    Pretty views with generally bad customer service: More to write but Booking.Com is not allowing

    The things I didn't like is something I, unfortunately, have to write about. This is probably not a bad thing, and could be taken from many perspectives, but the luggage storage is approximately 5 km +- away, give or take which road you take. The communication from the people in contact via WhatsApp is very delayed and they do not get back to you immediately, or not at all. I had an early flight from Durban to Cape Town, and for this I had to have an extra 5 km travel being up early. Check in time was 15:00pm to 23:30pm. I received a text on WhatsApp at 15:56pm what time I will check in. I collected my luggage from the storage place in Woodstock. At the foyer of 117 on Strand, a guy named Oliver was waiting for me (my arrival and greet with him was 16:25pm - also when I looked at my watch). He was sarcastic, felt entitled to my time and was arrogant. He apologised after I had to give him lesson on how to receive customers at the foyer - I was on holiday. The apartment I stayed in was dirty. Sticky stains on the floor, table, and white stains on the couch. There was hair on the floor, and shower - washing/and dish washing machine smell damp and it was damp, and also at the area where the rubbish bin was. There wasn't basics stuff - kitchen towel, broom, etc.. I sent a video on WhatsApp looking for an explanation why the apartment wasn't customer ready. The cleaner arrived eventually but in the afternoon (following day) but I was called that the cleaner was waiting downstairs but I wasn't in the area - I had an appointment. I moved my appointment to accommodate the cleaner but when I arrived, the cleaner wasn't there. The questions that the guy asked on the call made me wonder if I was a priority because he asked when I am leaving, not asking me about morning times - people just rock up.

    The apartment was in a great location close to amenities - restaurants, pubs, bars, not too far from V&A Waterfront - There was a grocery store on the ground floor at my convenience. The wifi connection was optimum. I had a spectacular view from the 14th floor, looking over the ocean but from a far view, yet beautiful and a site of Signal Hill and Lion's Head - quite panoramic.

    It was a horrible stay mainly because of the poor service i got from the agent.

    There was always electricity cut in my room only and the agent kept on guessing what the issue could be, at some point she blamed me to say maybe i am using heater hence electricity is finished , only to find out that the room has issues. WIFI was very slow, faulty washing machine, no table cloth. It was very hard to get hold of the agent via calls and even WhatsApp.This was the worst stay i ever had

    The location and property facilities were good.

    The owners communication was abysmal, the sofa was very uncomfortable, upstairs needed another hoover and the bed sheets weren’t 100% clean. Also it was kinda strange that the toilet had privacy screen but the shower didn’t. Finally bear in mind that the toilet is right next to the bedroom, personally I didn’t use it that much as it wasn’t as well ventilated as it could have been.

    The location was great
