Keagan was very kind and eager to help us in any way. Maboneng is definitely safe and you feel like you're in an uprising area. The apartment is as pictured - recommend it!

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

Stayed at the apartment for a week, and it was absolutely great. Keegan and Earl were great hosts - kept in touch the entire time with suggestions of places to check out around Maboneng. The location is good, 24hour security in the building, the apartment has all the amenities you would need for your stay. The only improvements would be the bed (it's quite hard), it gets really wet in the bathroom after a shower, and maybe a rail of some sort to hang clothes as living out of a suitcase on longer stays can be a nuisance. Overall, really happy with everything.

Great, small apartment that's very close to all the happenings on Fox Street. Very convenient and comfortable stay

Good value - hosts went out of there way to make our stay pleasant !

Keagan and Earl are really great hosts. I was so late to pick up the key, yet they patiently waited for me and then still showed me around the vibrant Maboneng neighborhood. Their place is trendy and neat and so close to great restaurants and bars.t boyfriend and I really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend staying right there, with these two great hosts.

Keagan and Earl's spot provided a comfortable, affordable and convenient base for us when we attended a wedding in Maboneng. We had a great weekend and the hosts were also available to answer any questions we had. Thank you Kaegan md Earl

The loft is in the perfect location for visiting Jo'burg. We appreciated its proximity to restaurants, bars, coffee shops and art. The loft was well equipped and we always felt safe having security in the building. Checking in and out was easy and the balcony was a great feature of this place.

We had a Wonderfull stay at Ade's luxurious penthouse in the heart of Jozi. It's really nice to see new improvements from our first stay. The house is fully kitted and amazing, the improvements were simply done to make the place even more homely! Thanks Ade! I highly recommend Ade's home. Thanks from the entire adidas skateboarding team! "Skate and create"

Ade was awesome from the first message. He's a wealth of information and suggestions. The penthouse was amazing. It was very clean and rooms were decorated beautifully with high quality furniture. There was tea and coffee there for us which saved a trip to the store. You must take some time while there to actually enjoy the place while visiting. His building manager Dylne is a gem. He was a gem and came our to meet us and assisted us with our luggage promptly and was available quickly each time we contacted him and stored our luggage when it was time to check out.

Was as described, clean and comfortable, Ade and Dylne were very responsive. Some may find the area a little scary, but we navigated our way around the immediate area without any altercations, even after dark. Thanks for the hospitality!

Great location to explore the Joburg CBD. The area is quite quiet at night so taking a cab to go out to restaurants etc. is a good idea. Braamfontein, Maboneng and Fox Street Precinct are just a short ride away. The apartment itself is just like advertised - a special stay for a NYC feel in exciting Jozi...

Ade's place is great. Can't wait to come back. Very spacious. Super chill. Hot tub is an awesome rooftop feature, but I can't wait to try out the firepit and braii on my next trip (it rained on my trip). Parking is fairly straightforward but entry/exit may be a bit scary for some given the tightness and steepness of the driveway leading under the building. Loved the place. Will definitely be back.

Ade checked in with us frequently, and had a great host (Dylne) available in his absence. We were greeted with fresh fruit, wine and bread.

The apartment is huge and very nicely laid out. The hot tub on the roof and the braai were really nice to use and the welcome bottle of wine and grapes and treats that were left for us made us feel at home. Unfortunately the elevator in the building is unreliable so you may need to walk up 9 flights as we had to do so other guests shold be warned about that in the description of the unit. In addition, there's no AC and the bedroom got very very hot even with fans. There were also a few dishes that had been put back but were not clean when we tried to use them (lipstick on the wine glasses). However, all in all we had a good stay.

Unbelievable! What an amazing weekend. Safe, secure and truly magnificent. Thank you Ade

Roan & Jéan make booking and arrangements very easy, check-in and checkout was smooth with a friendly doorman, and the welcome note and snacks made me feel right at home. The flat is an easy walk from the Gautrain station (the lack of pedestrian crossings adds some adventure). I felt perfectly safe walking around the immediate area at all hours and other points of interest, e.g. Rosebank, are a quick Uber way. The interesting selection of books and Netflix set up on the TV were great for unwinding after a long day at a conference. An electric blanket ensured I was snug as a bug despite cold Joburg nights and heat loss through two walls that are basically all windows. The windows and balcony let a lot of light in and the trees made for an more organic city experience. I'd definitely stay in this bright and comfy spot again.

