Sam and Shirley are great hosts! You will get a letter when you arrive and everything is clean and clear~ I really loved my stay and would like to visit again if I can:) It was really comfortable, breakfast, fruit and drinks provided~ If you have more time staying in Cape Town, I suggest you do not make your schedule too tight~ save sometime chatting with Shirley and the university students who are staying upstairs~ There are also two cats and a turtle around and it's been much fun! Uber is really easy to get around and it's also not too far from the train station, if you decided to take the train, I would suggest you to stay in groups or pretend that you are with a group~ just for safety, and try do not put your phone out when you are on the train.. though it's generous pretty safe during day time, there is a potential to be robbed. Uber is much safer for sure and you can always learn something talking with the driver~ the cost is not expensive~ and cheaper than taxi.
