The location
It’s inbetween de waterkant and green point, location is amazing, you won’t get any better really. You have CUBANNA (for the party ones) a stone throw away, gym, spar, Woolworth, bootleggers are all closeby. It’s hidden behind the busy street, so you get to stay close to everything without the noise 10/10.
Neighbors
I’m specifically mentioning this because of a previous racist review, ofcourse I was worried after reading the comment, however I was assured by Carmen I had nothing to be worried about. The day I moved in, the neighbors were spectacularly helpful. My stay was over 28days, and I can say they were more than neighbors, I actually slept past the time for bringing out bin twice and they helped me take it out (not saying you should also sleep past bin-time lol). Overall they were amazing.
House
If you have a lot of luggage, be ready for the stairs at the gate (it’s good work out though lol), about 10-11 steps and you are good. It’s a standalone building, if you are gardens-friendly then you will fall in love. Its furnishing is clean and quaint, has everything you need basically - washing machine and dryer, dish washer, working desk and good wifi. It has a gas cooker but be warned won’t work when there is load shedding too. I feel the bathroom could use a little more work and it’s door step, bedroom is perfect, enough space and a big wardrobe too doesn’t have sunlight blinders though so the sunrise will wake you most times but the comfortable bed will probably get you back sleeping in no time lol.
Service &cleaning& security
Elizabeth the cleaning lady was an angel, she was truly helpful. Carmen was available always to help, and very prompt to solving issues. The security guards drive around every now and then, so your car is safe at the reserved street parking. There was absolutely no safety issue.
Overall
It’s an amazing place, go for it!