Thanks guys! Your's is an amazing place to stay ... very conveniently situated. Your "book of clues" delivered with the best pizza we've ever eaten from 86. Clean, well located, safe and secure, and very near to main railway station. oh, and fantastic shower.

The space was lovely. The apartment was just as it appears in the photos. It is bright and vibrant and clean and comfortable. The neighborhood is young and trendy and there are plenty of places to walk to. And the hosts were kind and accommodating! I would absolutely stay there in the future.

all fine; thank you again to host also our daughter...

The place is beautiful!

An amazing loft; it's clean, has a trendy interior and everything you need. The bed is good, as well as the shower. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking. We'd recommend this place to friends and we would definitely go back!!

Roan and Jean were fantastic hosts - they answered questions in a timely manner and their place was lovely. Would highly recommend!

Great place to stay in downtown Johannesburg. Stylish and comfortable. Roan and Jéan know what guests need - and they have it all in place!!

Modern Charm is well situated in Melville close to restaurants and pubs. It offers all you need with free wifi, TV, great kitchen and bathroom. Exceptional value for money! I will be back :)

Everything was aus described. If WE had wanted to cook the kitchen would have been great, if it had been cold we would have used the great looking jacuzzi and made an open fire. Steven was very friendly and helpful. The cottage is very well located for trips to Johannesburg city or Soweto. There are restaurants and small shops nearby. Unfortunately, we couldn't get breakfast because laces were closed because of the season. Good place to stay when in Johannesburg.

Very nice place, exactly as Steven describes. We will be back.

Everything you could want from a home away from home was provided. The only thing better than the accommodation was the host Steven. Spacious, luxurious...the list goes on. Would definitely book this accommodation again.

Steven was very easy to communicate with and extremely accommodating, which made for a smooth arrival/departure. The house is in a great location in Melville, an easy walk or ride to the great cafes/shops nearby. It is also convenient to many of the other popular areas in Johannesburg. The house itself is very comfortable - all the amenities you would need/want are there, all for a reasonable price. I would certainly recommend this property to anybody that is interested!

Amazing location in a great neighborhood. Steve was a very welcoming host and the room had all the bells and whistles to make for a perfect stay! Would highly recommend

Wonderful place to stay in the heart of Melville. Everything was clean and exactly as described. The location is right around the corner from all of Melville's shops, nightlife and restaurants, but secluded enough that it's not loud or raucous. I needed a weekend away from my usual place in Joburg and this fit the bill exactly. Both Steve and Gogo were extremely friendly and helpful, and it's very easy to feel at home there. Steve was nice enough to even have me tag along to the nearby Joburg Country Club since he had the day off. I would highly recommend this place, and the price is great!

Thank you, Steve. It was a splendid stay. Inside of the cottage is well-equipped as well as comfortable hotels. No. Jacuzzi bath must be more than ordinary hotels. In the kitchen there are an fridge, a big gas cooker and a microwave for cooking by selves. But around the place, I could find so many good restaurants, according to your advices and printed guide you made. I understood why you named like this.

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.

Keagan and Earl were both extremely accommodating and personally made sure I was properly situated when I first arrived and throughout my stay. The apartment is smack dab in the middle of Maboneng, where it is vibrant and lively. I was happy to discover the apartment fills with gorgeous sunlight during the day, thus keeping the apartment warm during the chilly winter months. The apartment was super clean and equipped with fresh sheets and towels. It was a wonderful Airbnb experience!!!

Place looks exactly like the pictures and everything was exactly as described. I highly recommend!

Great spot, very central, plenty of bars/cafes/restaurants within walking distance in Maboneng and never felt unsafe. Keagan and Earl were great hosts.

Very nice room. Great location.

All I can say is AMAZING! The area was sooo funky! I ate at good restaurants (RIGHT downstairs from the apartment), I enjoyed the day partys, and live performances. There is also a theater RIGHT DOWNSTAIRS! The brothers were super helpful. I had no idea what I wanted to do when I got there, but when I told them my interests they turned my stay into the BEST vacation I ever had. I went to the Apartheid Museum, I went to a Christian church, I had fun at the Gold Reef theme park, went to a pool party, and I even partied in the country with the locals! They gave me guidence on how to move around the area.(It was quite simple). They have 25hr security all around. The taxis come right away! The neighborhood reminded me of The Village in NYC, but a smaller community. I met so many people from different countries. The area was convenient. There was a laundry place, a pharmacy, and a few markets near by. The food was OUTSTANDING! I can't wait to come back again. I need to visit the Lion Park and the jazz lounges. The brothers are good hosts. I felt at home. My 6 days felt like I was there for a month. This was a once in a lifetime experience. I am soooo happy that I was able to go to the Mother Land. I was enlightened! The brothers also kept me well informed about events and the history of the country.

