General:
Per-Anders has a phenomenal space and an eye for design, which makes sense given he's a photographer. It's a really well-designed loft space with lots of quirky items around and a couch for every day you're there! He met us upon check-in to welcome us and give us a quick tour, which was very nice.
Apartment:
The apartment is very well situated near the M4, the Castle of Good Hope, Company Garden and several popular squares with little markets. If you're extremely sensitive to noise at night, this might not be the place for you. The apartment is situated in an old warehouse building, which means it has old windows. As such they aren't sealed very well so you can hear things going on outside, but for us it was no issue (Our infant also didn't mind the noise). We hail from the city and enjoyed the buzz! Plus, who doesn't like big, beautiful windows?? Another plus is that there is a police station across the street. Not that you'll need it but it's kind of just nice to know it's close just in case. He also has Netflix (which was nice for us because several nights we were in early so our baby could sleep more soundly), and a big bluetooth speaker which was fun to use.
Things nearby:
There are 5 coffee shops within walking distance which made for easy and quick mornings. We would pick up a couple of flat whites on our way out if we were driving out of town, or sit and have breakfast at one of these spots. It's delightful. Four nearby restaurants we went to that stand out are Swan Cafe across the street, Myriam's (get a steak curry salomie),the Eastern Food Bazaar and and Nuri Shushi factory. We walked almost everywhere and felt safe. It's a big city, so keep your head on a swivel of course, but Cape Town is good about having police posted up on various corners.
Conclusion:
Per-Anders place is great. Stay here. Great amenities, centrally located, super cool design and easy access to: roads, coffee, food places, markets. Enjoy your stay in Cape Town!
