Morne's place is very lovely and we enjoyed our stay. The living room was very comfortable and spacious, and there's a nice big wall-mounted TV which was great for relaxing after our jam packed days exploring Cape Town and the surrounding area. It was nice being able to open the curtains of the living room and see Table Mountain, and while I wished the balcony was big enough for a couple of chairs and a table, it was still great to stand on and soak up the hustle and bustle of Greenmarket square while gazing at Table Mountain. In terms of amenities we were mostly happy, although compared to other places i've stayed I thought there maybe could have been a bit more on offer for preparing food. At the least a toaster and coffee machine would have been great (there was a stove top coffee maker although no coffee), and as such we weren't able to make breakfast at the place which is usually what I like to do at AirBnB's. However there are good breakfast options nearby like Clarke's. We were spoilt by our last AirBnB host with arrays of fresh fruit, home baked bread, and lots of coffee options and ingredients to cook with, but I guess this just varies and Morne is a bit more hands off. The area is very convenient, being walking distance for a lot of things, and there are many options for restaurants etc nearby.
One downside of staying right in the center is the noise however. I'm pretty used to noise living in New York, but this was even a bit much for me, with the market setting up providing a lot of early morning clinking and clanking, and some really bizarre random shouting noises happening at night, although the bedroom is slightly more cut off from it than the living room. Also the area is slightly on the sketchy side at night, and you'll get approached by a lot of people asking for money etc, and we felt slightly on edge. It was mostly my GF that was nervous, but even I was slightly tense, and i'm pretty well travelled and also grew up in a bit of a dodgy area in the north of England. There are public safety people right on the corner which was a bit relieving, but I was once approached by one and told I was being followed by two men that wanted to rob me, which was a bit disconcerting as i'm used to living in an extremely safe environment where you can wander round on your own at all hours of the night (New York's not what it used to be!). I guess this is just an unfortunate circumstance that South Africa is dealing with right now, and of course its sadly much worse for the people living in the townships, as we were told by a lot of the people we interacted with like guides and Uber drivers.
A couple of other minor gripes were that the bedroom has no outside windows, and the front door doesn't have an internal bolt locking mechanism, both of which would be considered pretty serious fire hazards here in the US. Obviously every country has different regulations, but I found that a little strange, especially the door. Also we could have done with a second set of keys because not having an internal lock means that if one person leaves then the other person is sitting in an unlocked apartment. Morne's list of recommendations were pretty helpful, and we enjoyed some of the places like the Victoria Company gardens for brunch, and Clarke's Bar for dinner (which looks exactly like a bar you'd find in Williamsburg). I would have appreciated receiving the Wifi and parking instructions via the same message, since the WiFi information in the welcome booklet was out of date, and we couldn't get the link to work for the parking instructions when we were driving, which led to a super stressful half an hour of driving round one way streets looking for the garage with people knocking on our windows. We also asked the guy at the front desk where it was and he said he didn't know, which seemed strange. Once we found it it was easy to access though, and having a passageway to the apartment was great.
All in all I think the apartment is very nice, it just depends on what you're looking for. If you want to be right in the mix of things and soak up the hustle and bustle (the square was great on the weekend with performers etc), then this is the place for you. If you want a more quieter relaxed situation, which in hindsight we kind of did since we live in a noisy frenetic metropolis, then maybe consider a more residential area. This place is very reasonable though so we can't complain, and we definitely enjoyed our stay overall. Cape Town is a wonderful city with an incredibly scenic and exciting surrounding area. We hope to go back one day.
