So having stayed in Cape Town a dozen times we decided to locate in the town centre and see how life was there and I’m very glad we did. Firstly the apartment is just great for two people. There a balconies on both floors giving a side view of Table Mountain so you’ll know what weather you will have that day.
The bedroom has an enormous bed and decent shower, bath, wash hand basin and toilet as well as enough wardrobe space for two peoples clothes. Downstairs you have all the facilities you’ll need for a week or so’s visit. Washing machine, dish washer, cooker all worked fine and if you stay in there’s a TV with a subscription to watch. The complex has a small gym and lovely swimming pool. If you take up the option to use the allocated car parking space you can get to the apartment in 40 seconds so it’s great for loading luggage. Be aware there are more turns than Chapmans Peak Drive to get to the top floor where the space is.
Alderney Street is busy all day and of course there are people asking for money but like most in Cape Town not aggressively so you should not be worried but you should be watchful. You are two streets over from Long Street but my recommendation would be to move another block along and visit Bree Street for food and bars close to the apartment.
No hesitation in recommending the apartment.
