We enjoyed our stay and the host made it smooth thanks to the 5 stars communication and its availability. We liked very much the area, it’s calm and a bit remote as we expected. The flat is quite comfy and luminous (what a view!), very clean, the residency is safe and has a parking. Bathroom lining was very generous, so that was great!
But compared to the pictures the flat feels “cheaper” and few issues made us rate 3 stars out of 5. The power shut down once - it’s common here in South Africa - so with my parents we had to climb the 14 stairs. The bathroom is every now and then smelly. It progressively got worse during our stay and it was very strong the last day. Maybe it’s due to the lack of water (common thing too) in the bathroom the night before, I don’t know. Out of the 2 hot spots on the ceramic stove, one was not working. The host was reactive and offered to come to fix the problem, but we were mainly using the kitchen the first day in order to cook before my UTCT 100 miles race. There are no proper shutters and despite the store, it gets very lighty from 5 am, making it hard to sleep for light sleeper like me. Plus the noise of the wind… Also, one easy thing to fix in my opinion are the bed lamps. Here they are just furniture, so when we wanted to read we had to use the very white and bright main lamp of the bedroom. Not very cozy, and it also generates some light for the other bedroom due to the transparent doors. It seems now like a bad review now, but my point it’s just to point out the little things that would have made great our stay there. The overall experience was still positive.
