Keagan and Earl's loft is a stylish and trendy launching pad for anyone wanting to explore Johannesburg. It's in a great neighborhood with lots of little restaurants and bars and a shot cab ride away from most of the city attractions as well as the airport. Keagan and Earl are amazing hosts and even helped me sort out some transport issues. I had an amazing time with them recommend them very highly.

The place is as advertised. there are very trendy restaurants in the area. The peace and security is guaranteed.

X The apartment was nice and clean, the balcony offers a fantastic view of the neighborhood. I have not had the chance to meet and Keagan Earl but we were in constant contact with our laptops and they gave me all the tips and tricks I needed to be safe and happy, staying alone in a city like Johannesburg. I had a great time there. The apartment was beautiful and clean, the balcony offers a fantastic view of the district. I did not-have the opportunity to meet Keagan and the Earl aim We Were in constant contact by our Mobile And They gave me all the advice and the things qui I needed to be safe and happy, remaining alone in a city as Johannesburg. I Spent a very good time in this place.

Cozy place ideally located in Maboneng!

Maboneng was an ideal and safe location for our 4-night stopover in Johannesburg. R400 taxi from OJ Tambo Airport. On Friday we visited Soweto and the Apartheid Museum. (Allow plenty of time for both) Saturday we used the excellent Red Hop on Hop off bus. (R50 Uber to Carlton Centre stop - go up for the Top of Africa view over the city).) Sunday we enjoyed the whole day in the Maboneng Precinct. (markets, street stalls, a street food festival, lots of little art galleries and designer shops, a little movie theatre, even a flashmob choir!) Monday we took the fast Gautrain up to the northern suburbs and Pretoria. Even took in some test cricket (SA v NZ) at the Super Sports Park at Centurian. On our first night (being a little wary), we ate in after buying some basics (and breakfast supplies) at a small local corner supermarket. By Friday night we felt safe enough to sample food around the precinct. The area has a good vibe. Saturday night we ate at the recommended "Che" Argentinian restaurant and Sunday we joined a fun crowd at "Pata Pata" to enjoy the food and the live music. Notes: The Artisan Lofts building has a security guard at the door and the Maboneng Precinct has security guards on most corners. The building has a lift but there are still half floors of stairs to negotiate with your luggage. There is a busy road outside and Maboneng is an entertainment precinct so expect noise. We never met the hosts but they responded quickly when we contacted them. Trendy Loft has fast internet! We enjoyed our stay very much (like most others) but the apartment does need some basic safety maintenance carried out. The wooden parquet floor needs urgent fixing as it has lifted (tripping hazard) and the bathroom floor gets very wet and slippery as the water runs out under the shower door. The popularity of the place also means that the floor mats could do with a good clean and it is probably worth upgrading the futon bed. (mattress was a bit hard and lumpy) But Keagan and Earl seem very responsive (we noticed a new heater, and there is an electric blanket on the bed - on previous reviews some had mentioned that the room was cold) so we expect they will fix any problems and like us you will also enjoy "Trendy Loft", the Maboneng Precinct and the vibrant city of Johannesburg.

Awesome little pad right in the centre of the action. Awesome balcony.

Great place and even greater hosts!!! The location is very good, close to interesting restaurants and a unique Jo'burg vibe. However, it was the hosts that made my stay phenomenal. My luggage was delayed by a day, but Earl was extremely helpful in facilitating communication with the airline. Even more, he was willing to hold a few items that I was bringing for a friend and couldn't give in person because of the delayed flight

Maboneng is such a hip neighborhood and this apartment is in the perfect location! Loved the feel of the flat and the neighborhood. So much to do in the small area around the flat- walking distance from many restaurants and art events like Market on Main/Arts on Main. There is only street parking in front of the apartment with no parking guard but the security guard for the building does sit there 24/7. Parking was an issue for us as our car was not inconspicuous and we didn't feel comfortable leaving it on the street. Earl was so helpful and arranged for us to park in a garage spot at a different building. Overall we had a fantastic time in this neighborhood and at this flat- would definitely stay here again.

