Unit B. - No. 1 Dicks Street Apartments, Howick

Pretty crummy place. Incredible that it has such good average ratings. Positive: Nice aesthetic Negative: The Headboard was super dusty and got our noses blocked immediately - had to remove it to the lounge to be able to sleep. The bedroom ceiling was a bit moldy and clearly previously water damaged. My son has a mold allergy and so this affected his health. The place was very cold with only one small exposed element heater that also felt a bit dangerous. Added to that the back door was poorly sealed letting cold in. The facilities were not great, e.g. the iron leaks all the water out so was not really usable; the dustbin could not shut. The shower drained slowly so it dams up while showering. And then there was an electric current in the shower taps which was really concerning for safety both there and for the electrics of the whole unit.

All good. Positive: Cute and tastefully decorated. Good Location. Has everything you need. Negative: In winter .... an aircon with heating function or fireplace would be great as the apartment was insanely cold. That's the only area for improvement I would say.

Absolutely beautiful and the biscuits and tea, although we did not use any of it was much appreciated 🙏🏾 Positive: Everything was as advertised and very clean. We loved our stay. Negative: Random cats roaming around the yard.

Positive: Quiet and comfortable. Nicely furnished with a pretty little garden and stoep. Practical pre-Comrades overnight location if you're doing the down run. Negative: Was quite pricey, but this was probably because it was Comrades weekend.

Clean, comfortable and easy to access. Positive: Location and price Negative: Heating-heater was too small for the size of the lounge area.
