In terms of the apartment:
Perfect. Clean. Wonderful aesthetic. Great amenities.
In terms of the apartment building (Forty-On-L):
We, a party of 4, found the place a bitter-sweet experience.
On one hand, the building itself has everything you need and good security. On the other, while we gave Forty-On-L the benefit of the doubt, we feel that the building's construction has not done great justice when integrating with its surroundings and the iconic community of Bo-Kaap.
The location is not easily accessible. The steep hills make it difficult to walk around and there are no nearby shops/markets. Using services such as Uber may be a little difficult as it takes a while for a driver to confirm your trip.
The hosts:
Llewellyn was friendly and helpful. They were always one message away and willing to go beyond what is expected of a host!
Thank you for accommodating us.
