Lesley-Anne was easy to coordinate and communicate with in advance of my stay. I had to make a last minute change due to a missed flight and she was very accommodating about that.

The place is a beautiful home that is very convenient to the stores and restaurants in Observatory and right across from the train station that goes into Cape Town or down towards Muizenberg.

The one snag during my stay was that there was a power outage on the whole block on the first day/night that I was there. This is very unusual, from what I understand. Lesley and Gavin were really nice about that though and came to check it out once I notified them. They offered that I could stay in the guest room in their home instead, and provided candles so I could have light until the electricity came back on (it was fixed overnight).

When they learned I was there alone they invited me to join them for dinner, which was also very nice.

All in all it was a great stay, a beautiful place, and I would highly recommend it.
