This was a great place to stay for a week. The photos and listing are accurate. This comfortable, upscale downtown loft has a Nigella Lawson kitchen, a wonderful collection of art books and sophisticated, visually appealing décor. It was a pleasure and a privilege to stay here. The host and her rep were very communicative and helpful.

The apartment couldn't be more central. The tourist office is 10 metres away. Many tourist sites, shops, bars and restaurants are nearby. Be sure to check out Greenmarket Square, the bars on Long St and the trendy part of Church St.

We thought the best gym was Ignite on Greenmarket Square. It cost 6 euros a day to train there. The Food Lover's Market (located in the same building as Ignite) was one of our hangouts: http://thefoodloversmarket.webs.com/

We kept our car at the Picabel Parkade car park for the week without any problems at all. It's located about a block away, at 58 Strand St. Just a few euros a day, if that. To avoid hassle with parking at the beaches, we took the MyCiti bus. The Adderly bus station is just about 200 metres away. But the taxis are also cheap in Cape Town.

Highly recommended!
