I have just arrived back in the UK after the best two weeks of my life. I have so many great things to say about this flat.
1) Arrival: Kim made sure my partner and I arrived safely from the airport to the flat and met me directly outside at night. She showed me around the flat and amenities.
2) Help: Always available from Kim/Janetta. E.g. There was a minor glitch on arrival (e.g. wifi password wouldn't let me log in) however this was sorted super promptly and was fine from then as Kim/Janetta are available round the clock! Another example is when I briefly fell ill and Kim was able to give me advice on how to get medical care.
3) Apartment/amenities: The apartment was just stunning. Well equipped, clean, towels, shampoo/conditioner/soap. Some tea/coffee and milk in the fridge. All the cooking stuff you need (there wasn't a chopping board but was very cheap just to buy one!) Bed was very comfy. No noise from the street. Instructions on how to use everything was in a little book provided by Janetta. Simple little gym and pool in the complex which was nice. Even plug travel adaptors, washing detergent and conditioner were provided. Fans in case it gets too stuffy. Iron and ironing board.
4) Security: Very secure flat. On the fourth floor. Easy to use safe for valuables.
5) Location: perfect location to get everywhere. For safety reasons my partner and I used cabs which were so cheap it was unreal (e.g. to most tourist locations like the waterfront I was paying £1-2). Great restaurants/brunch places nearby. I felt a unsafe walking the streets around this area alone, but I don't think this should discredit the flat at all as I think it's a general issue in Cape Town. There are security personnel on the streets at night which made me feel a little bit more at ease. Shoprite (supermarket) is just around the corner.
6) Cost: Worth every penny
7) Janetta/Kim kindly arranged for a cleaner to come midweek.
We were so sad to leave our home away from home, but hope to come back one day! Thanks again Janetta and Kim x
