Best Airbnb experience ever. Sometimes these Airbnb apartments smell a bit of desperation, you know, someone not doing so well trying to squeeze a last dollar out of a bad situation, like the place I stayed recently in Johannesburg that made a big deal about telling me they had provided me FREE TOILET PAPER, wow how generous, and advertised that they provided a free beauty soap which turned out to be a used sliver of dove soap left on the hand basin. Simon’s apartment is home away from home. Excellent sleep quality, fabulous storage, tons of hangers, iron and ironing board. The kitchen had those things that make all the difference like fresh milk and a bottle of water in the fridge (and a bottle of wine and some chocolates), tea bags of every kind, coffee capsules, and all the little things that you need that you don’t want to have to go buy like salt & pepper and olive oil. Just perfect. Comfy, full of blankets and pillows and cushions and aircon and a fan over the bed. Working fast wifi, cable TV and online TV (Netflix), it was the perfect Airbnb. If you are looking for a place in the CBD you cannot beat this spot it was so convenient, I was working at the conference centre and it’s like a 4 minute walk away. The building has excellent (but not stupidly complicated) security and I can’t believe my luck really.
Simon also went out of his way a couple of times providing personal service that few others would do (receiving a parcel by courier for me and dropping it off) so I’m also grateful for that.
And finally, even if the cupboards were bare (they weren’t but IF they were) there is the most fabulous Food Lover’s Market in the ground floor of the building, kind of a hybrid baby of a grocer store and a food court, everything you could possibly want is available there in terms of groceries but there’s also a juice bar, a salad bar, hot cooked meals, BBQ, fish and chips, pizza, baked goods, WOW.
Very very good do not pass this by it can’t be beaten. Perfect for a single or a couple.
