We stayed in Somerset West for 4 weeks and this apartment at Summer Place was nearly perfect for us. Sylvia was helpful and accommodating to both our arrival and departure schedules. She checked in with us regularly to make sure things were going well.
While without air conditioning, there are several fans that move the air around really well. And with the breezes in the area, even hot days were tolerable. There is a bit of traffic noise but the neighborhood is otherwise quiet. The lock on the front door security gate is very secure, but requires a key for both entering and exiting. The front gate self-latches and the front door self-closes, so parents with very young children need to be aware that children could lock themselves -- or you -- out.
The apartment was spacious and clean, with a full kitchen and a nice bathroom with a shower. The wifi and cable TV worked well for us. The roomy bedrooms had good cupboard and closet space. We ate most of our breakfasts and lunches on the patio and most of our dinners up on the rooftop garden. The views are fabulous, and we saw some wonderful sunrises and sunsets.
The neighborhood felt safe -- we went jogging most mornings and never worried. The location for us was super. You are only 1 block away from groceries, ATM, wine shop, and several good restaurants. The parking at the apartment is secure, and it's "easy in, easy out."
We would rent with Sylvia again. The combination of location and accommodations was great.
