We arrived at the Cape Town airport in the evening after a long travel day and was happy to be met and picked up by Connell. He drove us to the apartment and pointed out the sites along the way. He showed us around the apartment and how to operate the appliances including the washer/dryer. He made a good point about not needing to cook much in the apartment because there are so many places to eat in the neighborhood. The next morning we took his advise about going to the Food Lovers' Market on the Square, and found a amazing food hall with great prepared food, groceries, and bakery.
The location of the apartment is centrally located and good for exploring Cape Town. We walked to both the Waterfront and the Company Gardens. Long, Loop, and Bree streets are close by and good for shopping and eating/drinking. On Long Street is a stop for the Hop On Hop Off bus. We took the scenic Peninsula Tour and we saw the beautiful bays and mountains.
