Alison & Lenita are truly a 1 of a kind experience. Such charming and organized hosts and had great communication from the beginning. They are such great people and I recommend their place for any young traveler looking for an affordable, safe place to stay while in Cape Town. They allowed me to cook my own food and even shared tea and coffee with me everyday! I really can't say enough positive things about the experience, and their cats! Staying in Observatory is very residential and a short drive from town. At night it can seem a bit hectic at times but they make things very safe and secured getting in and out of the house. Overall 10/10.