YAYYYYYYYYY I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!! The listing was accurate and the place is so beautiful, it really has a lovely energy. When I arrived it was in perfect condition and my hosts were there to welcome me. The place was cleaned twice during my 7 day stay which was great as well. Keagan and Earl are absolute sweet hearts and they are so accommodating and helpful. I felt so at home and everyone that came to visit me during my stay commented on how homely the place felt. It was exactly what I needed and more. The apartment provides you with everything you need and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to stay in the trendy, vibrant heart of Joburg. The security is on point and the area has some cool places to hang out at (party spots, galleries, restaurants, unique stores), there is always something to do and new people to meet.

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.

What incredible hosts. Helen and Daryl have thought about every little nicety that makes a place feel like home. From the snacks & wine, to coal for the Braai, face wash & cotton wool pads - they have thought of everything! They also have an incredibly special dog, Eva, who made a Saturday afternoon in the pool one to remember. Thanks so much, we left feeling completely relaxed.

Helen and Darryl's flat is in a really convenient location, very clean and had everything you might need, to be comfortable - I also felt very safe there. They were extra helpful with everything I was trying to do - get visas, how to get around the city, things to see, buy a new sim card for my phone, everything! Very warm, friendly people, hope to stay in touch on my return trip. Thanks Rudolf

Helen & Darryl's place was great and they were lovely, helpful hosts. The cottage is beautifully furnished & has everything you need for a short stay.

Helen and Darryl's place is a cozy place that offers everything that we asked for. When we arrived, we were greeted by the host and found everything as described. Moreover, we found a good number of items in the fridge so that we didn't have to run out to the supermarket initially. This was especially nice as we were coming from overseas.

I had a wonderful stay at this cottage. It was really private, and cosy, and would definitely recommend others to stay here. It was clean and I was given all information upon arrival. The location is awesome! Just a short walk away from 7th street which was perfect! Thank you :-)

Helen and Darryl were awesome hosts. The space was absolutely beautiful. Great backyard to relax in. They have 2 dogs whom are extremely friendly and sweet. Walking distance to this strip of urban eats and shops. Great experience overall. I would recommend to anyone traveling.

This was my first Airbnb experience and it was such a great one. This place is a real gem in Jo'burg and Helen and Darryl are great hosts ! The cottage offers everything you need and you even find nice little extras like fruit, breakfast and a lovely bottle of wine in the fridge! It it so nice sitting in the garden, which is such a peaceful place and have good time with the lovely dogs Eva and Staples! The next time I stay in Jo'burg, I will stay there again- for sure!

The host canceled this reservation 149 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Jan apartment was very clean and spacious. Original decoration, we love it. We enjoy our stay there and even if we didn't meet the host, he did everything to make our stay easy.

As before Jan's penthouse is a gem. Views of jhb city lights, the vibe the food the everything is fantastic. Jan, a great host and always replies in good time.

Our stay at Jan's Loft was really great. It's very spacious, open and comfortable with amazing views of the city from every window. The place is also very well equipped. We had fun cooking and thoroughly enjoyed the balcony. The location is central and interesting and the building is easily accessible. However one can't really walk around the area at night, as goes for most of the inner city in Jhb. We would definitely stay here again. Great value! Thanks Jan!

Jan's place is beautiful and Maboneng really is the place to be. On top of that Jan is a great guy, super friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed the month I spent at Jan's place. Highly recommended.

Jan made check in & departure a breeze. Security was great and there's even a nice cafe next door. What an awesome loft! Two minute walk to Fox Street Maboneng with all the cool cafes & shops. The loft was well equipped & had heaters for the chill evening. Def. recommended...thanks Jan!

Jan's place is gorgeous and spacious and in one of the cool and hip neighborhoods in Joburg. We love it. Our only problem was that wifi is NOT free. You have to pay $9.99 for 1GB. If you don't need wifi, I highly recommend it.

What a lovely loft! We had a great time and everything was as described. We did not meet Jan in person but he was easy to reach via telephone. The only problem we had was with the wifi. We bought a voucher which was supposed to last 7 days but after a few hours it stopped working. Parking was just in front of the door (on the street) and a guard stood watch. The pool was not very appealing because it was part of a bar and people were always partying around it.

