This is a brand new apartment, just as shown in the pictures. The view of Observatory is beautiful and the bay and ships are visible in the distance. There is a balcony with this view, and inside the place is spacious with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. I was by myself and didn't need all the space but it was worthwhile staying here because the location is so convenient to UCT Medical Campus and Groote Schuur Hospital. Everything in the unit was new and clean, with excellent internet and satellite TV, nicely decorated with a very functional kitchen. The neighbourhood is eclectic with bars, restaurants and coffee shops within a couple of blocks. I enjoyed going to Saint James Cafe for morning coffee, and trying other options too. Parking was safe inside the building. Cape Town center is a relatively short drive away (perhaps 10 to 15 minutes) as are many other attractions in the area. Mandy was very responsive and checking in and out was easy.
