We were delighted with Amelia's place. The decor, the amenities, the location were all perfect. And Cape Town and environs are amazing, do come here!
We are middle-aged parents with our two college aged kids (1 boy/1 girl) here on holiday. This house was perfect for us. Our kids had their own rooms and their own bathrooms with showers. My wife and I were upstairs in the gorgeous master bedroom with shower and bath tub (separate), toilet and sink.
We loved the wood floors.
All the beds were really comfortable.
The decor is just gorgeous. Elegant, modern, minimalist, serene. All this done to a remodelled house with several arches preserved.
the shape of the ceiling in the master bedroom is so interesting. And there are glorious large windows, the back one looking up to the mountain and the front one looking at the skyline of Cape Town.
We were here during a rare stretch of rainy days and cold weather. Just like cities along the Mediterranean (and I'm sure elsewhere), Cape Town homes don't have elaborate heating systems for lack of need. The upstairs master bedroom had a wonderful built-in unit that got the room warm quickly. The other two bedrooms were provided with space heaters. The living room had a fire place; Amelia left us some wood to get us started with that. The downstairs living room, dining room, and kitchen were a bit chilly at times. But note, this was June, the rainiest month for Cape Town and the temperature had been a steady 9 deg. C with lots of rain for the last three days.
Amelia was very easy to communicate with, always getting back to us right away.
We had a wonderful time in Cape Town. Having Amelia's splendid house as our home base made it really pleasurable to come "home" after a busy day of touring.
