• Juliana (7/5): Bom custo benefício - A localização é ótima, mas pode ser um pouco confuso no início a localização do estacionamento e do apartamento em si, tem muitos elevadores, isso dificulta de início. O apartamento é simples, mas cumpre o necessário, a limpeza é ok, mas não excepcional. Limpeza poderia melhorar.
• Valentina (6/5): Non ci tornerei - L’alloggio è molto economico e il parcheggio è comodo La cosa impattante è l’assenza di finestre che davano sull’esterno , quindi non sapevi nemmeno se fosse giorno o notte. Soprattutto non potevi mai areare le stanze e sinceramente in descrizione non erano forniti questi dettagli. Il sistema di sicurezza ad impronte digitali funzionava solo dal garage
• Ronelle (3/5): Dark and dingy. - It was very clean. Unfortunately no broom or a mop or wine glasses. It seemed a bit like the apartment was built in a lift shaft. No windows. Unfortunately dingy and dark. Very very down town, taxi rank vibe. Was hoping for an authentic city bowl experience.
• madisa (10/5): Epic - Home it was, clean and fresh. Honestly I'd like to come back again soon.mybe December.
• Mtiyane (10/5): Everything is was amazing place and host was top notch , will definitely visit again! -
• Marie Klock (6/5): Décevant - L'appartement n'a pas de lumière du jour, les fenêtres donnent sur des couloirs. L'appartement n'était pas propre ( sol collant, cuisine sale). Décevant par rapport aux photos.
• Morris (10/5): -
• Julio Cesar (7/5): Good price, quickly response from the staff, apartment is complet -
• CHIARA (10/5): Cape town in appartamento perfetto - La struttura si trova all’interno di una struttura molto bella, curata e sicura. Ha il parcheggio incluso e l’appartamento su due piani è tenuto molto bene. Non ha finestre che affacciano all’esterno
• Caryl (8/5): - Nice and cozy, extremely safe, close to many places you can walk were you want to be. Safe undergound parking. The people are always nice and ready to assist when needed. Overall was a lovely place would definetly reccomend.
• Jenifer (9/5): The stay was great, with a great host. -
• Natalie (7/5): The apartment was great and were enjoyed our stay. The admin around fingerprints and key tag was tricky to understand. E -
• Matooane (9/5): Happy - The cleaner was so so so friendly the place is nice I was happy and it worth every cent, very clean and comfortable, the place is near to almost everything which is good 😊 I am happy it's just miner things that needs to be attended. The place is not branded outside there's no board that can show where you are we drove almost 30 minutes struggling to get the place, the 064 number they giving to clients must be answered all the time because we call more than 6 times with no answer only when we use WhatsApp they were able to attend to us, parking security need to learn about hospitality I felt like they not friendly enough more especially about guiding someone to the parking and the information they were not friendly at all. There's no table in side the TV was not that entertaining, I like music and there was nothing to play the music with. I went out with my family when we came back my finger was rejected they said it has expired
• Nicole (8/5): Very good -
• Baronice (7/5): Good -
• Gool (8/5): Very good - Everything was good, just a few things that needs updating. Other than that the building is secure and safe. The stay was wonderful. I’m happy with the stay. There was no view, but that okay. The check out time was too early. Would have loved to sleep in.
• Shivani (9/5): Superb -
• Elaine (10/5): Exceptional -
• James (9/5): Superb - Secure and location
• Muhammed (8/5): Very good -
• Mthoko (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nyfeler (6/5): Fine for a short stay - The flat is comfortable and spacious but it's very dark with small windows. The location is very central but in a dodgy neighbourhood where I didn't feel safe at all times. Check in was confusing when I arrived I was told I needed a QR code which hadn't been provided to me before. The access to the building and swimming pool with fingerprints didn't work afterwards.
• Lebo (10/5): Exceptional -
• Luciano (9/5): Superb -
• Donovan (10/5): Will be coming back its the best - The location was perfect Wish there was more options other than apple tv only
• Juan (9/5): Lovely place - Lovely, modern apartment. Highly recommendable. There is no view. Each room only has small windows overlooking a staircase.
