I'm a full time traveller and this has by far been one of my fav. Airbnbs.
Safety: The location of the apartment, neighborhood, and surrounding areas is safe with private security in the neighborhood and multiple upscale restaurants and shops on Kloof street the area is always busy.
Location: There's a grocery store across the street, health food store 5 minutes walk away, and multiple popular eateries all around the corner. There is really no need to leave for anything! Gardens has a true neighborhood vibe, with some hipster influences, and vibrant nightlife (within walking distance, but far enough so there's no noise at night). It's a quick 10 minute uber to any of the local attractions as well: V+A, Lions Head, etc.
The Apartment: Beautifully designed, yet also functional, plus every appliance you could need from nutribullet and espresso machine to blackout shades and a heating pad on the bed for cold CapeTown nights. Also, the WiFi is lightning fast. If there is a concern of load-shedding, A) it didn't happen once when I was here and B)Terence has a backup network and generator. I never had an issue on multiple video calls a day and doing video editing. The outdoor spaces are beautiful in this apartment. You'll want to keep the doors open all day. Great to see table mountain out the window, listen to the birds in the morning.
The hosts: Justine and Terrence are very friendly and helpful and quick to respond. Nophiwo who comes twice a week to clean the apartment is the sweetest woman and keeps the place sparkling clean.
If this space is available, don't hesitate to book!
