I enjoyed my stay at Emilian’s house. I stayed in a bedroom upstairs and shared a bathroom - clean, simple bedroom and didn’t have to wait for the bathroom once. There are many people staying in the house so you have to be open to sharing space. All the housemates were friendly, welcoming and respectful. Staying in the house was a great way to get some local tips about Cape Town since some of the residents have been there for a while. Highly recommended for the shared, community experience. Not recommended if you want a private, secluded getaway.