The loft is located in one of the hippest neighborhoods of Joburg and is surrounded by nice bars and restaurants. The loft itself is spacious and beautifully decorated and the communication with Jan couldn't be better. At first we were a bit afraid to leave our car on the street at night, but the kind 24h security guy and the police station at the other side of the road made our stay very comfortable and safe. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderfull time at this appartment and its really great as a starting point for exploring the city. Ade was not around but Dylne helped us out with everything we needed and was very friendly! If we needed something we always had a response within 15 to 30 minutes. This is really a nice place and we would advise this place to everybody that wants to visit joburg. Best regards, Bas, Tom and Geert

Excellent communication from the host. The apartment is beautiful, spacious and exactly as presented in the pictures. The lift was down while we were there, but Ade offered us prompt communication and a discount. Dylne went out of his way to be welcoming and available and helped us with our bags. Would definitely stay again!

Wonderful place! Good for three guys, plenty of space and a good jumping off point for our trip to South Africa.

We weren't able to meet Ade during our stay but Dylne was super helpful and friendly during our short stay. The apt is centrally located, gorgeous and modern. Great water pressure in the shower and a huge soaking tub and the bath towels were soft (I appreciate the little things :-) ). The surrounding area is lively and not for the faint of heart but we encountered no problems. The building is secure and there are always plenty of Ubers nearby.

The place is absolutely fantastic. Very tastefully done. Loved it. Ade is very prompt, friendly and helpful, as is Dylne (who assisted us ad Ade was not available). 10/10 would recommend. The neighborhood is not my favorite, but its a good location to uber from to the nearby attractions.

I booked Ade's listing for my wife and her friend for the first half of their holiday in South Africa. They both had nothing but great things to say about the apartment. It was extremely clean and comfortable for their stay. It was situated in a very busy part of Johanessburg where they were able to get anything they would need during the day. It's not a highly traffic area after 6p, so it isn't ideal for traveling alone at night. They had no problem with Uber picking them up and dropping them off at the door, though.

It is a large, well-furnished loft in a lively, busy district. We were only four of us and had more than enough space. Communication with both the host Ade and with Dylne, the spot takes care of everything, has worked without problems. Ade has provided us with the current event tips that have proven to be extremely good. We can very well recommend the accommodation.

My friends and I throughly enjoyed our stay in Johannesburg at Ade's place. The apartment was modern, spacious, and he Dylne and Portia were gracious hosts! There was one larger bed and two small beds in separate rooms. Great for 3 or 4 people. The rooms and linens were clean and we had no issues. I highly recommended this place to anyone staying in downtown Jo-burg.

Fantastic venue. Highly recommended.

What a great place, a real gem in Maboneng. Michael is a great host, quick to respond to queries and very helpful. Everything was as listed. Will defiantly be staying here again.

Michael was a wonderful host. His place was such a delight to be in. Comfortable, neat and absolutely beautiful.

The apartment is spacious, comfortable and has incredible views. Everything was exactly as described. Highly recommend staying here.

This place is wow. So beautiful and comfy. I would recommend it highly. The only detail was the home cinema that didn't work

Michael and Andrea were great hosts! They were very responsive and helped us out when our luggage was lost by the airport. We highly recommend their place - situated in a safe and convenient area. I would visit here again.

This is a really cool apartment. Perfectly situated in a really hip part of the city. You will be right in the center of the nightlife. The apartment is modern and well equipped, spotlessly clean with a very comfortable bed. Loved our stay here.

Amazing penthouse. Excellent value for money and perfectly located to explore vibey Maboneng.

I've stayed with Kathleen three times... need any more be said? It has gotten to the point that it feels like coming home in a way, to family, in a way.

Kathleen's place is very clean, beautiful, and convenient. The house is very close to restaurants and bars and safe at night to walk around. The bed is really comfy! We stayed one night and would recommend Kathleen's place.

Very nice neighborhood in a suburb of Johannesburg. Very close to restaurants. The room is private and comfy.

Kathleen was a very responsive host who went out of her way to make it easy for us to get to her house from the airport. She was accommodating to our travel schedule/flight times. Her home is very beautiful, comfortable, clean, and in a very nice/safe area of Johannesburg. My wife and I felt very comfortable walking around the area to go to dinner. Kathleen also provides a wonderful list of suggestions for things to do/places to eat. I would highly recommend Kathleen's room to anyone looking for a comfortable stay in Johannesburg - Be sure not to miss out on the great local cafes/restaurants! Thanks Kathleen!

I thought Kathleen and Joey were great host. I feel like my friend Yv n I brought them luck with their newborn. Haha Loved all the amenities. Lil fridge, iron, big mirror in the closet, and so much more. Also loved the garden in the back. Was quite a homely feel all and all.