Amazing place to stay just close enough to the heart and vibe of the city but also far enough to enjoy peace and tranquility. We really enjoyed our stay in this open and beautifully decorated space.

I stayed at the apartment for one night but definetelly I would stay longer. The studio is really beautiful and it has everything you will need to feel at home! I super recommend!!!

Let's say this airbnb made me want to buy an apartment in JHB. Everything was totally perfect, thought out, beautiful. Big fan. It will always be my first choice in JHB.

The place was beautifully presented, as pictured and better with lots of cool little touches. I just wish I could have stayed more than one night! Access and leaving was super simple and arrangements seamless. Would certainly stay again!

Jéan and Roan’s Studio has been hands down one of my best AirBnB-Experiences. This place is located in a vibrant young neighbourhood with a lot of nice cafés, restaurants and stores around. The studio itself has an amazing interior and you can tell that Jéan and Roan put a lot of thought in the details – we were even greeted with a bottle of wine and they checked with us inbetween to see if everything was alright. We unfortunately stayed there for one night only because we had to go back to Cape Town the next morning but if we come back to Joburg, we definitely try to book again here! I’d recommend this apartment to everyone staying in Joburg!

Communication was quick, photos are accurate, place is sunny and airy right in Braamfontein section of Johannesburg. Roan met us at check in, showed us all the ins and outs so we had no further questions. It was great for us oldies to be in a building with so many friendly students. The whole neighborhood feels that way. Park station is about 20 minute walk or 5 minutes by Uber. The apartment was furnished with everything we needed, especially nice were the cast iron pots. My husband liked the Italian espresso coffee pot. The Wifi was reasonably fast and consistent. The coin washer in basement was not functioning, but this was not a problem as hand wash dried quickly on the balcony. We recommend the City Treetop Studio and wished we could have stayed at least another week longer.

Roan and Jean are excellent hosts. They have everything laid out for your perfectly and the apartment looks exactly like the pictures. The area is nice and very convenient to restaurants, shops and bars. It was extremely easy for us to check in even though we got in town late. And the doorman/security even helped us order food since it was late and many things were closed. Overall, the place was perfect for my husband and I and it made our stay in jo'burg very simple.

The accommodation is just great! The communication is great, I could not know the host learn- for a very helpful porter :)

Keagan and Earl's place was perfect. The studio is very well decorated and had everything that we needed. It is located in a great area with some restaurants, few shops and hair salon. Keagan and Earl were very responsive to all the inquiries that we had and were very accommodating. The studio is about 15-20mins drive to the airport which was perfect for us. Would recommend this place and we would definitely love to stay here again next time we are in Jo'burg!

Best place to stay if you want to be on the coolest area of Joburg. A lot of restaurants, stores and galleries around. It's important to say that is a lot of noise, so if you want to relax be aware of that. And is not a place you can walk around alone, two blocks from Fox St is quite dangerous. But still, I loved the place and had happy days in Keagan & Earl apt. The bed, shower and wifi were amazing! And the guys are totally nice and easy to communicate.

Hoi Keagan and Earl we have a great time in Joh. Burg! And we loved the apartment ! And the Everything was clean and with 3 people was good to do! And neighborhood with nice restaurants and friendly people, thanks and many greetings frpm Marian, Marianne and Catharina

This was a really fun apartment. It is right on Main Street in Maboneng. You just have to go downstairs to have a drink or a bite to eat. Everything is just there. It's a clean space, very spacious. It has all the basics you need, like an iron, a kettle, fridge, etc. thank you Keagan for being a fabulous host. See you next time.

