I stayed at Nelia's flat for a week for the Mining Indaba conference (2016). The flat is very convenient: 1 block from the Convention Center, 5 min walk from the Civic Center bus stations, 20 min walk to the V&A. I was staying here by myself as a female in her 30s and felt safe.

Nelia was a lovely host as well. She met me at the Civic Center and walked me to the flat, showing me where to get food, bus stops, etc. along the way to the flat. She also got in touch the day after to make sure everything was ok. The flat is perfect for 1 person or for a couple, clean, convenient to be able to cook at home, good wifi, nice and clean washroom. Despite being in the city center it wasn't too noisy. On Saturday night there was a bit of noise from a neighboring restaurant / bar, but not bad enough to keep me awake and I'm a light sleeper. The other people in the building seemed nice. The apartment is also next to two hotels, so if you wanted to get a taxi it was easy to ask them to call for you.
