I only stayed with Carrie for 1.5 days, but it was definitely my favorite accommodation in all of Cape Town. And that's high praise considering the rest of my trip was mostly at a 5-star hotel for free using loyalty points. Yet the reasonable price to stay with Carrie still seems like a better value! Her place has an open-air layout and it's tastefully decorated. One of the finest experiences I've had with Airbnb. But it's Carrie's generous hospitality that truly sets it apart. You have access to her kayaks, her cuddle-buddy of a dog Peppy, and her wealth of knowledge about the area as a travel writer. I didn't have a car so I didn't take advantage of the secure parking spot, but Carrie offered to drop me off at a few of my destinations. She even invited me out to a party with her friends where I was able to mingle with locals. I can't recommend Carrie enough, and my only regret is that I didn't stay longer!
