I have spent the last 9 months traveling the world and by far Ian's place was the best I have stayed at thus far! Both the amazing space as well as Ian's friendliness and generosity turned what was supposed to only be a three day stay into a 10 day stay!

From the first moment he picked me up at the airport, Ian quickly transformed Cape Town from an alien land to home. In all my travels, rarely have I felt as comfortable and in tune with my surroundings as I did here. Not only would Ian provide me with helpful tips and suggestions on where to explore (ones not revealed or available to the average tourist) but he also took me in like a long lost friend, with his wonderful meals and delightful conversations. If you stay here, I highly recommend you go to wine country with him, its something not to be missed!

As for the property itself, it is ideally located. I hardly ever had to use any form of transportation to see all the sites! Grocery, restaurants and even the gym were all within walking distance! And do I have to mention the view? It was the most wonderful site waking up to this 180 degree panoramic view of this beautiful city every morning. I can't believe I even left!

My stay with Ian has solidified my desire to return to Cape Town (and stay at this wonderful apartment), but I am recommending my parents to stay with Ian as well. Not only did I find an exceptional host in Ian, but an amazing friend.