I had some specials days in Kathleen space. All there seem in a perfectly harmony. The room is cozy and confortable. The pool area is a really chilling place to be, and the neighborhood is quite amazing for eating, buying and also to enjoy the nightlife. I fully recommend it :) I could never end this note without thank also Lebo, a sweet lady who helps Kathleen, and Amina, a lovely dog). I''ll never forget Johannesburg and Melville.

It was a pleasure to stay at Kathleen's place. Located near main street with all facilities you need.

Kathleen was just great and very helpful when I had queries. The place was right next to a street with lots of nice eating places, friendly and interesting

Experience was greeaat here. Unfortunately our flight was cancelled so we missed a whole day and only spent about seven hours here but seven hours WELL SPENT!! Debbie was really responsive and gave great instructions on how to get inside. The cottage is amazing and really comfortable & spacious!!!

I stayed with Debbie together with my fiancee for just one night before returning home to Switzerland, and we were delighted to discover that we had in fact checked in to a luxury cottage. We felt very very welcome from the start. You can tell that Debbie has travelled extensively herself, because she knows exactly what makes a traveller happy. The place was impeccable, perfectly clean and lavishly furnished (plenty of pillows for the bed, fresh flowers, and shampoo bottles in the bathroom). Debbie had prepared a personalized letter for us including all the relevant information (as getting around, wireless password, access to the gate). I loved the breakfast, the fridge was stocked, and everything (bread, coffee, tea, kitchen tools) was provided for, so we could enjoy our breakfast on our own schedule. She even let us stay late on checkout day, as our flight was in the evening and she had no guests that day, so we could enjoy a swim in the pool. And what really knocked it out of the ballpark for me was the score on my favorite Africa-travellers-metric: The quality of the shower head. It's an eleven out of ten. The water stream is like a river flowing right out of paradise, I felt half my age after stepping out of that shower. Thank you Debbie, it was a wonderful stay, I honestly cannot think of anything that I would have liked to have different.

Debbie was extremely hospitable, she waited until I arrived late night to let me in and show me the property. It is extremely spacious, well appointed and well equipped, as well as being in a safe and convenient location (the mall is only a short walk away). My only regret is not being able to stay longer. I highly recommend staying at this property.

Debbie's place was awesome and very comfortable! If ever back in JBerg I will most definitely be staying here again.

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.

The appartment is exactly als beautiful as the pictures on the site! Debbie and Neill are perfect hosts and make you feel at home, while at the same time giving you privacy. The neighbourhood is save and there are high end shops and restaurants in Melrose Arch at walking distance. We would hope to go back sometimes.

Debbie's cottage is picture-perfect. It's stylishly decorated and very comfortable. Debbie is a lovely host - professional, warm and considerate. :) Our stay was too short to make use of all the snacks and breakfast on offer, but we look forward to returning for some stargazing on lush lawn beside the bluest pool. FYI, that big hot shower has serious water pressure - best! I recommend this airBnB experience any day. Thanks for having us, Debbie!

Debbie's cottage is 5-star and I only have great things to say about Debbie as a host as well. The cottage is super-clean, the tv/internet worked seamlessly and it is a very short, safe walk to Melrose Arch. Being that the cottage is only one-bedroom and I was staying with a friend Debbie even offered to let one of us stay in her son's room in the main house. We declined the offer, however, and Debbie brought over very comfortable extra bedding. I would 100% stay with Debbie again!

Lea's place was perfect! Very well kept and in a great central location, 5 minutes away from great food and shopping. The staff at the front desk were extremely helpful and friendly. This is a great apartment with all the amenities right at your doorstep! Definitely will be staying here again the next time we're in Joburg.

Very nice apartment in the heart of Sandton. Great value for money.

We arrived late so it was really nice to have the doormen there to help check us in. The apartment is really nice, but with little privacy as there's only frosted glass separating toilet and clear glass separating the shower. Everything else is great and comfortable.

Nice place to stay for a short visit to Joberg. The room was clean and nicely set up. Bed was very comfortable. It would get quite bright in the morning when the sun came up, even when the curtains were drawn, doesn't bother me but if you need pitch black to sleep, might matter to you. The building it is in is safe and has a really great restaurant! Wifi worked but was on the slower side.

Very attentive host. I loved the building, especially the restaurant and the gym. The unit itself is very new and staying in it is a pleasure. The location is also very convenient!!

Lea was very prompt to help out and make me feel welcome. The space was beautiful with a great view. I would definitely recommend this place to others.

