A key piece is that there was no backup generator and Capetown has extensive blackouts due to loadsharing. It is a decent walk to town, but at night you have no way of getting an Uber unless you have local phone service; indeed you are isolated. In going to Camps Bay a. full view of the ocean is important; so the side view afforded by the apartment was not ideal. The apartment building is large, clean, but not attractive. The apartment was clean and sufficiently equipped - no complaints there at all except for electricity as noted above.
