After some initial confusion whether I had rented the shared or full apartment (there were several listings) it worked out fine. Michelle went out of her way to fix some issues with keys, crockery and a vacuum cleaner and that made a lot of difference. I chose the place based on proximity to UCT and non-capped and fast wifi, and on those criteria I was very happy. It is also close to several grocery stores, restaurants and, for me very important, a good gym, which meant I could survive in Cape Town without a car (there are too many of those already) for over a month.
