First of all the positives – Semion’s apartment is in a good area of Cape Town and the apartment is clean if nothing special. That is where the positives end. Semion himself seems determined to earn extra money out of you during your stay. When he found out I had a night flight home, he saw an opportunity to make money out of me with a late check out charge which went up from 4 or 500 Rand stated verbally to 799 Rand when the AirBnB request came through. He stated if I didn’t take this I would need to check out at 10 am, even though the cleaner was still getting the apartment ready for me at 3.30 pm on the day I checked in. In fairness, I managed to get this waived as the wifi went down for 4 days and I spent a lot of time on the phone to his wifi company sorting it out. He also let himself into the apartment when we were out on the premise of giving us a coffee pot which to be honest I felt a bit invasive. We really fell out over a shoddily repaired blind pull that failed when I pulled it down to block out low sun on my last day there. I could see bits of fishing line fell out where it was repaired before and tried my best to reassemble it. We are now in dispute with AirBnB and he is denying it was ever repaired to them which gives me the impression he is a blatant liar. I would recommend finding alternative accommodation in Cape Town.
