I can strongly recommend this host and this apartment! Not only because the swift communication saved our skin (we were last minute because of a cancellation), but also because the apartment was fantastic and way above our expectations. For example: the ap is small but well planned, and has huge windows with a great view of the Table Mountain. My wife, who understands interior design, was especially thrilled with the taste of the host and the effort put down to make the ap beautiful. Just around the corner are streets with local life, warm atmosphere and old buildings, with a lot of good restaurants (we stayed in another ap in this area before, but the streets around that place was not as welcoming). Several good hikes are just 10 minutes away by car, you could even walk there. Finally, there is access to a pool on one of the roofs. We just had a quick visit to it one evening, but my guess is that the pool has sun during the day. Our reflection is that if we ever come back to South Africa we would rent a place like this apartment as a base camp, and have a rental car for shorter trips in the area. The area around the Cape Town, and Cape Town itself, is fantastic.
