An all around awesome experience - both the apartment and the host, Adrian, were great.
This isn't a typical apartment. It has epic views of Green Point and the bay. The living area's open floor plan is nice and makes amenities like the kitchen easy to use. The back patio is an idyllic setting with a refreshing pool. It's clear much work went into planning the succulent garden, which frames two of the backyard's walls.
Adrian invited me to join him for a drink when he had friends over, which was a nice way for me to get acclimated to Cape Town. He is really friendly and helpful, more like a flatmate than an arms-length host. At the same time, he was respectful of boundaries and "my" corners of the apartment.
This place is a gem, and is a big part of my memory of Cape Town!
