6/10 Good

The accommodations were fine. Had some issues with bathroom door. The staff at "front desk" were pretty useless and getting assistance with anything took too much effort. It took great effort to arrange to have our luggage stored on the last day since our flight was late and checkout is 10am. Location was central and convenient.

Great apartment. Clean, well equipped with a great view over Cape Town and Table mountain. Everything you could want with kitchenette, flat screen TV and pool on the roof (just a shame about the weather as didn’t get to use it). Very safe and secure in good central location. Kenny the host was extremely helpful. Really highly recommended.
