Philipp's home is the best I have stayed in in South Africa and overseas. He is a host par excellence who has thought of every last detail on how to make his guests comfortable and feel pampered. The apartment is very stylishly decorated, with interesting art, the beds luxurious with top quality percale linen. The kitchen has brand new Miele and Bosch appliances and is a well-designed space. Philipp was a charming host who gave us good suggestions as to what to do in Cape Town. We enjoyed our "down time" at the apartment as well - there is a balcony where we could enjoy our meals outside and everything was geared towards comfort and relaxation. It is situated in an historic part of Cape Town and is close to everything you may need: banks, eateries, supermarkets, art galleries and the V&A Waterfront is a 5 minute drive away. I highly recommend Philipp's place as a base for a trip to Cape Town. We didn't want to leave and will hopefully be back soon.
