Vaughan is a stellar host! He is generous, flexible, and keeps a tidy and gorgeous home. Wish I had booked more nights, but now I know where to stay on any future trips to Cape Town. I'm a student so spent some hours working from the scenic balcony with great wifi.
Safe, walkable neighborhood. Great vegan options nearby. About 30 minutes by uber from the airport. Quick uber to Lion's Head hiking. Don't miss sunset - just walk down to the beach!
Note - I was there during "load shedding" so there were periodic power outages. I hardly noticed except for the traffic light being out at the intersection by the beach. Vaughan provides thoughtful touches like cute battery-powered lamps to light your way through the house if needed, and the wifi stays connected even without power. Really was no issue for me - just ask about the schedule if you are concerned so you can charge your phone at the right time ;)
