Unfortunately we do not have a nice experience renting Scotty’s place. It started by driving in to the neighborhood which felt totally unsafe and actually gave us the chills. We now know that when we will go back to cape town we will definitely not stay in this area.
When we arrived we had to park our car on a bit shady parking place surrounded by a lot of homeless people. When we wanted to leave, it took a long time till the gate opened which made us even more unsafe since it drew the attention of these people.
Besides the unsafe feeling that we had, the room hvas no airconditioning (its mentioned) but with a flat roof on the top floor it was hard to breath. I have astma and the oxygen level was so low that i really had trouble breathing.
We wanted to discuss the matters above with Scotty but it was hard to get in contact with him. He did not want to give us his number. After 3(!) days - we did not sleep in the appartement- we finally got in contact with a women. But we never spoke to Scotty himself. Felt like a big company behind it (very money driven and not wanting to help or think with their guests)
Long story short: would’t recommend this place. Communication is very very not smoothly. But most important, staying here you will get the wrong impression about the safety and vibe from Cape Town.
