Home away from home close to shopping centre

Lovely private house with private rooms centrally located along main road in sophiatown. Enough space for a family, relaxing area, secure fence around. Quiet at night and safe parking.
Since its home away from home then it means host is open for any special requests to enjoy stay. Main bedroom with queen size bed and next bedroom with double size bed. This property is closed to all amenities and very reserved. Come spend quality time with family as you experience the calmness and sweet melodies of birds every morning.

House not the same as advertised. Owners had move to a slum from what looked pleasant some time ago

Probably the worst rental accommodation in 50 years of global travel I have ever stayed in. Your non-refundable policy is entirely inappropriate consider that it was the wrong property. I stayed 3 of 8 nights. I could not take my wife there. In SA under the Consumer Protection Act you would be obliged to refund me for the 4 nights I cancelled. Your whole system if flawed and unfair. No recommendations from me to use Stayz - quite the contrary
Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2021
