Eugene is a fantastic host. He was very quick to respond to all my questions with detailed information and suggestions on transportation, safety, where to shop, what to do in Cape Town. He alone is a big plus to anyone unfamiliar with the area. The apartment is spacious, has a lot of natural light. The beds and linens are super comfortable, lots of pillows which I need. We used the patio each day for coffee and to check the weather before dressing. The location is around the corner from Long Street, which is the place where everything is happening, restaurants, bars, shops, ice cream. You either like that or you don't. I'm a light sleeper and slept just fine with the minor street noise. The supplies are basic. We needed to buy kitchen roll and soap for the shower. The sofa is a bit hard, but you're not in Cape Town to watch TV. It's not the Ritz, but at the price it is a great value.
