"That deserves R2 500; in JHB, you will pay around R2.500; it doesn’t look good at all. It’s so dull."

"I’m actually looking to move from my current rental and saw this on marketplace 😂😂😂 I was like, you know what, I’m good."

Melvina said:

"I hear you, but I find this oddly aesthetically pleasing 🥹"

MalikaL gushed:

"I love these walls 😍When I bought my house I wanted exposed red brick walls only to start removing the plaster in the front room and it has grey ash bricks🙄"

BalloonGem213 added:

"Looks pretty decent to me. Has the essentials. Easy maintenance for the landlord. The problem seems to be your expectations of the price. R5500 in CT is a sweet deal."

leteshafarmer explained the apartment's finish:

"As a construction manager, it's a modern industrial finish, and it's popular in many affluent houses. The walls are sealed for easy cleaning. I did projects where I had to remove the plastic to get this effect or tiled walls with brick tiles. R5500 is a bargain 😁"

☆ joked:

"Who needs an exfoliating glove? I can rub my back against the facebrick during my shower😭😭"

Kekezwa liked the flat:

"Am I weird.. I think it's cool."
