The stay at Katrin's place was great. The apartment is in the perfect location for exploring Kloof or Long Street. We loved being able to walk along the Company Garden or hop over to Kloof Street for dinner and drinks. The apartment building is secure and the grounds are immaculately kept - it really was an oasis in the middle of the city! We didn't utilize the community pool in the garden, but it was a really lovely place to relax and have a sundowner right there at the apartment.
The only inconvenience (which is not the host's fault!) was the loadshedding power outages. The building is not on a generator, so no power meant no fans or air conditioning in the apartment. It definitely got warm in the bedroom when the power was down 4 hours overnight. The street lights in the neighborhood were also down during loadshedding, so the walk home from dinner felt much less comfortable in the dark. We brought a flashlight the second night and felt much better.
