About the host and house: Since I was moving in on a weekday morning and the hosts would be working during the time, Andrew actually drove to me the night before to give me his house keys (I stayed in Observatory). I really appreciated the gesture and our first meet was very pleasant as well - Andrew told me about the house and how he just loved the place. That made me really look forward to his bnb, and when I arrived there on my own, it really was amazing and I took my time appreciating the house and making myself comfortable. Andrew also would text me throughout the day to make sure that I was doing alright. Then later that night Jessy came back, and she too was very welcoming and showed me around the house. I enjoyed my chat with her a lot. Throughout the three days, I felt super at ease with both Andrew and Jessy - almost felt like we have been roommates for awhile. They are very cool and flexible with my schedule so I felt no stress at all. Lastly, I had a long day on my last day in Bo-Kaap and they were kind enough to let me come back in the evening to take a bath and pick up my bags. I really enjoyed my stay there.

About the location: I am woman traveling alone (not to mention that I am also Asian so super obvious) so I was looking for a very safe location to access the Long Street and other popular places in Cape Town. And oh my gosh, this place is just so wonderfully situated! I was simply 3 blocks walk from Long street; people said that you should never walk alone at night in Cape Town, but I felt alright doing it there - I walked back from Mama Africa on Long Street at 9 pm. There were a lot of people and security guard in the area. I have also walked to Greenmarket Square and it was easy. A lot of good cafe nearby, too, and I have to mention that you are also 2 blocks away from the top rated bakery in town, Jason's Bakery. I literally just rolled out of my bed on Saturday morning and I was there to enjoy Jason's famous croissants in no time. This house is within Bo-Kaap so literally just by walking outside, you see all the color and beautiful houses in Bo-Kaap - no need to travel far at all.