Lea was a lovely host. The apartment is gorgeous. The staff were very helpful & hospitable. Super close to sandton mall. Will definitely be back. And soon.

Great , centrally located and up market - my first alternative to a hotel

Gabriela and Amir are great hosts. Thanks for your kindness and caring. Great time we had under your roof.

The place was very modern. I work on my stuff, watch football together and play with their kid when I was at this place. It was a pleasant time overall.

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.

we had a great stay with gabriela and her friendly family. warm hospitality and room on a chilly jo'burg evening. thanks again

We had a great stay with Gabriela and would strongly recommend booking with her if you're traveling to the area. The space was clean, comfortable, and very safe. Gabriela was very accommodating and helped us find places to eat, and things to do while we were in Johannesburg.

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.

There are no words to describe how amazing staying with Gabriela, Amir And Mila at their lovely home was. The house is absolutely beautiful, modern, clean, with a great location and in a gated neighborhood. Furthermore, the house is located just minutes away from Nelson Mandela's last house in one of Johannesburg's best neighborhoods. Many people say they arrive as a guest and leave as a friend, but this underscores the way we feel about their family. They are a lovely family, nice, interesting, and kind. They took us to interact with animals with their little daughter and were always giving us advice and tips of where to go and what to do. Definitely the best airbnb experience we have had.

Staying at Gabriela's and Amir's place was such a treat. It was an Airbnb experience like no other. Their happy and warm demeanor made it an unforgettable stay and we can't thank them enough for such a wonderful time. Their place is definitely a rare find, we had everything we needed and the location was safe and beautiful. More so, they made us feel at home and catered for our every need. We fell in love with their dog, Tommy, and had such a blast. The facilities available are second to none and we will definitely be going back.

We just want to thank Matthias and Adrian for opening up their beautifully decorated home - it was like staying in your own personal spa . Matthias made us feel so welcome . Thank you for your communication throughout the weekend - we really appreciate it . Having the 'kids' ( Winston the Labrador and the two daschunds) made the house feel like a home away from home . We will definitely be back next year for the St Johns Easter Rugby festival ! Thanks so much .

Just back home, seeking for truffle...... THANK YOU and THANK YOU Adrian, for the most amazing time you gave us in Joburg. We loved your world and will come back as soon as can.

We arrived at the Acacia House approx 8pm after a flight from George. Our initial impression was very positive as the house as architectural lighting and is elegantly appointed. After a brief run through we were left to unpack. Two dogs were in the home and obviously live there as they made themselves at home on the couch. (?) There is a dog door in the iron gate so NOT having them in the house was impossible. We called Alfred, the maintenance man and he did remove them and them we locked the door. The small dog came in again anyway. We were informed that there 'could be' a water problem as there was work being done, but there was bottled water and the situation would be fixed the next day. Afetr a day of travel, it was unpleasant not being able to bathe. The owner left for the weekend. For the next 4 days we experienced: - No water. - Used the pool water to flush toilets and heat to wash dishes - Dogs were constantly with us and annoying when we tried to eat - Dogs urinated and defecated in the'entertainment' and pool area - There were cockroaches in the kitchen cupboards - Daily promises of water being fixed never happened - We went 4 days without bathing - 1 block away is a dangerous slum area - Picture here does not show the construction zone at the front of the house. - Owner told Airbnb we had a large party. We had 3 couples for dinner on Easter. A doctor & wife, a lawyer & wife, mum & dad in their 80's and us. All over 50, profesional and quiet. This has been the worst experience we have ever had. I have a client with me and it was embarrassing. The owner CLEARLY knew there was an issue, and lied to us daily keeping us there. We do have pictures and witnesses to the situation. It IS a lovely house. It truly is. But the water issues, the cockroaches, the dogs and the neighborhood made this the stay from hell.

Adrian and his staff were great hosts, and accommodated our needs. We had 2 kids, and got sick during our stay, and his staff were very helpful. The place itself is as beautiful as the pictures- you feel like you're living in the pages of an architecture and design magazine. We didn't really use the kitchen, but it would be a chef's dream. The grounds are very safe, easy access to a lot of the places we were visiting. Definitely would stay there again.

Adrian's place is a misnomer. Rather than a place, it is more of an experience! Adrian goes way beyond the duties of a mere host. He is interesting, passionate, exciting, intelligent and extremely generous. We stayed for three nights and could have stayed for more. His staff saw to it that the fireplace was burning whenever we were there (a chilly time in Jo'burg). In the afternoons, delicious herbal teas were laid-out by Edna, the lovely housekeeper. And his three dogs made the rounds in the evening (if you don't care for dogs, that can be arranged too).

