This was one of the best Airbnbs that I've stayed in-- and I travel a LOT for work, across many countries. Highlights for me:
The space and amentites:
- So thoughtfully designed, in decor and in functionality. It really felt like a liveable space that had been thought through, rather than just a semi-functional short-term-stay space. I wish I could live in this studio!
- The kitchen is petite but very well-stocked with all implements I needed to cook for myself
- Wood-burning fireplace (with firewood provided!) was perfect for chilly winter nights
- Bed was super comfortable, with lovely linens and pillows
- Loved the Bose bluetooth speaker that I could connect my phone to super easily
- Shower and bathroom were beautiful, and lots of natural light
- Fast wifi, and connection was very an issue. I took video calls for work etc from there.
Location and neighborhood:
- The studio is tucked up on a hill, with a lovely view of a tree-filled hill and the city. From the bed, all I could see were trees from every window, and the so many birds chirping in the morning. Heavenly.
- It's a 5m walk from an adorable neighborhood cafe and a 15-20m walk to Kloof st (or 5m uber ride). I felt safe walking back in the evening as a solo female traveler.
- Very close to walking/running trails - I loved going trail running in the mornings.
- It was very quiet at night and serene in the mornings
Wonderful host:
- Clare left yummy snacks and fruits upon my arrival, which was super super helpful for the first morning there and settling in (thank you, Clare!)
- She was responsive, communicative throughout, and gave me wonderful recommendations for Cape Town
Highly recommended, especially for solo female travelers. I hope I can come back soon to stay in this lovely studio again!
