As far as location and view goes Propr's place can not be faulted. The apartment is immaculately clean, we were delighted at the amazing location,with an unrivaled view of stunning Cape Town and Table Mountain.
However, we do have some comments to make which we hope will make it easier for future guests.
1) The check in and check out process. Whilst collecting the keys from a lock box at a service station wasn't too inconvenient we are bit unsure why it was necessary as the check out instructions were to leave the keys at a lock box at the apartment. Also the code for this box didn't work, we tried to leave the keys back at the service station lock box but that orginal check in code didn't work either. Therefore we had to wait at least an hour for a reply via email as to where to leave the keys. We then had to find the office to drop the keys which wasn't easy to locate. (unmarked office in a business park) to a woman who barely looked at me
2) When we arrived we had no hot water. Having been off grid for 2 days we were all looking forward to a hot shower. We manged to work out how to turn the geezer on but it took over an hour for hot water. There was nothing about this in the house instructions email and again the response time, via email was long. Perhaps a whats app contact would be useful as we did not have air time.
3) We chose this apartment partly because of the washing machine and dryer. This was the end of a very adventurous holiday. On the second day we had no electricity. Which we discovered when the garage door stuck half way. After several emails it appears we had used our allowance. We were topped up. Following several holidays in SA we have never experienced this limit before. We were advised that this is normal in SA. This should be something that is mentioned in the details. We travelled in winter so it was cold, we had the heating on and we did tumble dry 3 loads. It was really frustrating having to wait to get this resolved as we were on our way out.
4) We did not have a tea towel to dry dishes. We were advised someone would drop one off though. But decided to decline.
5) No dishwasher tablets are provided. Again, worth mentioning because its a little thing but when you are travelling those little things make a difference. We left some dishwasher tablets at the apartment so hope we can help the next guests.
All of this highlights little frustrations to our stay but nothing can take away from the beauty of this apartment, the view. the cleanliness, the modern facilities. The Blue cafe just around the corner is very much worth a visit. Gorgeous home baked goods and excellent coffee.
If you are looking to stay somewhere to gaze at Table Mountain and beautiful Cape Town then this apartment is perfect.
Thank you, Propr for a good stay.
