Unfortunately, we experienced significant issues with bugs during our stay, leaving both my partner and I with a large amount of bites. We stayed in both bedrooms, with the windows open or closed, and you could feel yourself being bitten, even during the day. The host's response was that it was due to a heatwave (we had been staying just up the road in Sea Point for the last week during the heatwave and had not experienced this issue) and that we should buy some bug spray.
Ultimately, after 3 nights of poor sleep we checked out early. Airbnb were not understanding - they would not offer a refund as we did not take enough pictures of the bugs to adequately evidence the issue.
In addition, we had to wait inside the property for a few hours on one of the days as the window was so poorly maintained it was unable to be closed at a time when there were strong winds (as often happens in Cape Town), and it needed to be fixed by the maintenance team.
Overall, our worst Airbnb experience.
