We had a wonderful stay at Glenda and Gavin's home. They went above and beyond as hosts, helping us with laundry, a ride to the bus station, and sharing their insights into South Africa over a glass of wine. We truly felt like we made friends thanks to our stay!

The space is lovely - a huge and very comfortable bed, two bathrooms, a kitchenette with espresso machine and other amenities, and shared outdoor space to work or relax. We had to catch up on some emails and writing during our stay, and this was the perfect "staycation" venue, with Gavin and their friends' artwork all around the studio.

The neighborhood is an upscale suburb with some great restaurants, beautiful hiking trails on the backside of Table Mountain, and convenient access to the very cheap Metro train that takes 20 minutes to downtown Cape Town and 45 minutes to Simonstown. While it would definitely be neat to stay downtown, this neighborhood turned out to be a great quiet middle-ground.

Breakfast and the lovely company are hard to beat - this was one of favorite Airbnb stays, and we heartily recommend it.
