- Marco_kamo (6/5): Very convenient quiet short stay! - Location of the booking, had lots of privacy from the main house, small garden to soak up some sun, electric blankets were great! Sheets were not changed even though they said they would, we even left for 2 hours in the morning and again in the afternoon yet they still weren't changed.
- Dylan (10/5): Really the best ! - This is my best in Randburg. It has everything needed and is good value for the price point. The bed is comfy and the kitchen very very useable. There isn't any excess space but for one person, this kind of efficiency is wonderful. There is a little outdoor sitting area and the host is generally quite responsive and accommodating via WhatsApp.
- Khoboso (10/5): The best place in the continent - This is by far best place I've ever visited. The host is the best, she waited for me until 2am and was still very kind. The apartment is super clean, everything smells good, there's no stain anywhere. I loved it. Sad that I can't give it a 1000 rating. It rates way above 10

- Spw (5/5): A big disappointment! - Not really much When I arrived at the location, there were no electricity; no back-up generator , no TV to watch I could not read, or charge my phone's battery. . .could not heat & eat the supper I had with me... etc. I feel upset that Side Step did not inform me about the power outage before hand... It could have given me the chance to get other accommodation.

- Lebo (10/5): I got some much needed rest at Side Step! - I stayed at Side Step for 7 nights- something that can be a bit anxiety inducing for any host but Side Step rose brilliantly to the occasion. I had gone there to get some much needed rest and a place where I could unplug, and that is exactly what I got. The place is comfortable. Since it’s winter the electric blanket and heater provided in the room were perfect. The unit is cute with a well appointed kitchenette, complete with an airfryer. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The host was wonderful too! Thank you Tumi and the team for giving me exactly what I needed- a home away from home. Absolutely nothing. Everything was great.

Well equipped kitchenette and bathroom clean and very functionable. Close to shops and easily accessible. Communication with hosts good. Room is small and only suitable for a sleep-over. Surroundings not very attractive, but that does not really matter when you only need a bed to sleep in and a decent bathroom.

- Clyde (10/5): I will definitely be booking with this place again. - The room was extremely clean and comfortable. It felt like the owners really cared to give their guests a great experience during their stay. The room exceeded my expectations and the owner was very good on communicating with us when there were any potential issues and keeping us updated(we had load shedding that lasted longer than expected) I honestly can't think of anything that I didn't like. Everything was great.
