Positive:
Apartment has a perfect location, in between touristy Long street and V&A Waterfront. We really liked the fact that the apartment has a separate bedroom (with a HUGE bed). Weekly cleaning lady is provided, which means clean towels and bed sheets every week!! Everything is provided in the kitchen: oven, microwave, toaster and even a dishwasher. Awesome couch and DS-TV available for people who like to watch movies.
Things that could be improved:
The apartment is fairly old, it could use a little update and some things need to be fixed. As stated in the advertisement, there is no air-conditioning, so be prepared for sweaty nights. There is a fan but if it’s really hot that doesn’t help much.
The final 2,5 weeks of our stay I decided to work from home for my job. Unfortunately the WIFI connection so bad that I wasn’t able to connect my laptop to WIFI (the only things that worked was Whatsapp on a cell phone). After a few days I decided to contact the people that checked us in about this. It took them a few days to take this issue serious (they kept saying it should work…). The next day the owner of the apartment fixed the problem. However, after a couple of days the WIFI connecting was bad again (refreshing a page for 20 minutes ‘till the connection is barely good enough to open 1 page is very frustrating…). Since I had to work I had to use the hotspot on my cellphone, which cost me a lot of money. In our final week internet was off completely. Not sure if it couldn’t be fixed anymore or they didn’t bother checking anymore. This is just to inform you; you might wanna reconsider working from home. Just rent an office space in a co-working space, saves you a lot of trouble, frustration and money for data….
