The area you pass through to get there and the process of having to wait at the gate to be acknowledged after booking cause it was at night

Just passable
Pros:

Cleanliness

Cons:

After 10PM they used to put on an alarm whereby if anyone comes out of the room after 10PM then alarm will snooze and the security guard will get the intimation and will come to the property, although this was for security and safety but was a bit too much
The shower area was small
No microwave in the room so for using it one has to go to the kitchen
No remote provided for opening and closing of main door so every time while going out and coming back, one has to ask those ladies to open the door, which was not convenient
No soundproofing in the room so all the loud noise from the street was audible in the room till late hours during night
Neighbourhood was not very nice
All in all just passable but not a good place to stay

Affordable
Pros:

The host was very welcoming and friendly
The house was clean
Each room has its own bathroom

Cons:

The location is in Westbury and not Randburg.
The house is shared with the host
If someone who is parked in front of you wants to leave the premises, you will be asked to move your car. The yard is very small so cars park in a line
Gate has no remote
Neighborhood is very dodgy. It's in a township
Once you are inside, you are not allowed to go out of your room after 10 once the alarm has been activated so not ideal for smokers
