    I really like the apartment but these few issues should be taken care of.

    The cleaning was not organised when requested, again despite requesting this three weeks in advance. The internal atrium is nice but can be noise sometimes due to noise echoing in the space. Thursday, Friday and Saturday the proximity of the restaurants is nice but can be noisy. WIFI on a few of the days was very poor and therefore could not use the TV.

    The location of the apartment is excellent and is very close to shops, Restaurants, Gautrain station, uber pick up points and the apartment is very spacious for a Studio, bed is very comfy and is well equipped.

    Our toilet was broken. It was working properly, flushing and everything but the toilet was loose so it would make a very loud noise when you sit on it. The checking out process was also bad. We had to call the property to let them know that we’re checking out and they were not answering so we had to return to the room and leave the key there. Wasted our time when we made sure to check out on time.

    The apartment was clean and beautiful, had everything we needed. The staff was very friendly. It was also quiet, exactly what we needed.

    WORST COMMUNICATION OF ALL TIME! From the second I made the booking, nobody knew where the money was between propr and booking.com. At some point I thought I was scammed. The Wi-Fi died and I had to make means to be the one to constantly check with our host on the progress where at some point she stopped answering my calls.

    The Spot was clean. Loved the view.

    It's not the first time I stay at the Median, but I must say that It's becoming annoying to have the security personel almost pressurizing you for tip. I really think It's the one thing that could put your beautiful place into disrepute. You should adress that.

    Almost everything.

    The parking for the apartment is on the lowest level which can leave you quite dizzy after going round and down a lot. This is due to the building being narrow and square therefore you have to turn quickly. There’s not much that can be done about this but it’s just what I didn’t like

    The property is easy to access and yet secure. The apartment is nicely designed and comfortable especially for a short stay. The water pressure was brilliant and hot water was adequate

    The host was so disorganize, brought us the key at the barking without letting us how to use the house and main door entrance.... While the guard told us that we were supposed to be taught and be introduced to the security guard. We had to introduce ourselves and ask for them to let us in...

    The location is amazing.... And the house inside is very very comfortable.

    A lot of loud banging type noises in the building affecting this apartment on a regular intervals. Could be the piping or something, but seemed to do with the structure. Also, the WiFi wasn’t working for first 7 hours. Eventually a totally different WiFi network, with a password that wasn’t even available anywhere in the apartment was communicated to me via email. It was ridiculous. The main blind in the lounge was clearly broken. Not highlighted to me on check in. So, it literally had to stay down the entire time, including all day.

    Clean, comfortable.

    The street is sometimes very busy and there’s no parking for drop offs or Food delivery.

    Friendly security at reception, and very vigilant. The mall is just next door and it’s opposite great restaurants and Coffee shop. It’s very clean and secure.

    The arrival experience was disappointing, general quality of the furniture should be improved poor quality, missing plates, cups etc not replaced when broken from previous occupancy, broken light bulbs not replaced, the organising of the cleaning of the apartment should be improved.

    The location was very good, it is very convenient for Rosebank. The apartment is spacious enough for a couple and is well equipped for in house dining .
