Very bad,
Pros:

The accommodation location is not a good location. The area look like a very disadvantaged and unsafe area. When we arrived, we waited for the host to open the gate. While waiting there were young adults fighting and chasing each other with knifes, bricks and a wip. While they ran down the street neighbors ran to hit the one with carrying a brick. That already made us very uncomfortable.

When they opened the gate, the parking was very limited and behind one another, so coming in and out would be a problem. When she showed us the room, everything looked like on the image, but we were very surprised that others people was also staying in the other rooms. Meaning that we all would have our own rooms but share the living room and kitchen and so on. That was not mentioned in the listing. We had a function, so it would have meant we could not leave our stuff in the unit. The host then offered us another very small room with a toilet, but said it would cost an additional R200. The whole experience was very disturbing and unsafe. We are demanding our money back, cause all the information was not disclosed in the listing.

Cons:

For themselves, they should disclose everything to people looking for accommodation.
