Christopher was a nice host and readily available for any questions. check in was smooth. The location was good for me. The apartment is spacious. It was inexpensive for Cape Town.
Despite all those positive aspects, if I'm to leave an honest review, I must say my stay was not positive.
The main reason is that I was barely able to get any sleep. It was a scorching hot day in Cape Town, and this place is not the place to be on such a day.
There's no air-conditioning, which is not unusual in Cape Town, but there wasn't a fan either, and the layout of the apartment doesn't allow for a breeze to pass through the bedroom. It was unbearably hot and stuffy.
There were also mosquitos, and the mattress wasn't comfortable (too soft and noisy springs), so all in all, I had a terrible night that made my next day more difficult.
There were also other less critical things about the place that I felt were not on par with other CPT Airbnb places I stayed at before, but I do not want to nitpick.
Ultimately, this place might work well for you. Maybe there will be a fan or new mattress. Maybe you aren't bothered by such amenities or lack thereof. The point of this review is to help you get a better sense of the fit for you.