The little apartment is located in an industrial style, arty building right in the middle of Maboneng, a really trendy and happening area. It is nicely furnished with all basic amenities and just in front of the building you have restaurants, cafes and art galleries. The location is very attractive if you want to stay in the center of Johannesburg. Make sure you ask Keagan & Earl exactly where and how to get the keys ahead of getting there (at the security guard's window) to make your arrival easy. I enjoyed the stay, thanks Keagan & Earl.

My stay at Keagen and Earl was perfect. There is nothing I could complain about. It was clean, I had internet access and the I always felt safe there.

Keagan responded quickly and everything was totally efficient and hassle-free. The apartment was great - comfortable, clean and surprisingly warm in winter. I was up to work at POPArt Theatre and had loads of fun there and around Maboneng. The March Hare is very cool as is Lenin's. Had the best time and will be back.

The apartment was just right for me and I enjoyed being in a very special neighborhood. I never met Keagan and Earl and was sorry that I didn't get to see them. The only problem I had was that there was no way, without wifi, for me to find out what the password was. But it all worked out fine.The restaurant downstairs was very very good!

Great communication! Excellent space for me and my friends. Loved the location and proximity to shops, restaurants, and art! Thank you Jan for being a great host!

The apartment was is a great location, lots of restaurants in the neighbourhood, and the front door staff was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed standing on the balcony and watching the short rainstorm (first one in Johannesburg for several months!). Easy transportation can be arranged from the Curiocity Hostel about 4 short blocks away.

Jan's place is located in a central location in Maboneng. It was very easy to locate. There are a few neighborhood eateries nearby as well as a museum. Everything was laid out for us prior to arrival. I would recommend this place to someone looking for a central city location for 1-2 people.

Jan is a very kind and helpful person, gave good directions and gave good tips about places you might like to visit, also the restaurants he recommend were really good. The apartment has a really nice simplistic, industrial style. It offers everything you need without a lot of unnecessary stuff. The apartment has a nice view over Johannesburg in several directions. I really enjoyed my stay here, if I plan to go to Johannesburg again this is definitely an apartment which I would consider staying in.

Although we have not met in person in January was the communication smoothly. The apartment is well equipped and has a great view from the balcony. A few steps away is the artists' district with beautiful cafes and markets! The Internet, however, is about triebend expensive.

Jan is a superb host. Everything did go smoothly. The loft is superb. Great location and tastefully decorated. Very safe neighborhood and parking in front of the door.

Beautiful apartment with wonderful hosts! Clean and equipped with pretty much everything needed for a short stay. The security guards in the building were extremely helpful as well. There are a few good restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance. Not really much shopping or scenery (we missed the weekend market ) but taxi service and Uber were my BFFs to remedy that :). Overall, wonderful experience. Thanks so much for hosting us and great running into you Jan!!

Great apartment in a safe and good location within the up and coming Maboneng district where places to eat, drink, dance, chill are all within walking distance from the loft. The building itself has 24 hour security as well. Jan, as the host, is also friendly and helpful in terms of advice and recommendations. U cant go wrong with this choice!

Kathleen and Joey are ideal hosts: Warm, welcoming, and full of good information about the area, city, country. From the moment I arrived they struck the perfect balance of making me feel at home: Part of something, but with as much privacy as I wanted. This is why you choose airbnb instead of a typical guesthouse or hotel. I'd say we clicked, and spent some great time talking about our jobs, lives, thoughts about the world, even non-fiction literature (with Kathleen immediately going into her room and giving me three books to borrow-- which were perfect recommendations). What can I say... they felt like buddies from the first conversation. The room itself is in a separate, small building in the area behind their home, next to the pool. There are big windows for the space, with plants in front so you feel comfortable opening the blinds-- maintaining privacy while getting great light. The inside is clean, and decorated in a stlyle just like in the photos-- setting a hip/comfortable feeling. The small fridge is in a closet, which makes in noiseless. There's a small fold-out desk for working, and a shower with great water pressure. A nice bonus is that when the pool's water circulates it dispenses from a small opening about 15cm above the pool-- it sounds like a soothing brook rather than a pump. That, with the lush plants in the back yard area made it feel like chilling in an oasis; it was easy to forget that we are in the humming, urban, economic powerhouse of Africa. Across the pool from the room is another small building of equal size with doors that sweep open to turn it into a semi-open-air "chill out" space with a sofa and coffee table. Taken together it's really hard to describe how cute, relaxing, and comfortable the space was. Melville is a cool spot, and Kathleen's place is in a good location-- about 2 minutes by foot from the vibrant 7th Street cafes, restaurants and bars. Far enough to hear none of it; close enough to walk there for a few beers and feel secure knowing that you're not far from where there are people. The streets of Melville are adorable and green and I did some walking-- only during the day-- through the residential area and felt totally secure. I would definitely come back to Kathleen's place-- and in fact I intend to. And likewise, she and Joey are the kind of folks I'd hang out with outside of the fact that they are aribnb hosts (and we did, and again, I intend to in the future).

