I spent five weeks in Fiona’s apartment on a first-time visit to Cape Town and couldn’t be happier with the choice. Aside from being within walking distance from the key areas in the centre, the space was comfy, clean and fully equipped with working appliances and kitchen utensils. The view over the city every morning is a great start to the day.
Nearby, Labia Theatre, Publik Wine Bar and Societi restaurant are all well-worth a visit within a 10-minute walk, and the Bootlegger Coffee downstairs in the mall was a great place to work. (The wifi in the apartment was also flawless.)
Fiona herself was a dream host, advising on getting around and putting me in touch with her music-producer husband to offer advice on navigating the city as a music journalist. She also saved my life sorting out a spare set of keys on short notice when I locked myself out. Can’t recommend enough!
