I would not recommend to stay here if you need AC and have trouble sleeping at night.
I will start with the good first:
This apartment is literally right on the beach in Camps Bay. This is very convenient instead of having to take ubers every time you want to go to eat on the strip.
The apartment has two nice bedrooms and a slightly obstructed view of the ocean, but you can still see it.
Overall, very clean and new appliances.
The Bad:
AC was advertised on the site "Air conditioned for when you're sick of the great outdoors". Yet, it didn't work. No seriously it doesn't work. I reached out to Michael about this on our second day. His response was to "turn it on". Hmm, didn't think of that one? However, I followed all the steps he said and it started to blow out cold air. When I say cold air- I mean i would of had a better chance at cooling the apartment with blowing out of my mouth. Seriously, this was a real issue because we were instructed by Michael not to open the windows, as the strong winds could damage the apartment (which they did for the previous people who were in the apartment before us). After reaching out to Michael- multiple times there was no resolution. I requested a partial refund because AirBnB reflects amenities into their pricing algorithm. You may think this isn't an issue but do you paid for that in the price. He has not responded to my inquiry of a refund.
This leads me to the next issue it is really challenging to sleep in this apartment being so close to the ocean. When I read that the cable car for table mountain stops sometimes because of the wind I thought this was ridiculous. However, it is not. Honestly, these winds are treacherous and they will blow against the windows and make piercing noises (much better when we stayed up higher away from the water from this regard). I do not have trouble sleeping through this (however the lack of AC and not being able to open the windows I couldnt sleep from heat). My fiance, doesnt mind the heat but she is a light sleeper and couldnt sleep from the winds. Also, first day we got there key fob didnt work and had to wait for random person to let us in (not cool after a 24 hour flight). ***Camps bay tap water is making a lot of people sick*** don't drink it (host told us it was ok, but local SA people told us not to, also it was in local papers)
I have never written a poor review before but this one definitely is justified. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere if the things I mentioned are important to you- those being AC, being able to sleep at night.
