Brian and his family are very friendly and welcoming. Communication was easy, the check-in and check-out was flexible. The room had a private bathroom and we had access to the kitchen to cook. The breakfast has everything you need: coffee, tea, cereals, bread, cheese, jam, etc. so we could load our tanks for the day.
Maitland is a quiet location, by uber or mycitibus (station "Coronation" 7 mins by walking) you can reach the center of Cape Town easily. We just didn't want to walk around it night since there were not a lot of people on the streets.
We definetly recommend staying at Brian's!
