Chantelle was very helpful and quick to respond.
However, I am of the opinion that you cannot rent out an apartment with the carpets being a mess. Even though she assured me that it is clean, just stained. It is filthy to say the least. The garage was also not cleaned. I can understand that sand gets blown in because of the wind. It was more than that. Geyser not switched on.
The apartment is lacking (in my opinion) the basics. No dust bins in the bathrooms. The 2nd bathroom did not have a bath mat. The kitchen only had 4 teaspoons. I would reccomend a dishwasher. The iron didn't work. No loadshedding lights.
I think the rate that the owner is asking for now is a bit steep.
The location is excellent and central!
Once again, Chantelle was quick to respond and replaced the iron, cleaned the garage and offered to bring loadshedding ligths. But it was not nice to bother her all the time. Surely there should be a check list in place to make sure everything is there.
