Birgit's place was incredible! This was my first time in Cape Town and I am traveling alone. She, and her home, made me feel welcomed and safe in a city I knew nothing about. The room was just the right size for me and the bed was comfortable and everything was clean. Birgit also gave me so much great advice and it was enjoyable chatting with her about anything and everything! And the terrace! That was one of the most amazing parts; watching the sun rise and set with table mountain and the city views. I could not have asked for a better place to have spent my first days in Cape Town (and hopefully not my last time)!
