Marek and Matthew were great hosts. Marek was really responsive in the lead-up to our trip and in answering any questions we had about logistics while we were there. Matthew met us at the apartment to orient us and gave us good advice. They provided a nice overview of the key logistics of the apartment and recommendations for the neighborhood.

The apartment was exactly as advertised; the internet was fast, there is a TV without cable but with a great DVD collection, and there is laundry in the building. The bed was very comfortable, and the views of Table Mountain were awesome. The rooftop pool is more for soaking than swimming, but it was too cold at night while we were there. Some other reviews mentioned onerous security procedures - there is a person at the desk and swipe card to get in/out, which made us feel safe, not bothered.

During the day, it is safe to walk into the City Centre; at night this is probably fine but not advisable. We did walk locally to some of the restaurants within 2-3 blocks at night, but there aren't a ton of people around. Uber makes getting to/from this apartment, which is centrally located, incredibly easy and efficient at all times of day and this is definitely what I would recommend.

Overall, you should stay here if you are 1-2 people looking for a functional apartment to sleep/hang out in, and you are going to spend most of your trip out and about in Cape Town. We would definitely stay again!
