Convenient but in a somewhat lively part of Sandton
Pros:

I booked the 1-bed apartment and found it to be a great room with crisp clean linen and lots of space. Breakfast was also very nice. It is very convenient for central Sandton.

Cons:

The heating controls placed low down were not user fruendly otherwise there was nothing wrong with the room itself. However, I had the misfortune to be subjected to very loud music non-stop from the LXX centre diagonally across the road from about 7pm right through to 1:15 am which prevented sleep. Apparently, this can be expected on weekends, but I guess this was a full dress rehearsal as I was there on a Thursday night.
