Many thanks for the very personal welcome. Even if Rene couldn't be around in person, we were well informed in advance and found further detailed information in a personal letter in the flat. Lovely details such as flowers, sweets, fruits, cold water in the fridge and bath accessory helped to feel at home immediately. Rene provided us with helpful hints so we could live and explore the area, city and surrounding like a local. Furthermore she even provided us with excellent support to have the papers ready for purchasing a local SIM card. So we had a great time in a wonderful flat and a lovely city and highly recommend Rene as a host and her flat as the perfect place if you would love to experience Cape Town "as a local"!
