Dated property and unpleasant host - avoid this house. We arrived at the property and, in comparison to other properties in the area, found it quite dated. Door handles and cables loose, visible rust, inadequate showers, bed too short, gate missing or broken (which represented a safety hazard for our toddler son). We unfortunately can't upload pictures with a bad review, but some prior comments allude to this and we have sent pictures to Airbnb within a complaint. So, we called the host and politely explained that it was not what we expected - a big mistake...
Allen did not take kindly to news of any criticism of his house, and the thin veneer of civility very quickly slipped, leaving my wife in tears at his abrasive rudeness. This did not go unnoticed for his partner Sue who yanked him away from the phone several times in order to avoid further verbal abuse. Looking thru the comments afterwards, Allen's behavior seems not new, I leave it to you to browse them yourself. The perception of dated and the various issues may be subjective to some, how you treat your guests is not
All in all, an experience from both house and host that deserves the term "terrible". There are many nice properties on Clifton and in Camps Bay at a similar price point that provide much better value for money, and come with nice people. It goes without saying, had Allen and Sue acted in a friendlier way, I would not have gone through the effort of writing this review as well as raising an official complaint with Airbnb
