Just perfect! We stayed at Jaco&Charl's place for 4 nights and really enjoyed every single minute of it. Far in advance they do whatever is necessary to set up a smooth and comfy arrival/time in their apartment (WhatsApp group).
Our flight was a little late and we arrived about 9pm at Queens Rd. Despite our late arrival both welcomed us and showed us around the apartment. Everything was clean, well organized and outstanding. You feel welcome and at home from the very first minute and will be impressed by the incredible view (Cape town, table mountain and Lion's head).
The place is serviced with everything you need! Even the fridge was filled with fruits and everything we needed for breakfast. For dinner we made use of the great barbecue almost every night. The little café (blue café) - just around the corner - that is recommended in the apartment's description is really great (esp. chocolate croissants and cappuccino).
As we traveled with our little niece who joined the trip after we booked the apartment Jaco&Charl set up a comfortable futon in the living room on 3rd floor. Comfortable enough that all three of us ended up sleeping on that futon upstairs to enjoy every minute of this world class view.
On our first day in Cape Town we made use of uber - as suggested by Jaco&Charl - and went up table mountain. As the weather was perfect the line at the cable car queued up for approx. 2h. Luckily, we got online tickets and were able to pass by the queue. The second day we visited Robben Island. Again we made use of online tickets. Both trips highly recommended.
The third day we toured around cape peninsula with Jaco who is a certified tour guide and offers tours only for the apartment's guests. He has above and beyond knowledge about everything coming up on that tour! The trip took us the whole day and was worth every minute and penny. Really enjoyed our hourly discussions with Jaco! All in all, you can't get a better tour!
To sum up, just book and enjoy! We will be back - for sure!!
