Hello,
so we (me, wife and one year son) stayed with Erica for 3 months do to business. We had a tremendous time. Not only is Erica a very helpful and considerate hostess, but we always had someone to count on if an issue of any kind arised.
The apartment is spotless and there is more than you need to have a good time in Cape Town. The Estate is filled with parks and places where you can relax or picnic. Not once we had the feeling of insecurity. We even forgot to lock the door sometimes. The surrounding residents are also very helpful and always up for a chat.
And if you want to explore Cape Town, nearly every attraction or tourist hotspot can be reached within the hour or less. And the famous Wine Estates are just around the corner if you are interestet in wine tasting.
