Jay's place was excellent! Lots of space, excellent security men and women, they let me leave my bags after check out so I could explore more of Cape Town :) Very close to some of the main art and history museums. Near many amazing restaurants and neighborhoods, Gardens ended up being my favorite neighborhood. I would say being on Long St. it is quite loud at night (which is clear in the description and other reviews). The double windows do a great job of keeping out most of the noise, really just the bass pulse is audible. There is a fan which allows you to keep the windows closed at night and provides good white noise.
Additionally Jay and Brunella were excellent hosts- very responsive and helpful! They sent me to a great place for my PCR test, which I really appreciate. I would highly recommend their place to anyone in Cape Town for the first time. Uber drivers found the apartment pretty easy to locate and most major attractions are max. 15 minutes away.
