Alex's place is simply stunning. The photos don't do it (or him!) justice. It is really large - plenty of space for us to roll out our yoga mats while checking out the incredible view. The area is the best - quiet and peaceful around his place, but literally moments from some of the best cafes, bars and restaurants in the city. We had lovely breakfasts at the Charles Cafe and stocked up on fresh food at the nearby Spar to cook at home. Everything you need is a just a minutes or two away: hairdressers, yoga studios, art galleries... The place was spotless and Alex was very professional but also friendly. He's lived in Cape Town for a long time and it's obvious he loves the city and his neighbourhood. All round, the perfect host.
