Here is the good, the bad, and the ugly.
GOOD/GREAT
This home is absolutely stunning! It is exactly as it is in the photos. Modern luxury with great color, and if you are into interior design you will certainly appreciate the attention to detail. WiFi was high speed and there was a wonderful speaker for music in the evening that paired with Bluetooth.
You cannot beat the view from the roof. Breathtaking views of Table Mountain and the city and with the floor to ceiling windows you can take advantage of the view from whoever you are :)
Location rocked! Definitely central and on close proximity to everything you need- a ton of hipster night spots, there is a wonderful bakery just a block away with the best coffee in the area in my opinion :) and a quick Uber away from most tourist attraction.
It was very clean. We had a courtesy check in daily from a host who made the beds and cleaned the kitchen and bathrooms which was wonderful.
THE BAD
This is REALLY minor, but although the unit is really clean there is a stale smell in the master bathroom that just wouldn’t go away. I would suggest bringing bleach wipes or a scented candle and that should do the trick.
THE UGLY
Be sure that the lift is functioning. Unfortunately, both the front and back lifts were down (which according to many people in the building happens a lot) so we had 7.5 flights of stairs to travel to the top floor where the unit is- and if you are planning on going in and out multiple times a day this was quite a challenge. It also took away from the luxury experience you get in the unit because there are rodent traps and garbage in the back stairwells.
I’d say just check with the hosts on this because it was a shock for us and if you know in advance and can plan for it, and know to expect it.
