At arrival Alex was very friendly and had gone to a lot of trouble to ensure place a been warmed up as we arrived late night in winter.
On first tour we realized this is not a private apartment at all. It appears to be a garage converted into a room sub divided by a cupboard. The room is dark as very little natural light comes in. It has also been crammed with a double bed, bunk bed and dresser in a very small space about 4m x 2m. The room divider is also dark which makes it appear even darker.
The lounge is even smaller crammed with chairs table and bookshelf. Very little place to move around in.
The kitchen is just off these with no division. . The web lists it as an apartment, which it is not. The bathroom is at front door. Shower only. Water pressure was not existent and on enquiry was said that this is due to water restrictions. This is questionable as the next place and friends places in Cape Town they had no such problems. The bath towels were also very thin and small. A bigger person would struggle to dry themselves with the towel provided. Entry is shared with main house which is upstairs.
Privacy is non existent. The place is not spacious at all. TV/ lounge is part of bedroom. Second room is off lounge, the daughters room. The so called outside patio is below the main house outside with no privacy as hosts can see down through windows. We did not complete our stay and left next morning as felt like we were quests in a house, cramped with no space to move.
If you require privacy and space then this unit would be challenging. The old saying of you get what you pay for is true in this case. If you are on a tight budget and can cope with the shortages then it should be ok. Place is clean and well stocked with utensils.
