Overall really lovely apartment, and does look in real life like the pictures.
Our main issues however were
1. The host did not warn us about the load sharing that is happening in Cape Town. This means for 4 times a day the power goes off for around 2.5 hours each time. This is really unusual for most major city’s and something we would have thought would have been shared with us in person at Check-In along with a schedule for when the blackouts would happen, as it’s different every day - but this didn’t happen. Also there were no matches or lighter to light the few candles in the apartment so absolutely pitch dark until we went out to get some. I would have expected battery powered lanterns or something.
2. The very large beautiful windows overlooking the city does not have black out blinds so anyone who is effected by light in order to sleep I would be carful or bring an eye mask. The roof is also metal so on windy nights it is rather loud, again a problem if a light sleeper.
