My Husband and I recently holidayed in Cape Town with our 9 month old baby girl. It was our first proper holiday with her away from home so I was... read more worried about how things will be but I was pleasantly surprised at how it all turned out. I booked with Star Apartments as it came highly recommended by many people when I was looking for accommodation. I'm happy to say that I was absolutely amazed by the place! It was neat, absolutely clean, and very smart with modern finishes. It's the perfect play to stay as it's centrally located so it's close to everything. Uncle Hashim who handed us the keys was a very pleasant and friendly man who gave us all the info we needed for our stay. Aunty Ayesha (I think she's the owner) was also really lovely and allowed us to check out late on the day that we left as our flight was only at 5.30pm. We were allowed to check out at 2pm as there was no one checking into our apartment that day.
The apartment has everything you need on a holiday plus more! There was an iron, ironing board, vaccuum cleaner, a clean sponge and dishwashing liquid, a dishwasher and washing machine with all the relevant detergents. Appliances were new and modern and everything in the apartment was in excellent condition. We requested a cot for our baby and we got a really nice, clean cot with a baby duvet to sleep with. We had a King size bed which was very comfy.
The bathroom was very clean. The apartment is lovely and spacious and is the perfect self catering place for a family to stay. I can't recommend this place enough... If I could give it 6 stars I would! The price was extremely reasonable as well making it the perfect accommodation. I'll definitely be booking with them again! Found my new Cape Town go-to accommodation.

Firstly Booking.com needs to improve their rating checks.This is a 3 star property at best, if not less. 1. The view from the unit was nothing like the advertisement... read more probably because we got a back unit, although the night lights were lovely. 2. The alarm system instructions were badly written, so the alarm went off one day. 3. The prepaid electricity was insufficient to charge more than one item at a time so we couldn't charge our mobile phones and leaving us with no hot water for showers on our last day. 4. The manhole timber surround fell, almost hitting one of our group on the head. It took several hours with two ill-equipped men to nail it back, with a ladder left in the hallway for several hours.The men used a hacksaw to cut timber, a spanner to knock in a few nails, etc.Needless to say a 5 minute repair job took almost 2 hours. 5. The towel rail in one bathroom, which was so small that 2 people could not use it at the same time, fell as it was simply glued with what seemed to be some sort of putty. Again two maintenance men arrived, spent almost 2 hours drilling the concrete wall (the noise was unbearable) then left without fixing the towel rail as they didn't have the wall plugs to affix the screws so this job was left incomplete after 2 hours. 6.

6. The tiles above the kitchen door were falling off, so we had to submit to a further maintenance disturbance during our short stay. I'll let the photo of this repair speak for itself, but again a haphazard fix!
7. The stickers were still on the shower frame...another small inattention to detail here.
8. Cleaning staff talking, singing & laughing loudly early mornings whilst we were still asleep.
9. We couldn't initially contact the maintenance staff as the number provided was incorrect as the chap had lost his phone and the new number not amended on the list provided to us.
All the above did not appear to bother the owner who finally turned up at one stage but didn't apologise for the many inconveniences, let alone offer any compensation.
Luckily we were able to use two car spaces as these car spaces were much too small to accommodate more cars. More

Overall a great stay and would recommend to others.
