I would definitely recommend a stay in Avril's house. She is very flexible about check-in and check-out, which was very helpful for me as I was depending on a ride from someone else to get there. Her house is spotless and the room is cosy and very comfortable. She lives within walking distance of the lively shops and restaurants of Main Street, Obs. I really liked the vibe of her neighbourhood, it was nice to just walk around and people-watch, and it was safe enough to walk around on my own at night - a huge pro for single women travelling in South-Africa, where this is not always the case. So thanks, Avril, for a pleasant stay - I will be back should I travel to Cape Town again, and will definitely be staying longer!
