This Airbnb is unlike most others -- it is much more like a homestay where guests join the everyday life of a family. I stayed with Nombulelo for three weeks and deeply appreciated the warmth and kindness of her whole family (who do not live in the house but are often there to visit and share meals). I felt very much at home and really enjoyed their company! Xhosa is the main language in the family, but everyone speaks English, too, an interesting and fluid bilingual environment. I also became fond of Langa, a super-sociable place full of ideas and opinions and stories.
My room was absolutely spotless, and I especially loved the bed, which was firm and super comfortable. Nombulelo is a good cook, if you make arrangements to have meals with the family, and she was very flexible in sharing the kitchen when I wanted to cook, too. She is a beautiful human being, and I'm grateful for her friendship. Enkosi kakhuli, sisi!
