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

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.
