It took me a number of days to write this review only because I was trying as hard as I could to say something that hasn't been said by previous guests at Michaels place. It is a must place to stay at when in Cape Town i kid you not....Unfortunately we did not have the opportunity to spend time with Michael and his friends nor go a hike with him. He is a true gentleman with a humble beginning. We often felt like it was our own house...walking around the neighborhood like it was like our own, taking advantage of the marvelous restaurants that are walkable...and taking advantage of the wonderful views of Table Mountain when covered by clouds....We will return...Thank you Michael!!!
