I loved the video but I’m on the fence too. I want to see more options. The kitchen was cool but the deposit was a NO. The bedroom was too small. The building itself was wonderful and quiet.
Greetings Juian! I am a 63 yo FAN...yes honey & I have been following you since you were living in Mexico. I enjoy every one of your broadcasts. You are such a lovely person, great attitude and having fun living. Please keep looking for an apt. - your heart was not in this one!
Best thing to do in Cape Town.. From my experience.. speak to the security guards in buildings.. they usually know a lot.. like ask them if there’s someone renting out a unit etc x
It’ was so nice meeting you @Chicken licken (cape town / Addely street ) today . Such an amazing person , love your vibe . Can’t forget how we struggled taking a picture because of lighting and hight issues 😂😂… Absolutely love your videos ❤️
I’m so sorry that pictures does not deserve the internet 😂. Hope one day when I walk pass you again I’ll be glammed up and boom perfect lighting . Stay blessed ✨
Hey babes...I don't know why your notification are not ringing through but popped up once I logged in...I'm mad. I love you so much my beloved. I feel like you're my little brother so when I see your videos they make me happy.
Cape Town rent is the highest in South Africa. You need too be making very high salaries to afford rents, especially in certain areas like the City Bowl, Green Point and Sea Point. Possibly look at areas like Woodstock or Observatory, still close to the city yet more affordable. Love you videos. Making me miss Cape Town.
For the price I would suggest you take it. You can always get a big rug to cover the carpet. and then you can look for what you really want knowing you are not paying too much where you live so you won't be pressured to rush your decision
I love how friendly you are! Beautiful energy 🦋✨ I liked the dark accents in the kitchen. Not a lot of sunlight tho :/ I find it so interesting these apartment come fully furnished!
Hey julian ,Keep it as back up but keep looking until you get something in a great area with all the amenities(Clean Modern Bathroom and Clean modern kitted Kitchen) that you need and the right price.
Just be warned of the noise from the drummers and dancers downstairs on Saturday mornings. It's hectic! It's a lovely location but for me it was very depressing living in a dark apartment with no terrace.
From RealSouthAfrica with the Blantons to Unapologetic Nomads with Ala Micki and her husband in Jhb to Julian Albino in Cape Town, Lately African Americans are making their mark in Africa. So no one is gonna say anything about Cape Town being clean,calm and quiet?
I live in Cape Town. Cape Town is very much a segregated city. The white governers of Cape Town have kept it that way on purpose. It's cleaner and quiet where the wealthy white folks reside and the popular tourist spots, because the city ensures that. Black neighborhoods have been left to rot. To give you an example, the black parts of the city flooded a few days ago, because the city does not care that the drainage system is maintained in these communities. It's not their priority.
Keep looking you might have to find something outside of Cape Town. Since so many people want to live there it might be hard to find the perfect luxury apartment within your price range.
R14,500 rands? its a swedish price = around 8500 swedish kr, so South Africa is not cheap anymore. Probably better to buy, its cute little apartment. Im not sure if I would take it because its small and not much free space. Thank you for taking us along.
I saw comment which I like. If it is 70 % of your wants and 100% of need then move forward. You can put down strategic rugs to cover carpet. You need to reduce costs ASAP and get a better feel of CT.
I would go with furnished if possible but would make sure I get seal bedding just in case plus do a complete wall and ceiling cleaning with deep carpet cleaning. I would burn sage to get out any negative spiritual energy. I would do this any place I would permanently move to.
It's just okay frien. I think you should keep looking around. You like the finer things in life and that ain't it! You didn't leave the U.S. to settle. That carpet was disgusting, the natural light was a bust and that shower floor was grotesque. Absolutely not! You would cringe putting your feet on that tile and deep down you know it. Anywho, I never comment but I had to. Love your channel and have been watching your journey since the beginning. 🤎🥰 You've definitely inspired a lot of Americans to visit SA bc of your vlogs. 🤎🤎🤎
You might want to check out Bloubergstrand. About 14 Klicks North of downtown. We stayed there the last time we were in Capet Town. Real nice up there and I think there is public transportation.
R15000 for a studio apartment ? 🙄😧 I paid that for a three bedroom triple story with: game's room, pool, jacuzzi, home office and maid's quarters. in JHB. They are ripping you off!
If a place has 70% of what you want and 100% of what you need then you should get it. Two months deposits is not bad , you are spending that in a place that you are not happy living in.
Nice place Julian.price point security sounds great. While looking try to look at 2 or 3 in 1 day. You know they always want an answer by the day of or next...RUSH 😌 good luck.
Please look at sea point and Greenpoint....I viewed some nice apartments in that area.Good luck finding a place.I had a issue also with the 2months deposit.
Thats very good for the price its cape town not joburg most people who commented on last video are probably from joburg because I was one of the few who said for the price point and area its decent ,the rest of sa don't understand cpt market unless you from cpt.I say take it for that price.cpt housing market is overinflated compared to rest of sa.
Hi Julian, I am curious about something 😅 I seem to remember some time ago you said that you don’t cook, but I noticed that twice during this viewing you mentioned the importance of the kitchen for you. Please don’t think I am knocking that, one of the most important things for me is ALWAYS the kitchen. Like you, I left home as a “non-cook” but, after living in the UK for a while and craving some of the food my mom used to make, she was Jamaican/American, I started dabbling in the kitchen and because of my formulation science career, I quickly became quite good at cooking. Anyway, what I am curious about is, so, have you now started dabbling in the kitchen and have you learned how to cook ? Don’t “settle for a place” that is not really what you want. Perhaps you could try to find an interim Airbnb or short term apartment which hopefully might be cheaper than your current situation, while you continue your search. As always, I wish you all the best. 💕
I still haven’t turned on a stove in over a year, and still can’t cook 😂 but I like to host friends and the kitchen is typically the common gathering spot.
Did you find a place? I was told by a local to never trust by paying a security deposit. ? I'll look a couple more weeks but then I must buy a flight onward if nothing good happens.
Reasonable price, I didn't like the carpet either.the bathroom was nice also they should clean a place before showing it.Honestly if you are anxious to get out of hotel and the cons are not to bad go for it and you can still keep looking.Best wishes for a place you can be happy
The apartment is too small for me. Plus, I have a lot of clothes and shoes. That is what I have noticed about apartment in various countries. It’s like that have the same clothes that last them for 2 weeks.
Get disposable masks, they're less environmentally friendly but you can comfortably breathe through them. You can tell you get out of breath in the cloth ones.
If they can replace the carpet take the apartment. The bathroom is not so nice either but you are not there to live forever. You can get cheaper places but then you will have to pay a lot of money in uber to get in and out. Or you will have to take them white minibuses with the crazy drivers.
I feel like its too small even if its just you, I feel like a place you choose to stay you should feel comfortable and nothing about that first one looked comforting. Keep looking🤭
Give this Video a Thumbs Up if I should rent this??
Rent it.... is it a contract or month to month?
3 / 6 / 12 month lease options
I loved the video but I’m on the fence too. I want to see more options. The kitchen was cool but the deposit was a NO. The bedroom was too small. The building itself was wonderful and quiet.
True. I also didn’t like that there was no window in the bedroom
@@JulianAlbino Lease it for 3 months and see if you like it. Looks comfortable. Looks like my taste. Upscale & clean. What you think‽
I was born in SA and moved to Canada… it’s been 15 years and I’m still very much attached to home! These videos make me so happy!
Yea fax bc there's no place in the world like it and I've been to alot of places and lived in alot of them
Cape Town rent is probably the highest in the country
Very true, I live in Cape town and it's expensive
Its super crazy :-(
In Joburg you get 2 room apartment in fourways for 5k Rands

