The Pumpkin Palace is an interesting flat with lots of character, and Woodstock is one of my favorite places in Cape Town. However, the host was extremely rude. I went to great lengths to arrange an early check-in time and even offered to pay the night before. When we arrived, other guests were still there. Jayson was extremely unapologetic and told me I was just going to have to "wing it" and that there was nothing he could do to get it ready quickly. He did refund us for the first night, but his attitude alone is something that future guests should be aware of. There were other small issues, such as no lock on the outside gate, dirty dishes in the kitchen, washer which didn't really work, etc, which I would normally not complain about, but given the rudeness of the host, I feel compelled to mention. It is a great location, but just beware that the host will not necessarily follow the arranged agreements.
