Guest Reviews

• Sonqai (10/5): -
• Ioannis (10/5): - Spacious and comfortable apartment in a nice area of Johannesburg close to many points of interest. Very clean. Owner very kind and helpful made my stay a memorable experience!
• Roderick (9/5): We really enjoyed our stay for 11 days. We were not disappointed. - The bed was very comfortable.very clean. Well stocked. Every thing you needed. All satisfactory.
• Michael (8/5): Very good - The host was very welcoming and responsive. I would recommend it anytime
• Frank (10/5): I will most certainly return on my next visit to JHB - The owner is very friendly and made sure I was comfortable. North facing sunny room overlooking a well-kept garden and a super clean swimming pool. Parking is secure on the property.

• Rothenburg (8/5): Comfortable and in a good area. Friendly host. - The bed was comfortable, the bed linen was nice, the host was friendly, the space was very and clean and big, and it was close to Houghton, where I needed to be every day. The garden was nice, and the patio area was wind- and rain-protected. The blackout curtains were good, and the Wi-Fi worked well. There was also a comfortable seating area to watch TV. Not very far from the airport, which saved time and money when I needed to take an Uber. Not complaints, but suggestions: add a soap holder and facecloth holder in the shower, and a mixer tap in the shower will be easier to use than 2 separate taps (I was struggling to get it to just the right temperature), a pan and pot with a small one-plat stovetop would be a bonus (sometimes one wants to fry an egg and sausage, which is not that easy in a microwave), darker bathroom mats, (dark blue or camel colour, instead of white) will prevent dirt showing so from walking around barefoot inside and outside (it was hot on the first few days). I would also suggest an extra blanket in the bedroom (I was a bit cold at night). The pool was unavailable while I was there, which was a bit disappointing, as I would've liked a swim on the first few hot days.

• Zunaith (7/5): Good - The place was exceptionally clean. Plenty hot water with good pressure for showering. Pleasant fragrance from the bouquet of flowers in the room I asked for self catering but the room didn't have a stove. I had to buy breakfast which cost more than R100/day. The TV lost reception most evenings probably because the bandwidth isn't sufficient to carry the load when everyone is watching at the same time. It was very frustrating
• Amine (10/5): I will go back with pleasure. Thank you for everything. - Everything, especially the kindness and availability from my host. Nothing
• Khambule (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful place and value for money. Wonderful and warm hosts. Can't think of any
• Serge (10/5): Comfortable home away from home in Joburg! - The host Nikos was one of the best hosts I had. He was very welcoming and showed great hospitality. I was able to leave my luggage in the house well after check-out time because I had a flight in the evening, which allowed me to easily still explore the city. The pool is nice and the room has almost everything you need! I actually liked everything but if I would need to come up with something and in order to further improve: My room lacked a kettle to boil water, but I am sure if I had asked for it, I would have received one. I did not need one which is why it was no problem for me :)
• Victor (10/5): Exceptional -
• Munashe (8/5): Very good -
• Munashe (8/5): I loved the property and will certainly come back in future. - Quite spacious, clean, full neat bathroom with a convenient kitchenette. Decent WiFi speed. The hosts are quite friendly and always ready to help make the stay even more comfortable, quite hospitable. No parking bay which could be inconvenient kn cases of harsh weather. Getting in and out of the property could be tricky for an inexperienced driver and with busy traffic behind, one has to be cautious especially coming from the side where one has to cross the bold line to turn into the property. It’s manageable though, for experienced drivers.
• Jani (10/5): Exceptional - Clean, comfortable, quiet and great facilities including stable internet connectivity.
• Kadziri (10/5): Exceptional -
