The feeling of going home is my description of arriving at Odette and Neil's comfortable home in Cape Town. They've perfected the principles of Airbnb. Odette and Neil are the grandparents you wish you had. They are kind, gentle, generous, and most importantly, caring. Our shark diving expedition called her to inform her of the specifications and preparations for the trip. Upon knowing that we might get seasick, she purchased the medicine for us. Most hosts would just tell us to go get it ourselves, but not Odette, as she is thoughtful and caring. We were so touched.
We arrived at 9:00AM in the morning and of course our room wasn't ready yet due to previous guests still occupying it. Neil picked us up at the airport and showed us around town, up Table Mountain and finally an afternoon tea at V&A Waterfront. He was humorous, charming and charismatic.
Their house is comfortable, clean, spacious and centralised.
Right outside their house about a block away across the street, is the Hill Bus Stop that will take you to downtown. And the other side will take you to Camps Bay. There's a wonderful beach and a supermarket nearby that will fulfil your needs.
I had such a great time staying with them. On the last day of our stay, we left for another place, and Neil offered to drive us. He even provided us with guidance and assistance in the future for investment or job opportunities! Such an awesome guy!
People, if you visit Cape Town and want to enhance your stay, look for this place. You will have the best time of your life!
