This was the first time I'd used Airbnb and it was with really short notice that I had to find accommodation for my trip. Joan replied promptly to my booking request which took a load of stress out of my trip.
I was familiar with where Joan lived as I grew up there many years ago, but even for someone not familiar to the area it is very easy to find.
Joan has a beautiful home and the room itself was exquisite. It was very tastefully decorated, super clean and fresh. The same goes for the ensuite, spotless. The area itself is very quiet, with stunning views of the mountains and ocean. The separate entrance was great for me to come and go without being a bother. What isn't mentioned in Joan's listing is the lovely little nook just outside the room's entrance which has a table and chairs to enjoy a morning cuppa in the sea air.
Joan is a fantastic host, along with her two adorable and friendly Yorkies, Layla and Lolita. My needs were quite minimal, but I can tell you that nothing will be too much for any guest of Joan's. The Five Star Rating is well deserved!
I will definitely be staying at Joan's the next time I visit Cape Town, provided, of course, she has availibility in what is sure to become a very popular listing!
