6/10 Good
Apr 30, 2024
This property has the most incredible view - this is it's saving grace. It is also across the road from the beach and once you figure out the very complicated access and exit process you are good. The decor in the photos is true to the experience - pretty if you don't take a closer look. Be aware there are about 10 very, very steep steps from where you park to the entrance of the building.
The apartment is very run down/shabby. The beds are uncomfortable (torturous), the sofa is stained and quite dirty. The laminate floors are curling up, the bathroom cabinets water damaged. The door covering the hot water heater is held up only with a piece of tape wrapped around a water pipe (I have photos). The master bedroom door was coming off at the top hinge and couldn't close fully and the handle came off in my hand when I tried to open it. (They did come and fix this when I complained). The blind in the master bedroom sticks half closed (fixed but resumed issues the next day). The front left stove plate doesn't work and the back right stove plate tripped out the entire apartment. (Apparently the property manager needed to "assist with the bed and stove" which they didn't).
We stayed 2 weeks, but slept at friends and families homes for 6 of the nights so we could sleep comfortably. The mattresses really need to be replaced! The closets smell.
I'd avoid staying here if you value a good night's sleep. We slept on the sofa a couple of nights in desperation.
Cape Town is spectacular!