• Juanita (10/5): Exceptional -
• Yohali (10/5): A cosy, lofty, home away from home :) - It was quite difficult accessing the building from the parking, as the fingerprint/ scanning was faulty for quite some time. It was, however rectified and the host remained very welcoming, and warm and responds very quickly.
• Buhle (10/5): Exceptional -
• Amahle (10/5): Perfect - Everything!! I loved the fact that they had everything a person could need from cleaning staff to air fryers that was cute 🥰 None actually
• Faith (8/5): The host is always reachable ,very helpful and friendly when you need assistance . - Center based and easy to reach the markets as well as transport pick up and drop off
• Joey (8/5): Happiness - CLEN AND SECURITY HOST IS RESPONSIVE TO ALL TEXTS AND REQUESTS ✔️ THE BUILDING IS RIGHT NEXT TO MY ALL TIME FAVOURITE “EASTERN FOOD BAZAAR“ 🏆 CENTRAL LOCATION TO EVERYTHING 👌🏾 FACT THAT THERES NO VIEW CAN NOT EVEN SEE RHE STREET AND SURROUNDED BY THE BIG BUILDING WAS THE FLOP. BUT LIFE IS BETTER OUTDOORS.
• Carina (10/5): Exceptional -
• Alicia (8/5): Very good - The place is very nice and the location very convenient. The place and parking is very secure as well. The parking was quite a distance from where we stayed
• Alley (9/5): The overall stay was great however, the stay was short therefore there are plans to make a return - I love the set up of the apartment building especially the little office in the one bedroom made it specifically handy to continue with business work while enjoying the entire apartment Only small issue was the lighting of the apartment as there is not much sunlight passing through, it tends to be come darker sooner however, the lights of the apartment are those that set the enjoyable ambiance
• Sandisiwe (10/5): We absolutely enjoyed our stay and will be coming back soon - Safety features Foyer decor
• Moira (7/5): Comfortable, safe & private with great facilities & location. - Security was brilliant, location was great easy to walk to hop on hop off bus. The decor was very nice. Layout was great. Unique apartment. The gym was great used it daily! Carpark was great & secure. No natural light or views. Couch was wet throughout stay. Towels were in the dryer which took way too long to dry them! Smell from surrounding apartments. The address should include building name as they aren’t numbered & it was hard to find. A picture of the outside of the building would’ve been helpful to locate it. Not well sound proofed - could easily hear neighbours.
• Ras46664 (2/5): Caveat Emptor - its not what it seems! - Not much, to be honest If you are looking for a 2 bedroom apartment that is not 2 bedrooms at all, but one bedroom with an extra bed on a mezzanine, where the dirt lies 1 cm thick on the floor and blinds, where the apartment is not secure because the balcony door does not lock, so anyone can step over the balcony and enter the apartment; where the smell of curry and marijuana overwhelms you as you step out of the lift; the bathroom shower is covered in mould, then this is the place for you!
• Byron (10/5): Marnus was extremely efficient in his communication and very accomodation and hospitable. Check in was a breeze. Would s - Great location. Walking distance from anything you need and about a 5 minute Uber Ride to the Sea Point coast. The pool and gym facilities were a nice bonus too!
• Robin (7/5): Good - Difficult to work out the key box. Maybe some clear instructions - open the box with the buttons either side, adjust the wheels to the code given by the host, then close the whole box and use the buttons on the side to open it and release the key.
• Janine (8/5): Very good - The extra security measures
• Carl (9/5): Lovely Stay - Would recommend - Very good location and nice apartment. Host was very helpful. Instructions on parking and how to navigate between the parking building and apartment could have been better. But the host was very helpful.
• Tariq (8/5): Very good - Was a good place! Good ambiance Everything was available for tea n coffee with milk for 5 days Just ventilation was poor besides apartment was using for drugs so in our apartment we felt smell every time.
