The apartment itself is beautiful and very comfortable. It is indeed nicer than seen on the pictures.
The views are amazing. You can't ask for better views in Cape Town :) Table Mountain, the lagoon, Milnerton beach, Cape Town harbor... all in one view
A few things that inconvenienced me (having been a very frequent Airbnb user)
1- Excessive noise coming from the apartment upstairs (one night there was loud music), then there were works being done on the floor. (Every single day, during the day we could hear hammering, grinding, dragging etc) I understand this is out of the hosts' control, however still a nuisance.
It is also interesting to note that at some early evenings up until 9pm, it sounded like the same apartment was used as a recording studio. Loud music/talking and even swearing could be heard
2- There were frequent issues with the cold water pressure. I am aware of the fry dams situation in CPT, however this seems to be more related to the water pump on the condo
I was also left with the impression that host could be a bit evasive when asked for help. In one occasion, host indicated that I could cancel earlier, if not happy
Although the apartment and views are beautiful and well located. The above items have definitely damaged the overall experience.
