Spacious and very secure house in the centre of Observatory. Great value for its size, would be a good place for a small group of travellers to base themselves for a trip to Cape Town. Walking distance to all the local restaurants and bars, as well as a decent Spar supermarket, and other areas of Cape Town are easily reachable by Uber. The washing machine is useful for a longer stay, and there's a nice little enclosed courtyard to dry clothes. The kitchen has most things you could wish for to cook for yourself, the oven and fridge worked very well and were very clean. Lots of spare towels and extra blankets are provided, the latter was useful as during winter the nights in Cape Town can get quite cold. No load-shedding happened during my recent trip, but there was a decent supply of candles just in case. Farah was a good host, and quick to respond to any questions.
