Upon arrival Martin’s place is great- stylishly designed with a wonderful deck and urban furniture. However by the end of our 3 day stay we had encountered so many problems it had lost its charm slightly. On arrival the kitchen tap had been fixed with tape, and by the end of our stay had completely broken requiring one person to hold it on while the other washed dishes to avoid water gushing out.
The other issue was that the deck furniture was rotten and broken. However after us raising this with Martin he kindly had the table replaced on our second day. However the parasol and BBQ remained broken.
The bathroom was good and shower great.
This would be a great place for young people needing somewhere to crash after visiting bars in central Cape Town- as it is very well located and the living area and deck is spacious.
The host was responsive via message until we complained after our stay.
Yolandi, the housekeeper, and her husband greeted us on arrival and were incredibly helpful- even bringing some of their own kitchen utensils for us to use.
With more attention to detail this could be a fabulous place! However, in light of the other fantastic Airbnb’s we’ve stayed in during our month trip in South Africa, we couldn’t recommend Martins place in the state it’s in now.
