The apartment is absolutely amazing and Baki was a fantastic host. He has a wealth of information about Cape Town, and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. From the moment Baki opened the doors to greet us, we fell in love. The loft space is huge, and seems to go on and on. The views of the harbour and Bo-kaap from the triple height living room are breathtaking. The whole apartment is full of quite unusual art and furnishings, like the leather floor in the living room. The apartment really has the wow factor! Everywhere there are breathtaking views, especially on the huge rooftop terrace, where you get 360 degree views of Table Mountain, Lion's Head, Bo-kaap, and the harbour. The terrace has a dipping pool, which must be lovely in summer. We spent hours sitting and relaxing on the terrace, even into the evenings, when the floodlights on Table Mountain create an amazing backdrop to the city night. We also loved being on Bree Street, which Baki told us is the new trendy part of town. There are so many hip cafes and restaurants, all within a short walk from the apartment. On his recommendation, we tried Clark’s for breakfast (fantastic omelettes and coffee, and Short Market Club for dinner, and the very hip mother’s Gin for drinks, and were not disappointed).

Great host, stunning apartment, fantastic location. We would love to go back and stay again. This time for much longer!