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kathleen's room in Johannesburg! Communication was excellent both before and during our stay. We were made to feel welcomed upon arrival. The room was spacious and very clean. Having access to a private bathroom was a definite plus! The room is set up very nicely with a tv connected to a media center so when you are relaxing you can watch various tv shows, documentaries and movies. As we were staying in Johannesburg specifically to get some rest this was a really nice benefit. The pool was very refreshing on the hot days and the books provided in the room were nice to have during poolside lounging. Additionally, there is a nice open-air area with a couch and chair to relax during the day or evenings. Restaurants, coffee shops, and shopping were only a short walk away and offered delicious and healthy food. The neighborhood felt very safe and we walked around both during the day and night. I can't speak highly enough of both our host and the flat. If we ever return to Jo'burg for an extended stay we will definitely return here.

Super cute and cozy spot in a fun neighbourhood. Would definitely stay there again!

I really enjoyed my stay in Melville, a nice area of Joburg, the house is just around the corner from some lively bars and lots of nice restaurants. The room is great, very private with everything you need and more. Comfy bed, ensuite, fridge, microwave, tea and coffee, and TV with hundreds of films. Well presented and very clean. The pool area is really nice to relax, with sun loungers and a big sofa. Joey and Kathleen were really helpful, and there is handy guide to the area with lots of cool recommendations. Would recommend.

Perfect spot for our time in Jo'burg! We were greeted warmly by Kathleen's husband, Joey. The room suited me and my husband well for our three night stay. 7th Street is right a round the corner and a most wonderful place to go out for breakfast, dinner or what so ever. We mostly used Uber to get around but also public transport is available close by. We would come back any time if we got the chance!

This room was awesome! Perfect place to stay if you want to be in a safe, yet hip area in Johannesburg. The accommodations were utter perfection and it truly made me feel at home.

Thank you again for hosting me. You will always be top of my list for J'burg - the fact you can just pop round the corner to Melville high street is a massive plus point.

Great, tranquil and safe environment, literally around the corner of most Melville cafes and shops. Perfect location for short and long stays. The room easily fits two people and provided more than we expected (iron, coffee, movies, ...). Kathleen and her husband are great hosts. We stayed for more than a week and enjoyed it throughout. Thanks, we'd not hesitate to come back.

I stayed with Debbie for five days when I initially moved to Jo'burg. The cottage is beautifully furnished and equipped with everything a guest would need. The attention to details shows the thoughtfulness and experience of the host. The cottage provides the privacy of a stand alone house while guests get to enjoy the public features such as the beautiful garden and pool. Located right across Melrose arch, close to everything. Beyond 5 star and I would recommend to anyone traveling to Johannesburg!

Debbie's cottage looked exactly as the photos. It was clean, beautiful, very spacious, and secure. Location was also really good, in a nice safe neighborhood. Debbie was nice, very accommodating, and helpful with all our questions and needs. Breakfast items were provided, which was awesome. Everything you could possibly need while away from home was available in the cottage. This place was hands down the best Airbnb I've stayed in.

