Perfect location for a visiting scholar at UCT. Walk to medical school and shuttle stop for upper campus.
The host is not based in SA so had to get assistance with check-in which did not go well. Arrived evening but housemate was not available to check me in. Host booked an an alternative accommodation for one night. Next morning was able to check in- but room had not been prepared for my stay. It has not been cleaned, had a disturbing smell and multiple stains on the windows. Housekeeping helped me clean. Host was quite dismissive about my comments - kept referring to previous guest causing damage and this lack of listed provisions. Being clear when expectations were not met helped with getting bedding.
Room has horrible lighting - wall fence outside - not per picture. My 3-wks say was pleasant (thanks Teddy) until the last three days when host visited. Smoking in the house and a late party that resulted in robbery and verbal violence. A ran to room of other tenant for protection.
