The apartment is beautiful and the description and photo's are exactly corresponding with the reality. Elena is a great, caring and attentive host and always reachable.
The place is very centrally located and close to the 'must see' landmarks in Cape Town.
The building has 24/7 security and there is always a concierge at the door.
In the neighborhood and at Bree street(two blocks) you can find excellent restaurants, E.g. The Shortmarket club, Grub and Vine, Chefs Warehouse.
At Kamili Coffee at the corner with Long street they serve very nice coffees.
What guests should know I think, is that the area is very lively and you (might) get confronted with beggars. Across the street we noticed prostitutes standing 24/7.
During our 10 days stay refugees were located on the Greenmarket square in front of the church. Around the Greenmarket square and in the street is a lot of security and police, which is needed. After 6pm, when the shops are closing you need to pay extra attention when walking on the street. We did go out and it felt safe because of this security, but without this security it would be a no go area for us (two women).
However, I still give the apartment and the host 5 stars.
