We stayed here for 4 nights, 3 nights when we arrived in South Africa and the last night after we finished our Kruger safari. Ian is a wonderful host who will help you with absolutely anything (seriously, try it out). The hostel itself is in a quiet and safe area of Johannesburg, with restaurants and shops in walking distance. The included breakfast is like in every hostel, except that Ian bakes muffins for you. At least that's what he did while we stayed here, I don't know it it's his all year routine so please don't get mad if there are none! You will feel at home and welcome here. If I had to pick out a single thing that was negative: the showers are quite weak on pressure. No biggie though. Book the birches!
