Me and my family stayed at Jan's apartment for 3 weeks and Jan was a great host; informing well in time about everything - both before and during our stay. It was easy to get hold of him and he always got back to us immediately. He even updated us about the events of closed streets during a protest close by and we felt very safe staying with our two small children in his apartment. It's placed in the middle of town and we were happily surprised about how safe it felt. Jan welcomed us and our two 1-year old children and it was the perfect place to stay in. Even though it wasn't child proofed we didn't have much trouble with the kids messing up - it all went smooth and a big bonus was the bath tub which the kids enjoyed a lot. Jan even had a small gift for the kids upon our arrival and had filled the fruit bowl with fruits for us :) Great with the facilities that the apartment offers with a dish washer, washing machine and a tumble dryer - more especially when you have kids! Many great TV channels to watch before bedtime and to keep the kids entertained once in a while. Jan even arranged with an extra mattress for the kids to sleep on during our stay - at no extra cost. The place is perfectly situated if you want to move around easily in Cape Town; short walking distances to safe transportation such as MyCiti buses (Jan also provided us with the bus cards which was great since they can be pretty tricky to get hold of sometimes). The apartment got a bit cold at times when the October weather was a bit rough but luckily Jan had great heating system so we could stay warm. We also enjoyed the access to the lovely swimming pool on a terrace just across the road and we would have used the gym next to it if we were gonna be there without kids :) The apartment is also situated close by to great places such as District Six Museum, The Slave Lodge Museum, Charley's Bakery, the Book Lounge and Company Gardens - which was a perfect picnic spot for the kids if we didn't want to go on longer day trips. The building where the apartment is in was also very pleasant with friendly neighbours and guards in the lobby. The apartment was cleaned once a week and new bedsheets and towels were also provided - such a good service! We are so happy about the place and our lovely host and would definately stay there again!
