This is an amazing penthouse apartment with stunning views out over Table Mountain and Lions Head - you can see Cape Town spread out below you including colourful Bo Kaap. Sunsets are amazing!
The apartment is just like its description & photos - we found the downstairs bedroom (double bed) perfect, with a double en-suite shower which was great! There are two single beds together on the mezzanine area and another en-suite toilet, with another shower just being completed. Air con is really good, which is a must-have.
The apartment itself is a REALLY well done loft apartment, very artfully designed and with all mod cons - you literally have all you need in the fully equipped kitchen, and the massive smart TV and sound system (which includes cable, internet et al) is an excellent touch.
We were really thankful for Alexander and Elspeth's great hosting - Alexander was in regular contact by text and Elspeth met us at check-in to show us the apartment and give us some advice about the local area, and again on check out. There is 24x7 reception which made it really easy for us to come and go.
The local area is very hip with lots going on, it's close enough to Long St to have the buzz but far enough away to not be noisy or crowded. Bree St is full of great cafes, bars and restaurants as well as all sorts of cool shops and curiosities. The apartment is a great base to easily walk to the Long St / Loop St area or over to Kloof St (which we found to be great, LOTS going on!) and a cheap Uber ride to the V&A Waterfront. Colourful Bo Kaap is just next door too.
The only slight negative is a little sound transmission from the street (as one side of the apartment is all windows) and from the lift machinery, but it is pretty easy to ignore and didn't faze us to be honest.
There is also an excellent communal outdoor pool and sun deck with loungers and a small bar on the floor below (part of the hotel) which is free to access.
The apartment very quickly felt like home for us and we were very sad when we had to go home! There is no better way to have breakfast than sitting at the table with a glass of fizz taking in the Table Mountain view - highly recommend this place, especially to couples who want a great base in Cape Town :) Five-star!
