We stayed for one week in this rather brand new apartment. We were checked in by lovely Kelly who welcomed us with a local wine. She also provided us with valuable tips on restaurants and breakfast places in the neighbourhood.
The apartment looks quite stylish and all appliances seemed as if they were totally unused. We enjoyed the washing machine, dishwasher, microwave, etc. which all looked as if we were the first ones using them.
We knew the building was on Main Rd, and we were fine with it, but we underestimated the noise produced by 14 lanes of traffic right in front of the balcony. As a result we tried to keep all windows shut and only aerated when necessary, which due to the absence of an air condition led to a rather hot apartment throughout the stay. We travelled with a baby which had to sleep during the day from time to time, so keeping the windows open for longer was no option.
Due to the Cape Town drought the pool was not maintained properly unfortunately. This is of course nothing Kelly personally had any impact on but very unfortunate nonetheless as we were very much looking forward to using it.
Summarising, we absolutely liked the apartment and the location to get from A to B. It comes with the downside of a bearable noise level, but being able to walk into town, walk to the Waterfront and have numerous restaurants around the corner was much appreciated.
