Lovely Spacious Two bedroom apartment Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Lovely Spacious Two bedroom apartment on Austin Street, I’ll be honest — the name doesn’t do it justice. This four-star property sits in one of Johannesburg’s quieter residential pockets, and there’s something immediately calming about the whole setup. You know what struck me right away? The fact that I could actually park without circling the block for twenty minutes — they’ve got free private parking right on site, which is honestly a godsend in this city. The entrance is welcoming and well-maintained, setting a positive tone from the moment you arrive.

The Space Itself

Step inside and you’ll understand why couples are rating this place so highly (I mean, 9.2 out of 10 for location alone). The apartment genuinely feels spacious — not just “spacious for Johannesburg” but actually roomy. The two bedrooms are well-proportioned, and the main living area has this nice flow that makes you want to settle in with a cup of coffee and just breathe. The kitchen is properly equipped too, not one of those token setups where you can barely boil water. Natural light floods through the windows, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere throughout the day.

Location Perks

Austin Street turned out to be one of those addresses that locals know but tourists often miss. You’re close enough to the action without dealing with the constant noise and chaos of the city center. I found myself walking to decent cafes and shops within about ten minutes, and getting an Uber to the main attractions was never more than a fifteen-minute ride. The neighborhood has this lived-in feel — actual residents going about their daily business, which I actually prefer to those sterile hotel districts. Public transport connections are reliable and accessible from the property.

What Makes It Work

The 8.9 overall rating starts making sense once you’ve spent a night or two here. It’s not trying to be flashy or over-the-top — it’s just well thought out. The beds are comfortable (and I’m picky about mattresses), the Wi-Fi actually works reliably, and there’s enough storage space that you can properly unpack if you’re staying more than a couple of days. Small details matter, and they’ve gotten most of them right. Climate control keeps the room comfortable regardless of the season.

Why Guests Love It

Look, if you’re the type who needs a concierge and daily housekeeping, this probably isn’t your spot. But if you want a proper base in Johannesburg where you can spread out, cook the occasional meal, and feel like you’re living somewhere rather than just passing through — well, that’s exactly what this place delivers. The fact that couples keep coming back and rating it so highly tells you something about the vibe here. It’s comfortable without being boring, practical without feeling cheap, and honestly, that’s a harder balance to strike than you might think. This apartment represents genuine value for discerning travelers.

Johannesburg’s attractions showcase the perfect blend of historical significance and modern urban culture, with many featuring panoramic city views and authentic experiences overlooking the vibrant South African landscape.

Reviews of Lovely Spacious Two bedroom apartment

  • We landed up staying here for 2 weeks, and it felt very much a 'home from home'. We will be back. – Barbi from South Africa – May 29, 2025 (9/10)

    We were having medical treatment at Sunninghill hospital, which is about 1 km away, so the location was perfect for us. The apartments are quiet, and we felt safe. The apartment itself is very comfortable, and we felt very at home. The facilities were great, lovely comfortable bed and fabulous shower. The underground parking was a bonus.
    Jacqueline and Oliver are amazing hosts, kind and friendly and go out of their way to make sure your every need is met. They almost felt like family.
    It should be noted that in the ad it said this was a ground floor unit, when it is actually on the second floor. The owners do have another unit on the ground floor and I was assured it was an admin error.

  • This property is a luxury property. I felt safe and comfortable. This property was very clean. – Kimonia from United Kingdom – April 29, 2025 (10/10)

    The property look amazing and it had everything I needed. The property is very spacious, it has a washing machine, microwave, cooker, plates etc….

  • A Beautiful Stay with Exceptionally Kind Hosts – Despite Unforeseen Challenges – Natisha from South Africa – April 23, 2025 (10/10)

    We booked this cozy accommodation in the center for the Easter weekend and checked in on Good Friday, excited for a relaxing getaway. To our disappointment, there was a water outage in the area from Friday afternoon right through to our checkout on Sunday. This, of course, was entirely out of the host’s control due to a breakdown in the area.

    Despite the circumstances, Jacqueline and her husband went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable as possible. They brought water to the accommodation, checked in on us, and did everything they could to help us manage the inconvenience. Their kindness, understanding, and willingness to assist us really stood out and meant a great deal.

    The accommodation itself was beautiful – neat, cozy, and welcoming. It’s clear that a lot of care has gone into making it a lovely space for guests. The only challenge was the lack of water, but again, this wasn’t due to any fault of the hosts.

    Incredibly, Jacqueline and her husband made the generous decision to refund us for both nights – a gesture we didn’t expect but deeply appreciate. It truly shows their commitment to their guests’ comfort and satisfaction.

    We’d gladly return again, and we’re grateful for the way they handled such an unpredictable situation with such grace.

  • A great stay for my family. We will definitely be back. – Rushe from South Africa – December 18, 2024 (8/10)

    It was very spacious especially for a family stay. The facilities were working for our stay.

    What could be improved: I hope that they will include essentials like oil, dish washing liquid and soap. Other than that everything was great.

  • A home away from home – Hlengiwe from South Africa – October 3, 2024 (10/10)

    The hosts are so considerate, there was a gas heater, blanket, wifi, and very neat. Lounge is spacious, it just needs a proper dining table otherwise it's good. I like that it's 2nd floor so I got to exercise 🤩🤩🤩
