A fantastic place to stay during our week long stay in Cape Town! Victoria and I came from Vancouver, Canada and decided to book a place that is located in a safe area with great views and centrally located close to all attractions! The picture says it all-it was exactly as posted and advertised. Alberto and Lee were very welcoming and offered us a coffee the morning after we arrived to get to know us which was pleasant! They invited us up to give us a brief history lesson of the neighborhood from their balcony as well as info on streets to go down for shopping and food and which to avoid.
Our flight was delayed by 12 hours so we contacted Alberto directly and he replied immediately, so communication was great. Stayed up until midnight until we arrived in order to show us around and give us the keys.
Place was clean and welcoming, with a bottle of white wine and chocolates on the kitchen counter upon our arrival. We picked up a rental car from Cape Town airport which was cheap ($200 for the whole week) and drove straight to the house which was only a 25 min drive. Parking was outside on the street but the street and neighborhood is well guarded by a 24 hour guard, not that it was necessary because the area itself was safe enough anyway.
The private place with the pool was in a very secure place in the back yard after going through a iron locked gate and some stairs. Great views on to table mountain and a garden full of citrus trees made this stay a great one!
For the price, you won't find anything better in Cape Town with better views and a welcoming atmosphere-highly recommend you to stay here. One thing to note was that it was a bit humid in the apartment, especially after showers, making it fairly difficult for laundry to dry and towels to air dry after showering. Other then that, everything else was great! Free high speed WIFI, laundry facility and everything you need to make your stay a pleasant one! I would book this place again, and would like to thank Alberto and Lee for their hospitality! They are very approachable and willing to help out with any trip needs or questions.
