Alan’s place is exactly as described- very beautiful and minimalist space in a cool building in central Cape Town, with a great view of Lion’s Head and lots of light. Easy to get a car or walk to sights nearby, though the area gets a little empty after dark as it is a downtown office area. Local tips and lovely snacks were a perfect accompaniment to the beautiful space. A final note for those visiting in the summer: there is no air conditioning in the place.
