This apartment is by far the best one I’ve stayed across my 10+ Airbnb vacations. Luigi and Maurizio do a fantastic job of offering a warm, trendy, and hospitable place to call home for a visit to Cape Town.
The apartment is even better than the photos depict, it’s stylish and well maintained — a combo washer/dryer, fast WiFi (sufficient for Netflix, Skype, etc), comfortable air con, beautiful kitchen amenities and a spacious shower (with good water pressure — not always the norm!). Bed is comfortable, plenty of closet space/hangars, comfy couch with a Smart TV, and a nice (small) balcony with a Table Mountain View.
The location can’t be beat. 2 blocks from Cape Quarter Lifestyle Village (Zone Fitness Gym, grocery store, liquor store, cafes, etc) and a 7-10 minute walk to the V&A waterfront. It’s also a 10 minute walk to some of the excellent restaurants and cafes in the downtown area.
I was allowed to check in early (many thanks!) and then Maurizio visited to do a full resupply of kitchen essentials, toiletries, etc. He sent me some excellent tips including amazing sushi at Beluga (3 blocks away) and some of the best coffee at Origins (4 blocks away).
Maurizio and Luigi checked in periodically and even offered to bring their housekeeper in halfway through my 12 day stay. The communication was fast and helpful.
The building is very safe with 24/7 security (friendly guys as well!) and they were always checking in to ensure I knew my way, found my Uber ride, etc etc.
Check in and check out is a breeze thanks to the lockbox for keys and value for money can’t be beat!
Thanks to Maurizio and Luigi for a wonderful visit, I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone else visiting Cape Town!
