This was a good stay in the heart of Cape Town. We, two couples, spend two weeks here.
The big advantages of the accomodation:
- The location. I guess this accom is all about location. This is the perfect location if you want to explore the city bowl of Cape Town as a pedastrian and walk to bars and restaurants in the night. It's right at the beginning of the lving neighborhood that is closest to the CBD - Gardens/Tamboerskloof, a very nice and lively area.
- A very nice host! Miriam was not just responsive, but caring pro-actively, including some high quality beverages in the fridge on arrival. What we also liked was the good relationship she had with her employee Sylvia, who cleaned the house (in our case, once in a week).
- The house is relatively large, and you don't live in an appartment or a summer cottage, but really have the whole house for yourself. So you really feel like your are living there.
- All amneties and appliances were there.
Things that other travellers should know:
- The street next to the cottage is a small one, but relatively busy. As I said you are in an urban area and given the proximity to bars and restaurants, it can get a bit noisy during the night.
- The house is an older town house. It has got a good deal of paint recently, but do not expect a fully renovated house.
Thanks Miriam for hosting us, it was lovely!
