Mandy was a good host! Responded in good time to my messages. Accommodated my early check-in.
Pros:
Check-in/ check-out instructions were detailed and helpful and the process was easy. The security of the building is super friendly and helpful with regards to check-in, any other inquiries and check out
The apartment was very clean, stylish and welcoming. Same goes for the staff which I met during my early check-in
A lot more spacious than it looked in the pictures
The view was beautiful
Bed was comfy as well
Was within walking distance to a Spar (grocery store) and cool vintage shops and a few eateries were kind of in walking distance however I’d suggest at night to rather Uber than walk around the city center
Apartment was located on the parallel street to Long Street, so it was quieter on the street  Apartment has all the amenities you’d need
Wifi was good
Easy to get an Uber (on weekdays)
Has a fan which is good as it gets pretty warm in the apartment but that’s not bad for winter I suppose
Cons
Wasn’t any hygiene hand soap in the bathroom had to purchase some
The pillowcases had red spots on them but Mandy was prompt in resolving this and getting me new pillow cases the next morning
The satellite tv didn’t work well as it would just play the audio but no video
The iron was leaking but grateful that there was an iron and ironing board
Dishes were clean but had fluff all over them so had to wash them before using it
Other factors not relating to the apartment but to take into consideration:
The neighbours in the building were loud and I’m not sure what the loud sounds were in the pipes of the apartment building on random occasions
Had an experience with a very intrusive neighbour which I reported to the security and he was very helpful and comforting in this matter
There was the smell of trash and hookah smoke in the apartment building every time I stepped out my apartment not sure where this was coming from
It’s hard to get an Uber on weekends in the city center
Overall I had a good stay at this apartment but would maybe stay out of the city center on my next stay in Cape Town, where there are more restaurants and cool things to do within walking distance. This is my personal preference of the location of this apartment.
