Look no further, I highly recommend this fantastic home in Cape Town! It was a great home away from home for our group of 5!
Our family has stayed in many Airbnb accommodations and this was by far the best! From the moment that I first contacted Anne until we left, everything went smoothly & it was a fantastic experience for the 10 nights that we stayed there. Anne is not only a lovely person but she is gracious, accommodating and extraordinarily helpful. When I asked her for assistance, she helped me plan our SA trip and provided numerous, helpful recommendations and tips that made our trip a wonderful experience. Her kindness and assistance far exceeded my expectations for an Airbnb host/hostess.
Anne has been renting her upstairs unit since last February. We were her first guests to rent the entire house + the upstairs unit (so don't be put off by the lack of reviews). Anne arranged airport pick up for us (without me having to ask) which made our arrival a breeze! She generously stocked the house with breakfast foods, fresh fruits, juice, milk, muffins, coffee and even wine! Our family of 4 and my mother-in-law were quite comfortable in her lovely home. We stayed with one of our teenagers in the upstairs room. It has a king sized bed, bathroom with good water pressure and a balcony where I enjoyed my morning coffee with a beautiful view of Table Mountain. My other teenager happily stayed in a small study room downstairs with a bathroom outside of the room with excellent water pressure. My mother-in-law stayed in Anne's downstairs bedroom which has an ensuite bathroom with a shower and bathtub. Anne has a beautiful garden off the kitchen/dining room with a pool with a seating area where we lounged in the evenings and mornings.
The neighborhood feels quite safe and it is very central to everything. We rented a car (which we kept in the garage) and from Anne's house we could easily get everywhere we wanted to go in and around Cape Town. You can also walk from Anne's house around Newlands and quickly get to good restaurants and cafes. There are several Woolworth grocery stores close by where you can stock up on food (our family fell in love with this upmarket grocery store and their great food choices!)
Anne kindly offered to allow our family to store luggage in her home when we drove the Garden Route!
Anne felt more like a friend than an Airbnb host and I was sad to say goodbye to her and her lovely home.
If you are looking for a spacious, comfortable, convenient place to stay in Cape Town, you won't be disappointed with choosing Anne's home!
