The location of the apartment is great! Many of the popular bars and restaurants are all within walking distance. A short distance to Table Mountain and Lion's Head (about 5 minute drive). You can throw a rock and hit the grocery store, which is super convenient since you can then park your car and not have to move it since Uber is readily available. The parking lot is secure, but do know that it is used by other people during the day for the grocery store and other retailers around. The apartment is on the second floor and the back windows overlook the parking lot. My husband and I had the windows open since there was no AC and it was unusually hot when we were there, so we heard the coming and going of vehicles during the night, but nothing more than what would be expected. The apartment building itself is a bit old, which at first worried me, but it is actually quite safe with the 24 hour security.
Sarah is a great host! Every time I needed to reach her, she responded promptly. She even came over to take care of a clogged drain and to give us a fan (again, it was unusually warm). Additionally, she has wonderful suggestions for what to do around town.
