    It was a little bit cold because we were staying in cold times, but electrical blankets fixed the problem and added to the comfort.

    The staff was amazing, so nice and kind. Also, the rooms and the common space were comfy, we liked it a lot. There was a security booth outside the guesthouse, so we felt safe and sound. Definitely worth the price.

    A very neat and lovely Airbnb apartment equipped with everything you need. A good bed and a nice bathroom. I came in from quite a late flight and received a warm welcome from the great host, who was always available when I need them. They were extremely kind and courteous with a willingness to share all they know about the area. I had a great stay! The communication prior and during the stay was super easy and quick and the place looks exactly like it does in the pictures. The neighbourhood is very conveniently located in a quiet, residential neighbourhood. I Would absolutely recommend staying there

    Very little to say here, but minor changes to make it even better: A full length mirror in bedroom. Cafetière fresh coffee at breakfast.

    Well located and attractive property in lovely residential street. But the bonus of this place is the host Zanele; she's divine. From the moment she welcomed me on arrival set the comfortable tone for this place. The house is beautiful and and main reception area very stylish with Honesty Bar. It's like staying with a very sophisticated friend/relative with a comfortable/chic homey feel. The rooms are perfectly clean and spacious with a terrace. the room's fridge has a cool bottle of water and yummy chocolate chip biscuits, [cookies for the US reader], - a nice welcome after travelling. I totally loved being there, felt safe and just so warm and welcoming a place to return to each evening. Breakfast was fabulous and prepared freshly to order by the wonderful and graceful Host, Zanele. The one down side at breakfast is the coffee machine which is odd as the place is so sophisticated in all other ways.

    The house itself is warm but I felt a bit cold in my room. The wall heater is not so effective in my view. I get the energy management issue but for a person who drinks a lot of tea/coffee it does get too much to have to leave the comfort of my room to go get hot water

    I have become a regular at this place. The staff is wonderful, ever so helpful. Great location. Beautiful property. The lighting in the rooms is much better- I usually stay here the night before exam/ lecturer.

    Understandably due to load shedding, the electric blankets and wall heaters had to be off. I was very cold on some of the nights.

    The space was just beautiful. Behind the gate, it felt like I had entered another world. The lounge space was so homely and tastefully decorated, it was warm and welcoming. The fireplace and heater added a special touch in one of the coldest weeks. The smell of baking really made it feel like a home away from home. The room was well equipped and was spacious. It was at the back giving me privacy but not isolated. I have found my go to place in Johannesburg.

    Our room was a bit small; It's fine, but cozy for two.

    The rooms are clean and cozy, bathrooms very nice as well. It's a small property, fewer than ten rooms and you feel like you're in a home...well, you are, but it's been renovated. Each room has access to an outdoor patio and there is a shared lobby/living room space as well with books and a small bar. Great breakfast and a lovely staff in a nice part of town, w/in 10 min walk to Rosebank mall and local shops.
