This is a beautiful unit in a neighborhood where white people cannot safely walk. That is not my opinion-the desk clerk escorted us to the grocery and back, made sure our Uber was in front before we left the lobby, etc. The area is not rundown. I was sad that our visit was altered by this circumstance.

This is a very nice apartment and the staff were very helpful. I didn't expect it, but since I had the windows open for the duration of my stay, I always got to hear the Muslim pre-dawn and evening call to prayers. I am not of that faith, but I still found it a highlight of each day. I also really like the extra large tub. I'm pretty big and haven't fit in a US standard tub in decades, so this was a real treat. If only it was located somewhere with more nearby dining options. Or maybe if I had my own vehicle and could buy groceries more easily.

Great value for money, spacious apartment, lovely staff, safe. Being in Johannesburg city or meant we couldn’t walk much but take Uber everywhere which is very affordable. The apartment itself is really nice, nice bathroom & shower, nice towels, only thing is it doesn’t have air conditioning and wifi has a limit.

Very modern comfortable room. Fully equipped kitchen. Nice size TV less than premium channels...mid tier DSTV package. Very good wifi. Staff is very accomodating. I had one issue with neighbor who loudly disturbed the whole floor for 3 consecutive nights. They should have been evicted or police called because they ignored repeated warnings. But staff did move us to another floor. But sadly after the offenders had moved out of their own accord.
