I stayed in the apartment for about a month.
The bad:
- Room is right across from a mosque with prayers broadcast on a megaphone regularly throughout the day, with the first morning prayer regularly waking us up when it takes place at 4:30am!
- Apartment is immediately above the gym which means you’ll regularly hear loud thuds from weights being dropped from 6:30am to 9pm
- Air conditioning is only on the bottom floor and the cool air absolutely does not travel to the top floor - mostly because of the glass barriers. It was very hot in the bedroom in spring so I imagine summer would not be fun
- Sofa isn’t very large or comfortable
- Reception staff cannot receive/hold parcels for you
The good:
- Very large (180cm) bed
- Very central location, downtown hotspots, V&A, beaches etc are all within a short drive
- Huge, cheap gym and supermarket in the buildings
- Not affected by load-shedding
- Propr, the management company, were responsive and helpful
