Nico was very welcoming, considerate, responsive, helpful, and easy to deal with before and during our stay. In sum, he is is a great host. We (my wife and I) stayed in the apartment for three weeks in December-January, and immediately felt at home.

Nico's apartment is as described in the listing: a very nice apartment that is well suited for two persons. In case we needed something that we couldn't find in the apartment, Nico was quick to provide that. Nico informed us already prior to our arrival that the air conditioning would not be working during our stay due to power outages that had occurred in the area. (It was aparently not possible to have someone repair it during the holiday season.) It does get rather warm in the apartment in the afternoons. Hence, we would recommend checking with Nico if the AC is working again.

The neighborhood seemed safe (at least during day time), and the neighbors and the whole area is very quiet. The first week we didn't bother renting a car; you can easily walk down to the beach front and the big park, which also has a nice outdoor gym. MyCiTy bus is a good means of transportation if you just want to go around Sea Point, Green Point or to downtown. The two last weeks we rented a car and used the on-site parking, which was perfect.

We can warmly recommend Nico's apartment for couples and single professional persons. We can definitely envision staying in Nico's apartment next time we visit Cape Town.
