Mervyn was very communicative throughout the process and the home was in a beautiful neighborhood in a very scenic location with fantastic views from the balcony. We agree with a similar review that the house wasn’t spotless and could probably use a deep clean, but it wasn’t a huge deal. The house was missing some basic amenities like toilet paper, hand soap, bathroom trash cans and sponges to clean dishes. We texted the host about the toilet paper issue hoping he’d tell us some secret closet to find it in, but instead he apologized and asked us to buy some and he would reimburse us. Again, not a huge deal but we only had one day in Cape Town and weren’t using private transportation, so tracking down TP in a taxi wasn’t really in our pretty packed itinerary. Overall though, it’s a beautiful home and the views from every room are stunning. Highly recommend sundowners on the balcony!
