Read the small print - you have to pay for your own electricity. The host’s excuse for this is very poor and when challenged he effectively admitted it was to cut his costs. His excuse might fool foreigners but as a local who has stayed in several Airbnbs in Cape Town this is not common practice. Don’t expect any consumable cleaning or washing products including soap/shower gel. Everything will have to be bought which is an inconvenience and an additional cost. There was 1 roll of toilet paper for a nearly 3 week stay. Only one towel and set of linen which took longer than a day to dry after washing it so it had to be used damp. The bedroom is noisy and there’s a dog in the apartment below that barks constantly.
Other than that the apartment is big and modern although the couch and walls are a bit damaged. The WiFi is fast and reliable. The host was quick to respond and was kind enough to let me check in early. It was decent enough to extend my stay rather than go through the hassle of finding somewhere new, but it’s not without issues.
