If you’re looking to stay in the De Waterkant area, this is a great apartment to stay in (if you can afford it). The building is immune to loadshedding; however, it’s located on a very loud and bustling road. If you’re visiting Cape Town for the first time, just know that even though this is considered a “safer” area within the main city, it still isn’t entirely safe. Even though this has nothing to do with owner’s of the apartment, I’d like to note that someone attempted to mug me in broad daylight and chased me all the way back to the apartment. What’s good about the building, is that it’s secure and very safe. There is always concierge by the entrance. Alfred, specifically, was so helpful and made my stay so much more comfortable.
Just be mindful of your surroundings when traveling and try to Uber mostly.
Another thing to note: the listing claims to have a dryer (it doesn’t). The washer has a wash and dry setting, though. You’ll have to air dry your clothes either way!
