Highly, highly recommended. It's better even than the photos on the profile and May is a truly wonderful host. The enclosed and beautiful front yard is perfect for letting children run around without worry (we have a one- and a two-year old). The views are great and you can see everything even from the back of the living room.
The apartment itself is light and airy. It's well furnished, modern and very clean. May is the quintessential host with plenty of advice and nice service touches, but never too much.
Simon's Town is a nice little town half way between Cape Town and the Cape of Good Hope. It's on the east side of the peninsula so is warmer than the west side. The 45-minute drive to Cape Town is scenic and never seems a burden when you want to explore the city for a day.
A relatively short walk or even shorter drive brings you to the beach where the penguins have made their home. Our kids loved seeing them wander around the beach.
You'll definitely need to rent a car unless you plan to rarely leave the apartment. We rented from Budget at the airport and had great service. Especially for Americans, remember that South Africa drives on the left side of the road.
May's place was a highlight of our vacation and we have been recommending it to all of our friends.
