Christopher’s apartment is perfectly situated right on Clifton 1st beach. I spent 3 weeks there during our Cape Town winter but was fortunate to experience great weather and got to enjoy lots of beach time.
The apartment is perfect if you intend to eat out all the time or order in. If you plan a long stay like I did and like cooking then the kitchen has minimal pots, pans or cooking trays of good quality, no matching cutlery or glasses and the ones that are there are of poor quality and chipped. For a high end apartment and super host I would have expected the kitchen to be better equipped.
I unfortunately also had a bad check in experience with Christopher which probably could have been avoided if he read my message to him before he accepted my 3 week booking. He clearly accepted the booking eagerly in off season and did not clearly state all the conditions prior to check in. I hope he’s clarified the description of his apartment in the meantime to avoid misunderstandings.
There are ongoing renovations at other apartments in the block at the moment with constant workers in and around the common areas, including next to the apartment. I would also have appreciated advance notice of this. Please check with Christopher prior to booking if you have concerns regarding this.
Overall I really enjoyed my stay at the apartment. Before booking please make sure Christopher reads all your messages and clarify anything from your side before he accepts the booking.
