We strongly recommend visitors to Cape Town consider staying here!

The building is just a 1/2 block from the main road leading to Table Mt cableway and Camps Bay. Easy walking distance to good restaurants, Checkers grocery, and cute shops (we loved the jewelry and nice souvenirs at Arabesque and Mr&Mrs just around the corner on Kloof St.) I would have felt fairly safe walking alone at night in this neighborhood. Homey, yet modern decor with a view from Table Mountain over to Signal Hill made this place special. The unit’s balcony and bedrooms have a gorgeous view of Table Mt, but the street below sees quite a lot of daytime traffic which makes the balcony not the most peaceful place to sit and rest. If you’re looking for secluded quiet, stay on a farm in wine country. If you’re seeing Cape Town for a few days, stay at Helga’s!

NB: You’ll find the flats/apt building near the middle of the block by recognizing the large “San Bernardo” sign on the front of the building. Helga will likely make arrangements to meet you there at a certain time (FYI: her photo on Airbnb is not accurate—might be her daughter?)