It's rare to find a place that is even better in person than the pictures show online - but Debbie's accommodation was just that. My parents were in Johannesburg from the US and I wanted them to have a comfortable, safe and centrally located place to stay. We were so lucky to find this accommodation as it exceeded every expectation. The cottage is stocked with any basic necessities you might need and the pool is wonderful. The location is excellent as Melrose Arch is within walking distance with restaurants, shopping and a gym. Debbie and her family are wonderful hosts and my parents will certainly be back next time they're in the country!

Absolutely flawless. One of the best airbnb stays i've ever had. Place is spotless, very short and pleasant walk from melrose Arch. Debbie was away on holiday while I stayed there, but her son Kade was around to welcome us and guide us through anything. Would definately stay here again and recommend it for anyone visiting Johannesburg.

Wow! Words sometimes just can't quite convey how splendid a place can be - and this apartment is one of those. The Cottage is a fabulously designed unit sharing the back gardens of Debbie and Niel's home. The living area is spacious with lots of comfortable seating. A desk was perfect to set up electronics and leave them there - the wifi signal is strong and supported mutliple devices without a hitch. Clothes washer and pool are bonuses. The property is well secured and walking to Melrose Arch is a comfortable and easy 5 mins away - where you can get anything from groceries, banking, tech support, shopping of any kind. The thoughtful little touches further set this experience apart. This is the only AirBnB we experienced in SA that had electrical converters available, bacon along with eggs in the fridge, a yoga mat to borrow, and on. A very special place, made even more so by the kindness and care Debbie afforded us. My best advice? Stay as long as you can!

Perfect place close to shops and restaurants...and easy to find and get to. Great apartment with everything you could want. Really enjoyed out stay.

Debbie has created a beautiful and very welcoming cottage! The location is ideal (literally 2mins walk from Melrose Arch) and close to Sandton. The cottage has everything you can think of including a lovely array of complimentary breakfast items, and is tastefully modern and comfortable to stay in. We will certainly be back and will recommend staying here to all close friends. Phenomenal value.

Debbie was an excellent hostess. She welcomed us personally into her home and made us feel at home in a very short space of time. My Fiancee and I are very private people and she understood this without having to be told. She gave us enough privacy to enjoy our vacation while still being available when we needed her; a very hard balance to maintain. The cottage was amazing. It was clean, airy and spacious as well as very well maintained. When we walked in, the backyard was very tranquil; it felt like we had stepped out of the mad rush that is Johannesburg into a fairy tale setting. My Fiancee especially loved the pool, she spent countless hours getting her tan on!The facilities were more than adequate, we had everything we needed to be comfortable. We cannot thank Debbie enough for this brief hiatus from our busy lives; it was "exactly what the Doctor ordered!"

Great hosts, clean cute apartment and close to melrose arch. We were made to feel very welcome and at home. Would certainly recommend.

My time at Gabriela's place was absolutely perfect! You are getting great value to your money, the location is the best, the house is modren, beautiful and very clean, the room is perfect and have a nice balcony. And the most important Gabriela is a lovely host that will make your stay pleasant and will make you feel at home. We became friends and I will be back when I am in johannesburg again.

Fantastic experience and perfect host, Gabriella is very relaxed and welcoming. I asked her if she had a fan in the room, without hesitation she went and bought one to ensure that I as the guest was comfortable. The whole home was Clean and as described. I will definitely be back on my next trip to JNB.

Me and my brother stayed at Gabys and Amirs house for 5 nights and it was a pleasure! We had everything we needed. We could come and go whenever we wanted to and were free to use the pool as well. All the recommendations for places and restaurants were exquisite and the wifi was good enough for (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN). The room and the seperate bathroom were clean and spacious. With Uber Taxis you can get everywhere very easily. The hosts Gaby and Amir were very nice and offered us help whenever we would need it. We highly recommend this stay to anybody! Would definitely come again!

