Zayyaan is a great host, and her apartment is way more room than a hotel room for a long stay. It's about a 20 minute cab ride to all the beaches, but walkable to Long Street food + V & A Waterfront. It really was perfect to come back to after long days of adventure - a home-y feel vs. going back to a stuffy hotel room. My only advice is once you're phone connects to wireless internet, do all your research that you need once it does. My iphone was very spotty but my husbands samsung never had a problem. Definitely recommend!!
