Simon's place is super centrally located and was ideal for a longer stay. There's a bit of traffic noise outside the apartment and the lack of A/C might be noticeable for some in the summer months, though there is a nice cross-breeze with the windows open. It's quite bright in the morning, which I liked and the bed is massive and comfortable. Simon was on hand to provide some remote troubleshooting and a UPS was provided during the stay so the wifi could stay up and running for remote work. Mary (co-host) was pleasant enough, and while she was responsive and got the job done - I've certainly had warmer welcomes and easier communication on other stays. The apartment is very self-service though the pix (particularly in the home office could do with updating rather than relying on the caption "does not contain second screen"). I actually found the internet to be a bit patchy at times, but I'd say it's fairly decent for South Africa after hearing the nightmares my friends went through.
