I stayed in the apartment for 2.5 weeks and want to leave a balanced review, so firstly the good:
•	Great central location if you want to be in the centre of Cape Town and very close to Company gardens and some nice coffee shops (and opposite the Sushi restaurant), then this is a great location. I felt pretty safe most of the time, but the area is pretty ‘gritty’
•	This central location is good because when there are power cuts you are less likely to be impacted (close to government buildings)
•	Really reliable WIFI – which was important for me since I was working from the apartment
•	Steffen was super responsive. For the first 4 days, the aircon wasn’t operating correctly and Steffen eventually got it fixed (turns out previous guests had fiddled with the removed controls!)
•	Instructions for check-in/check-out and parking etc all-clear
•	The apartment felt safe and secure, and Uber is a super quick and cost-effective way of getting around
•	Great having a parking space
•	Great having Nespresso coffee machine and milk frother
•	Appreciated the wine, coffee, milk, etc upon arrival
The not so good:
•	The mattress needs changing. You can feel every spring through it, which didn’t make for a great night’s sleep
•	The windows are very tall, so I appreciate it’s hard to block out the sun, but I got woken every morning by around 6.30am (the blinds don’t quite reach the bottom of the middle or lower sill)
•	The rug in the living room is really threadbare and could do with changing
•	The details supplied by Steffen stated there was Netflix available but when I tried to log in, it didn’t work and then Steffen told me there was no longer a Netflix account (so the details really ought to be changed). It’s worth noting that there is no connected TV, so you need your own Netflix or Amazon Prime account (there is a Google Chromecast) and yes you can get 30-days for free but the details really ought to make this clear
•	When we arrived the kitchen sink was full of dirt and hair. I think it’s because the sink blocks easily so clearly the cleaner had not let it drain (or checked if it was blocked) before leaving. I did have an issue with it being blocked but Steffen pointed me in the direction of a plunger and drain cleaner, which fixed it so no big deal.
I can see why Steffen is a super host since he was very responsive. I think if the ‘not so good’ points above could be fixed; the apartment would be even better.