So much positivity in this comment, it made my day too

good idea!
I love how comfortable you look in Cape Town! I’m in the UK now.. and I miss Cape Town like crazy! Thank you for being consistent ❤️❤️
And he fits right in with his beautiful personality
It’ was so nice meeting you @Chicken licken (cape town / Addely street ) today . Such an amazing person , love your vibe . Can’t forget how we struggled taking a picture because of lighting and hight issues 😂😂…

soooo nice meeting you today! 😂 the struggle was real for good lighting 😂
I’m so sorry that pictures does not deserve the internet 😂. Hope one day when I walk pass you again I’ll be glammed up and boom perfect lighting .
Stay blessed ✨
Hey Julian. I think you should check out apartments in Woodstock. There are modern apartments and the rent is reasonable.
my area
I hear Gympie street rocks.
That place transformed so much, I couldn't recognise anything the last time I was there. It looks super Hipster now.
Broaden your search area to outside of the cbd itself and youll see how prices drop
So true the price drops and crime rises
What are the closest to CBD but outside.
Woodstock and Observatory
That British accent when you said..."can I look at the bedroom"😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂 you caught that
Definitely caught that also 😂😂.
Good luck with your apartment hunting
I do it also sometimes 🤣🤣🤣
I cought that 😂
The guy responded with a British accent too lmao….”certainly”
Personally I’d go with a black realtor, especially in Cape Town as a black person
Any suggestions? I'm in the USA
Right on! Find a black or coloured realtor.
Julian you’re famous in Cape Town my beautiful son. Praying you find what you’re looking for.

