The small room of the flat: a comfortable, no-frills room with everything you need. The private bathroom extension of the room is a big plus. As of Feb 1st, 50 Litres/day/person is the current water restriction all over Cape Town. This is totally doable!
The location: a beautiful, quiet, safe, and non-touristy neighbourhood that's a convenient spot for getting to the more touristy areas. Walking to both Long Street and Kloof Street takes about 30 mins. There is a great little grocery store (Kwikspar) that has everything just a few minutes walking distance from the flat. The MyCiti Bus stop is also very close and especially useful if you don't feel like walking uphill after a day of activity!
The host: a gem. Sherryl lives up to many of the previous stellar reviews about her. She genuinely enjoys connecting with people, cares about your well being, and is very helpful. She's been a mom away from home for me and I know our relationship will continue after AirBnB. Much gratitude Sherryl!!