Gabriale And Amir are very nice And friendly people. Their daughter is cute, And as well as the dog!We enjoyed the hospitality very much!

Absolutely loved our stay at Gabriela's place. Her, Amir, her lovely daughter Mila and their adorable dog Tommy made us feel so welcome, showed us around and we went out for a meal with them on our final night. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to anyone, and will be staying here again if/when we return to Jo'burg.

Great clean room. The family is really nice and they live in a nice and safe area. Melrose Arch in 5min car distance.

The house is as described. We had a room with private bathroom. Amir, Gabriela and Mila looked after us very well. More than expected . The area is very safe, but not alive, because only wealthy people live in very nice but closed houses. If you want to party or want to experience the real South African life one is there not right. For us it was nice. We have come anywhere without problems, thanks to Uber.

Katuschka was a excellent host (she even sent messages to check whether I was enjoying my stay and to advise on entertainment in the area). I really enjoyed my stay. The room is comfortable and looks exactly as advertised. I will definitely stay here again.

A very nice place to stay in, right in the CBD. Very convenient to get to museum, sightseeings and venues. Great food around the area. Katuschka was very friendly to us and gave some good recommendations about where to go for a coffee/food. We had very good time here.

The place was great and conveniently located.

Cute, clean, great,location, goodenergy, all the right touches and great vibe. Katuschka was very helpful and accessible.

Nice and helpful host,these days I got some problem in Johannesburg ,I lost my key and passport,Kat she helped me and took me to the police station,It is really warm to me.

Very friendly and efficient host. Perfectly situated in the heart of Maboneng which enabled us to feel the true spirit of this incredible area. Lovely comfortable place, definitely a home away from home!

Our stay in this lovely apartment was the perfect end to our trip. Katuschka was a wonderful hostess - extremely responsive and understanding - especially when we made our bookings at the last minute, arrived extremely late into the night, and even had a dog with us on our first night. She made us feel right at home and was always available if we had any questions/issues. The apartment space matched perfectly to Maboneng's lively and trendy vibe, and we felt extremely secure. Security at the building and within the area was extremely tight - street parking was not a problem. So many fun things to do and see (and eat), particularly on weekends, in Maboneng - and Braamfontein is only around the corner. We had an amazing time and we're certain that you will too.

The apartment is just as described and the area is supertrendy and safe- you can even have vegan food here without problems. I can recommend this place!

Jeanette apartment is a lovely safe upmarket home. Jeanette made us feel quite at home. Her apartment is as lovely as you can see in the pics. It really was more like staying at a friends home than just a room. Including all amenities.

Jeanette's place is modern, clean and very comfortable. Even though she was out of town at the time of arrival everything went very smoothly and as described. When we had questions she responded to our texts extremely promptly and took action right away. The complex is very safe and convenient to shops.

Nice place. We were 2 adults and 2 children. Enjoyed the pool and tennis courts. The host answered all queries very quickly.

Great place, easy check in, friendly and very helpful host. Close the shopping centers, and nice and private. Only thing that could have been better was the WiFi, considering the issue with mobile reception. Other than that, loved our stay.

Jeanette's place was fantastic. Easy to find, secure and as cosy as she promises. I loved her design ethic! Felt at home immediately.

We spent 1 night in Jeanette's apartment and it was perfect! The apartment was beautifully furnished and had everything we needed. Jeanette makes you feel right at home, even down to the rusks and marshmallows! Also, the location was central which made it very convenient for us.

We loved loved this flat! The decor the amenities of the flat and the complex. Jeanette went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable, the complex has lovely quiet ambiance and great security! I cannot recommend this host and flat enough!

Staying here was a great last few days of our trip. It can be used as a great base to travel around and is sittuated in a great area. There are fantastic restaurants walking distance from the appartment. The appartment is also very nicely decorated. Jeanette is a fantastic host and even left us a basic breakfast. Would definitely reccomend it.
