The apartment is right in the CBD. I personally as a single female traveller would not stay there again as I felt uncomfortable walking anywhere in Adderly street.
The mentioned balcony is there however it is completely taken up by the air conditioning unit.
If you are going not going alone note (it is shown in the picture) that the bathroom area gives you very little privacy from the bedroom as the walls /door is completely made of glass. I also kept always the window blinds down as the windows look in right to the bedroom with the ack of the aforementioned walls for privacy.
When I arrived the shower was not working. The response was swift and the plumber came out quickly and it was fixed the next day. The water pressure of the bathroom sink was very low and there was no filter at all from the kitchen sink.
The apartment is self catering and you will receive one extra trash bag each week and fresh bed linen and towels.
I was however very much disappointed when I received a request for damages to a frame that I had already reported as broken when also stating the issue with the shower etc. When I mentioned that this may have been missed by the last checkout as was the broken shower I received curt feedback that the staff is trusted and the shower problem was fixed ASAP and I was not charged for the call out fees of the plumber, leaving me to wonder why I should be…
The apartment is however as you see in the pictures (except for living plants) and at the location.
Having stayed at two other Airbnb’s in Cape Town I would however say that you can get better value for your money.
