Clarens Studio Apartment

TshidiRating, 5 stars6 days ago

The place was extremely clean. It looks exactly the same as in the pictures . We did pay for the 9kg gas but my view is that it should be prorated as per your stay. So, if 2 different people book in 5 days , each will pay R340 for a full 9kg gas tank? I think it’s overpriced. The other thing is that the yard is dark at the back, on the side of the main gate. More lighting will be good. When you walk back from dinner it’s too dark . It was nice walking to the squares for all the necessities. I wouldn’t mind booking with Anel.
