I loved staying at Taj's place!
The central location is ideal. Especially if you are planning to rent a car (which, by the way, you definitely should), since there is free/secure parking in the building.
The location was a little intimidating for a hot second since it is right in the City Centre and it's busy. But, once I got the feel of the place, I loved how easy it was to: walk to all the city centre sight; drive in any direction. . . just minutes from the V&A Waterfront, the cable car to Table Mountain, Sea Point and Clifton and Camp's Bay beaches, Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. . .
The driving (even on the left side for an American) was easy. The roads around Cape Town and the Cape and the Winelands are really great and very well marked. And traffic, at least for a Chicagoan, was a breeze. Yes, I did signal to change lanes with my wipers a few too many times (and now the reverse here at home!), but hey! that was part of the adventure.
OK, back to Taj's place:
The picture shows you what it is:
Sleek, modern, clean, well-appointed.
The bathroom, and especially the shower, was great!
There's a washer/dryer in the unit.
I didn't cook. . . but I should have! The place is fully stocked with not only plates/dishes/utensils, but pots and pans and all you cooking needs. Stove top and oven.
Nice fridge/freezer
Oh, there is a grocery store, Pic N Save, right downstairs. Not exactly in the building, but in an interior mall on the same block. Super convenient and great, local prices.
9th floor. Not a fabulous view, but a view of the Castle of Good Hope down Strand St., the main train station, and the back end of Table Mountain.
There is no internet or wifi. At least not during my stay. But it wasn't too hard to find free wifi in nearby coffee shops and tourist offices. (Why would you want to sit on your computer in Cape Town?!!! Get out there and explore!)
Perfect apartment for a couple or a single traveler.
It's nicely appointed to serve whatever your travel style needs.
I hope to return.