Yeah Cape town is expensive he should try wynberg
It's a no for me.. We go crazy seeing you. I met you in Sandton and I felt soo awesome. You are such a vibe..
😍😍😍

That carpet looked dirty too😬
I liked it, but that boo boo brown carpet was yucky... keep lookin, you got til Tuesday. Keep'n it 💯 Bruh.
I think you should get a long term Airbnb while you still looking for an Apartment ..I miss my hometown :)
You are making my choice to go to Cape Town for my 40th exciting
I hate brown/green carpets in my house......they are a no no. Brighter makes my day.
Yesss! So glad too see you! You’re looking fabulous.💜
The carpet looks a little funky, but it's a nice and secure place at a good price! Hesitation means you should not do it!
You are one cool individual who deserves all the happiness in the world 😍❤🇿🇦
You might want to check out Bloubergstrand. About 14 Klicks North of downtown. We stayed there the last time we were in Capet Town. Real nice up there and I think there is public transportation.
Thank you! I will check it out
I love the video👌❤️, but not the apartment.Please do try property 24, you'll find tons of apartments there that suit any budget.
Not for you!! Keep looking! I know you will find something better 😌
Keep looking you will get something nice...
That apartment is not for you. I would say keep looking. There’s plenty of rentals in Cape Town.
That’s a nice apartment. I think you should give it a try!
Darn y'all are being ripped off in Cape Town 😕

I'm from Cape town and the cost of living here seems much more expensive
@@GameOn71213 yes it is i left 3 years ago and compared with the rest of sa its more expensive.
The background looks familiar to Miami
It’s really nice! Go for it!
In Johannesburg a place like that is like R6000
keep looking and take your time
The shower floor and carpet not okay. I did not feel it Julian 🥰🥰
you are glowing in Cape Town x
I loved the building.
I really like this place for you
Beautiful apartment, your video so clear. What camera are you using to do your video?
iPhone 11. I always make sure my camera lens is clean
@@JulianAlbino thanks 😊, I love how clear videos are.
Keep looking. smh I'm from the U.S. Why are they allowed to randomly increase the rent monthly?? Smh I don't like that.
Keep looking away from the CBD, I stay in Blouberg it quite cool
Great Job

What was the price I didn't hear
You should come to Johannesburg- Hallmark House is a beautiful space to live in. You’d love it.
The apartment is too small for me. Plus, I have a lot of clothes and shoes. That is what I have noticed about apartment in various countries. It’s like that have the same clothes that last them for 2 weeks.
If you still got time, keep looking.
Get disposable masks, they're less environmentally friendly but you can comfortably breathe through them. You can tell you get out of breath in the cloth ones.
It's nice but not the best though

Thinking about becoming a digital nomad , could you estimate an average amount for rent at somewhere nice like this ?
Cape town is Really
expensive keep searching
Keep looking, it was too small for long term comfort
Dropping by! 🖤
🤎
First one here !!! 🥺🥺❤️❤️
The carpet and shower floor made it a no for me.
they were both brown lol big no
Cape Town is known for two months in advance deposit. Eisj. Issa lot
Ya, it's pretty standard
I think keep looking.
Planning on going to cpt this coming month …can you recommend some of the great places I could go to ?
Have you looked at Waterfront Portsedge apartments?
Keep looking bro
Oh can't believe u were in my block lol
I will urge u to take how much is it
Keep looking
😭🤣😂😅🤣😂😊Julian🥲🤣😂😅 gurrrl stop!!! In South Africa 6 months and changing your accent!!! “Can I look in the bedroom” 😅😂🤣! So funny
😂😂😂😂
Don't like it, that shower looks questionable and that bedroom is 🤮. Rather go to an Airbnb and keep looking.
I totally agreed
Tablevıew beach front go have a look🌺🌺🌺Who don't want to wake up to the sea breeze??good luck with the hunting
Take this one Julian
I love it.....I want it for myself lol
Hey Julian,I think the apartment is too pricey.Please keep looking for a cheaper place or move back to Johannesburg where rents are reasonable.
I will keep looking
Take it....prices are going high
Are you able to rent if you’re not a resident?!
We love you here sweetie
Dang R14500 per month 😳😳😳😳 That's 3 months rent for me.
Sadly, that's still cheaper than my rent in Texas. 😖
It’s a no for me after seeing the shower 🚿 floor
50k subs run it up bro
I miss Cape Town....
Does it have a window in the bedroom
Air BNB while you're here, don't rent. You'll get utilities and WiFi included.
Not liking this at all. It seems for an older person, not your style in my opinion.
If you can make it in Cape Town you can make it any where
This reminds me a lot of an Albanian apartment
