The two best things about this unique house are the unreal, gorgeous views and the host's excellent and prompt communication.
We appreciated the hosts letting us check in early in the morning without charging us extra. They met us at the house to explain the alarm system (several settings) and out of the 3 airbnbs we stayed at on our trip, it was the only one that actually worked.
The contemporary layout was neat and our kids loved playing pool in the upstairs and exploring the mountain behind. There is a resident porcupine but unfortunately, we never saw it. The hosts let the kids take some quills jome they had collected, though.
Unfortunately, it was extremely windy on the mountain and made the pool too cold to swim in and kept blowing the cover off the hot tub so it never really warmed up, either. I was really looking forward to relaxing in the hot tub at night and looking at the city lights. The big glass windows from the master bedroom still provided a spectacular view.
We had a couple things not function like a toilet that kept running and the hot tub wouldn't warm up the first couple days. The hosts were quick to respond to any issue we had. They had left a bottle of wine for us and upon learning we dont drink wine, brought us a yummy African liquor instead. They were both very sweet and helpful!
The only things I would change if I had to would be that some of the decor and fixtures could use an update to current times and the master bed not be so hard (my South African friends said that its normal to have hard beds there- Americans are just used to softer beds/pillow top beds).
