Debbie’s place was my first Airbnb experience and I honestly could not have asked for a better stay!

The Host: Debbie was the absolute warmest host! I was visiting Cape Town during the holiday and wasn’t familiar with Century City, so she graciously picked me up and gave me a lift to the apartment. When we arrived at the apartment, she gave me a tour of the entire complex which had every amenity that you could ask for: a 24-hour security, gym, pool, hot tub/jacuzzi, health & beauty spa, laundry/dry cleaning services etc) I was greeted with an amazing view, a bottle of wine in the fridge, and a chocolates near my bedside. Very nice touch! She made herself available to me throughout my stay and overall had an inviting and positive energy.

The Place: The flat is situated on the upper floor of the high-rise building, with the most amazing view, overlooking the canal. The décor is warm and inviting. The living room brings in a lot of natural light and the bedroom is serene and relaxing. The bathroom and cupboards were stocked with fresh linens, towels, and toiletries.

The unit is within the Knightsbridge complex, voted the 2nd safest complex in South Africa. The security guards are very friendly and even provide free escort to the mall at night. One of the most convenient features was the fact that the complex is a 3-minute walk away from Canal Walk, one of the largest malls in South Africa, along a safe & beautiful pathway. Canal Walk is filled with virtually every shop, restaurant, and supermarket South Africa has to offer. The downside of being so close to the mall is that I developed an unhealthy obsession with Marcel’s Frozen Yogurt. While the apartment is located in Century City, north of Cape Town city centre, it is very close to the highway and about a 10-15 minute Uber ride to the city.

All in all, I had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend Debbie’s place!
