The studio was perfect, just like the photos. Bright, very clean and comfortable with everything I needed. Bigger than average bathroom too. It is located on the second floor in the corner of a small block overlooking the President Hotel. The block has a door with an entry code and outside there is a remote control security gate. So its very safe. I rented a car during my stay and left it outside on the road without any issues.

Within walking distance are Spar and a Woolworths food store (very similar to Marks and Spencers in the UK) - there is a cash point/atm there too. Also plenty of places to eat. I would recommend Kleinsky's for breakfast/lunch and the Craft Burger Bar do some awesome burgers as well as local craft beers. I did watch some rugby and football in Brian's bar but it might not be to everyone's taste ;) There is also Strolla bar at the Peninsular Hotel. Laundry is around the corner too and costs just 60 Rand for a weeks worth of clothes.

There is a bus stop outside the apartment but I usually caught the 104 MyCiti bus from the Queens Beach bus stop around the corner. The 104 follows the coastline and takes about 15 minutes to the Waterfront. Also outside the apartment on the opposite side of the road, the 109 and the 108 will take you to Clifton and Camps Bay. Again about 15 minutes.

I would highly recommend getting a 2 day ticket for the Big red bus. The red route and the blue route both stop round the corner by the President Hotel - look for a red sign. These will take you on a circular route to all of the sightseeing spots.

I would also highly recommend the "free" walking tours from the Long Street office of the big red bus - they are very informative and interesting - about 2 hours each.

If you are planning on travelling further afield, then grab a copy of the free coast to coast guide from one of the backpacker hostels. My favourite places were Wild Spirit Backpackers in Natures Valley (you have to stay there), Backpacker Paradise Oudsthoorn and Orange Elephant Backpackers in Addo.

And finally, Sladjana was an excellent host! Super friendly and chatty. Very responsive to communications too. Sladjana and her sister were both lovely and very kindly took me out a few times too.

Highly recommended.
