This stay was like a piece of Gauteng in Cape Town - neglected and broken in places.
The garage burnt out a while ago and has not been repaired. The garden had not been tended to in the last decade. There was no running hot water in the second bathroom.
The filters said that the unit had parking, but it did not have. The hostess gave us the incorrect pin for the lock box and we struggled to get in touch with the hostess for the correct pin. It took a long while to get into the unit, while waiting on the street.
It was dark and with the plants being so overgrown, we felt unsafe. There is no security gate or garage door at this unit. People can walk directly from the street and come and stand next to your bedroom window.
We were supposed to stay for two nights, but checked out early the next day.
Even though we notified the hostess and owner about all the problems and told her we will be checking out a day earlier, because of safety concerns and we requested a refund for these reasons, we still have not received our money back. At first we were ignored and later told to talk to AirBnB directly. After this horrible experience, the hostess had the cheek to ask me for a five star rating.
