About the host
Hosted by Ade Ashaye
We're up-cycling Johannesburg's city center, with luxury apartment renovations. Come and experience something amazing and truly unique, for a few days.
Hi, I'm Ade. Born and raised in the UK, I moved to South Africa in 2005 and fell in love with the place!
Renovating spaces is my hobby and your booking, via vrbo, helps pay for me to continue with this hobby. I've had such a positive response from the 5,000+ guests that have stayed in these apartments, over the past 5 years, that I just kept going and am just about to start my fifth project. All of my renovations are made available under the banner African Penthouses.
For my day job I work for global NGO that helps financial institutions to improve access to formal financial service for low income women. It means I travel. A lot! At least it did before Covid-19 hit :-(
So one way to get to know me would be to list 5 things I like.
Well, in no particular order (and purposely not mentioning my amazing Fiancée)....
Building and home renovation. Have loved creating unique spaces and learning from each project. The fact that these types of building's would be out of my reach, in any major city in Europe or America, makes it that bit more enjoyable.
My job. After 20 years in corporate, it feels good to building something special.
I have a real passion for music. More playing than making, though I am in the process of learning to play the piano, and was a fairly reasonable DJ in my younger days (does that count as making?). I'm slowly building up my Sonos system (Lego for adults), which is great for filling your home with sounds controlled from the iPad!
I'm a Spurs fan. (Tottenham, not San Antonio). Yes there are one or two fans outside of Tottenham.
London. The one advantage of having to travel so much for my work, was that I actually got back to London quite often :-)

Why they chose this property
Providing a different (some say more authentic )Johannesburg experience to the Northern suburbs, it is less than 10min Uber ride to Maboneng, Braamfontein, Newtown, and Joziburg lane and less than 20 mins from Nelson Mandela's house in Soweto, the Apartheid museum and many of the Art gallaries, making it perfectly located to experience the city's urban revival and access the coolest parts of Jo'burg, whilst not having to put up with the noise that goes with actually staying in these 'lively' areas.
Many don't realise that Johannesburg is also a pan-African cultural centre. The location of this apartment give much easier access to those aspects of our city. If you are looking for the Porsche/Rolex/Jimmy Choo experience of Johannesburg, you're likely to be happier in areas such as Sandton.

What makes this property unique
After a day exploring the city, or on a day safari, what better to come home to than a rooftop jacuzzi.
To be honest, it's the kind of home that you are happy not to leave.