Excellent! We had an amazing stay. The house is very eclectic with lots of great books & art. The kitchen was FULLY stocked with any type of cookware you would ever need and the bedrooms were large with amazingly comfortable beds. Adrian's communication was very timely and thorough. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

Just back from 10 days at Acacia House and I cannot recommend it highly enough. The house and grounds are stunning but what made the difference was having Adrian on site with the answer to any question we might have. He and his staff really went above and beyond what I would have expected without ever being intrusive. The house is in a lovely area where we were safe to walk and über taxis were easy and cheap to take us all over town for shopping, eating and socialising. Five star!!

A group of 4 of us stayed at Adrian’s home in May of 2015 and had a truly amazing experience. I’ve experienced quite a few AirBnb’s around the world from Italy to the United States, but my experience at Adrian's tops the list by far. Exquisitely designed and decorated, his home gives you with that unique Johannesburg feel (which I truly came to love) while making you feel right at home. It was really a great introduction to everything wonderful that South Africa has to offer. Adrian and his staff were also extremely accommodating, friendly and professional and made sure we had all that we needed and more during our stay (if you are lucky, you will get to taste one of Edna's cappuccinos in the morning - they are to die for!) It is rare that you receive such a high level of service with style and authenticity at such a great price. To top it all off, we were able to host an amazing braai (BBQ) with a group of friends where we took advantage of the pool, fire pit, grill and open patio. Afterwards, I took a bubble bath in the huge tub and curled up in the comfy robe that was provided. If you want a space that you will fall in love with that is close to everything in the heart of Johannesburg, stay here. You will not regret it.

The apartment is perfectly situated in the Maboneng precinct. For a quick stop over in Joburg this is perfect for me. Easy to find and great vibe. I'll be back.

Katuschka was such a great host and is now a friend of mine. Her apartment is in a very safe and artsy area. We ended up doing a 4-day road trip together and it was incredible and also great to travel with a local. We went to the Mpumalanga area and did a safari at Kruger Park, hung out with wild horses in Kaapsehoop (must-see town), and toured the Panorama route visiting waterfalls and mountaintop vistas. A very kind and fun travel mate!

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!

Accurate description of apartment. Looks just like the photo. Great artsy neighborhood. Loved it. Fantastic communication. Safe and convenient.

The studio flat is in Maboneng, a really neat, artistic area of Joburg with numerous coffee shops, restaurants and galleries just steps outside the apartment. The rest of downtown is more like a 10-15 minute walk away to the cleaner business district. The apartment is small and efficient but also artistically decorated and a good launching off point for adventures. Joburg is underrated!

Really great JHB experience.

My friend and I stayed at Katuschka's over the weekend and had an amazing time. The apartment is very clean and tidy, with all essentials needed for a comfortable stay provided. We had Kat's helper show us around and give us a tour of Jo'burg by foot for a nominal, negotiable fee - he was very lovely company to have. Apartment is very conveniently located in the heart of Maboneng. My friend and I would certainly come back.

It's a wonderful place with great amnesties and easily the best location.

My daughter and I were so happy that we opted to stay with Amanda and Wimpie. The house was spacious and clean with all the facilities one could ask for, and more. Our hosts went out of their ways to make us welcome, offering us supper on arrival, and even going so far as to ferry us around after hearing of our bad experience with a local taxi-driver. My daughter enjoyed swimming in the pool and playing with the resident ball-crazy dogs. Breakfast was lovely and we really enjoyed chatting with and getting to know Amanda and Wimpie – such lovely people. We selected the location based on its proximity to the local stadium at which my daughter was competing and the recently opened Wonderboom airport – a mere 15 minute drive. This really felt like a home from home and we would definitely return there should we be in Pretoria again in the future.

Amanda and Wimpie were wonderful hosts, who made us feel very welcome in their house. They were great to chat with, very amenable to our flexible schedule, very helpful with information and suggestions, and cooked a great couple of dinners. We left with fond memories of them, their dogs, and their home, and hope to see them again if we return to Pretoria.

Amanda and Winpie are the most pleasant host I ever met! We immediately felt at home and enjoyed a wonderful breakfast. We hope to have time to come back again and receive them in Belgium the same way they kindly received us in Pretoria!

