We loved our stay in Cape Town at Derek's place. Beautiful apartment, great view and all the amenities we needed for a week long stay. It's in a great location, which made it easy to get around the city. The store/mall downstairs was very convenient and helpful when needing groceries. I wasn't too sure how secure it would really be with a mall downstairs, however after checking in with Louise, we were definitely more at ease and never felt unsafe in the building or in the area overall. As some people have mentioned the gym downstairs can be noisy, but it didn't bother us since we were up early most days. Great communication with Derek/Louise as well which was very appreciated.
