This had to be the worst place I could of pick . It ruin my 2 month experience in capetown. There was weekly protestors/ film production weekly that made me feel unsafe or not welcome to come and go from the apartment. There were bugs that I would kill daily. If you don't keep the windows open during the day the apartment smells like sewage .the shower doesn't have drainage well so water would fill to your ankles almost every show. The hot water isn't enough for a full shower. Weekly you can see the police beating on a local for what ever crime outside the window at 3/4am. The internet was something I ask about but I had to email the host weekly about the email he would take several hours which cause me to fail me online university calls. The power you have to email every two weeks to add credit to the power. I was stuck in the elevator a few times , so I ended up using the stairs mostly. The window shutters aren't attach to the building. The winds are very strong which slaps the shutters so there is no getting sleep at this place. The bed and flat pillows are rather shitty. would advise not staying and paying over 1800$ usd a month. Long street is full of drugs, theft, prostitute and nothing but trouble. I couldn't find a local person that hangs on long street. It's way to dangerous for a single female to walk at night .There are closer places way cheaper, peaceful and safer