We had an amazing time at Amanda & Wimpy's place! The green neighborhood, the beautiful garden with pool, the lovely rooms in the house.. Every morning the breakfast table was set and we just had to switch on the coffeemaker to make the start of our day :) All meals were included and we did not regret one of them. Incredible hosts, after a long day of work, Amanda and Wimpy cooked wonderful South Africa dishes for us! They even babysit one evening for us, so we could go out... with their sports car! And last but not least, all clothes were washed so we left with a clean suitcase. Highly recommended, very child friendly and AMAZING people!!!

We spent two plus two nights with Amanda and Wimpie. We were treated as family from the minute we walked into their beautiful home. They served us breakfast every morning and invited us for dinner two of the evenings. Their three dogs were adorable and added to the cozy experience. During our stay our party needed some medical and dental attention. Wimpie organized everything to perfection. Very much appreciated. Strongly recommend to stay if you like being treated as family.

Terrific Airbnb with professional couple as hosts. Nice dogs too. We enjoyed it so much we returned. Unqualified recommendation.

I spent one week at Amanda. Can ausprechen my wholehearted recommendation. Have evening still often sat together while eating and tested with your husband one or the other wine. The rooms and the whole house is in top condition and the three dogs are all consistently endearing. A true-blue super host. More can not be said now. I stayed one week at amandas place. Its in an absolutely top condition. The family and Their dogs are all lovely. I enjoyed the talks and the dinner They Offered us. Had a great time. Thank you Amanda, you are truley a super host.

Amanda and Wimpie are excellent hosts. They made me feel extremely welcome and offered a wholesome supper. The accommodation was beautifully clean, tidy and Amanda catered for all my needs. After a very peaceful night and well rested, I enjoyed a hearty breakfast. This was a very positive and enjoyable experience. What a pleasure to have met Amanda and Wimpie.

Jeanette's apartment is very stylish and well-equipped, also perfect for travelling with children (a beautiful crib and kids' dishes are there). Fantastic instructions about the house and travel, and great entertainment tips in the area are nicely collected in self-made guide that will meet you at home. Pick-n-pay, Woolworth foods and restaurant square are just next to the house. The house is also very safe as it's inside privately secured property.

You will not find a more convenient place to stay in the Fourways area. Lots of restaurants and shops on your doorstep. Safe and secure, quiet and everything you need. Highly recommended. The hostess, Jeanette, is very helpful and welcoming. Outstanding value.

Was a fun experience. Sadly I could not meet Jeanette, but she always replied to my messages swiftly with loads of information to assist me and my group with feeling as comfortable as possible.

Lovely spot great location very close the shops. Nice little garden. Jeanette is a generous host plenty of food and drink.

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.

Jeannette kept constant contact even way before I arrived at her place. The place was easier to find to her help. The area is safe & elite. Her place is much more beatiiful than what's shown on the pictures . She's got an implacable taste

Jeanette is an amazing host with great communication, lovely home her own style very evident. She makes you feel very welcome and at home and the complex is very secure. She has a guide book which is very handy when looking for things around the house

Fantastic apartment, nice ground location so it stayed cool on days even when it was very hot out. Very good location, 2 grocery stores and a lot of good restaurants within 5 minutes walking distance and very close to the casino which has a lot of cool stuff there too. Jeanette and her sister Liezl were very welcoming too and made sure that we were all set up with everything we needed and gave us some tips on stuff to check out.

The reservation was canceled 12 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Great house. Great location. Roman was incredibly welcoming, but let's you do your thing. The beds were so comfortable for those cold Joburg nights. Definitely a place for revisiting.

Roman responded to all my emails really quickly which made checking in REALLY easy. We took an uber from the airport to his place and he was at the house to meet us and even helped us with our bags (such a gentleman! haha). He gave us a friendly tour of the house (including how to use the TVs) and then returned to his house (which is right next door). The house is exactly how it looks in pictures. The beds are really comfy and the kitchen has great appliances and dishes. I would stay here again.

Roman was awesome, super friendly and warm! The place is gorgeous and huge with a great view! Everything you could possibly need and then some in one of the coolest places to kick it in Joburg, close to great restaurants and coffee shops.

Best place to stay in Joburg. But shhhh I didnt say that. And you didn't tell anyone else :)

Roman was a great host! He was friendly and communicative and helped to ensure our stay was easy and enjoyable. His house is beautiful, clean, and in a great location. It's within easy walking distance of shops and food, and cabs into the city are reasonable. Thanks for hosting us in Jozi!

We had a lovely time at Roman's and truly enjoyed sharing laughs with him. He was a wonderful host and a helpful guide. The apartment was spacious, comfortable and well kept with a peaceful vibe and nice views. We'd love to return.
