We go to Cape Town once or twice every year and always stay in the Greepoint area due to its great proximity to the Waterfront, City Centre, Seapoint and if our timing is right, great sporting events at the stadium. The flat is literally two to three minutes walk from an excellent Woolworths food store, a fantastic deli called Giovanni's as well as loads of pubs and restaurants. Busy and hip!
The flat is spotlessly clean and clearly well maintained. It's in an older building, but this just adds to the character with gorgeous old wooden floors and traditional sash windows. You feel like you're a local.
To be clear, this is obviously a home and not a designer apartment so some amenities like air conditioning and wifi are not included, but for the price this makes sense although Aulden did say that they have applied for a broadband connection. It's great value for money even without wifi.
This time we were just passing through Cape Town but next time we stay, especially if it's for a longer period where the costs can really mount up, we'll definitely stay at Aulden's again.
PS: Thanks for the tips about Uber pick-up points.
