Matt‘s apartment is Garden is thoughtfully designed and equipped with lots of love and attention to detail.
You can tell that this place is made for people to live there and it comes with „batteries included“ – and for everything which needs its batteries recharged, you‘ll find local adapters in convenient locations, which are compatible with most international plugs.
One of the biggest highlights is the outlook to Table Mountain from the mirrored window in the shadow. It‘s an amazing way to start in your day, taking a shower while looking at this natural monument. You won‘t get tired of it, metaphorically as literally.
Fitting the name of the neighborhood, we found quite a few actual plants, which Matt entrusted to our care. Being responsible for watering on a longer stay was a nice way to connect with where we were and feel a little more home away from home.
Speaking of the neighborhood: the location is super convenient with a great coffee shop, many good outside eating options, a mom-and-pop shop, and even a launderette close-by. Gardens is quite central in Cape Town‘s city bowl, so that Matt‘s place has proven to be a great home base for all adventures thru and out-off the city.
The idea of a traveling library, where guests can swap their read books for books they find intriguing creates connection beyond and was indeed a wonderful inspiration to read more again.
When we had any questions, Matt was super quick to respond and proactive to help us out. He is an amazing host who goes out of his own to make sure you have a wonderful experience.
