This is a difficult review to write because this flat is very nice, great location, great views, very clean and well maintained. However, Cape Town has a serious problem, there is NO electricity, and power cuts up to 50% of every day mean that nothing works, most annoyingly the bedroom fans which means many sleepless nights in high summer heat. But also you cannot make coffee in the morning, dinner at night, watch TV, or use the lift (it’s on the fifth floor) - and i’m afraid you do start to wonder what you have paid for. This is obviously not the fault of the owner, however we felt that more needed to be done to mitigate for appliances never working; many places are installing inverters which switch everything to a battery back-up, but this apartment doesn't have one. At the very least we thought a gas stove and battery fan for the bedrooms should be provided. It’s a shame because the flat is lovely but but we eventually thought that the flat is very poor value without an inverter.
