Wow. Per-Anders' loft is truly a one-of-a-kind space in the former District 6 in Cape Town's city center. This is not the generic AirBNB kept for investment purposes, rather a lived-in space of a successful photographer of fashion and humanity. Each visitor walks in the front door with mouth agape, first catching site of Per's enormous, dynamic photo of Nelson Mandela captured in 1994 by the door. Every detail of the apartment is carefully constructed to build a beautiful and highly functional space. The fundamentals of a good rental are all there, comfortable beds with nice linens, kitchen with useful counter-space, large couch with a tv with a good sound system, large dining table, large bathrooms, good lighting, fast internet, easy and secure access, etc. The parking garage has a 24/7 attendant and internal access to the apartment on the same level, perhaps 30m from your car to the enormous industrial sliding door that serves as an entrance to the unit. As a host, Per was waiting to meet me on arrival and always answered my questions within a few minutes. Fair warning, this area is loud and the building is old. My next-door neighbors said they couldn't hear any noise I made even when playing music with friends visiting, but I did hear people walking above me in the mornings. The neighborhood is loud during most hours day and night, I think it was only quiet from 3-7am. As a city-dweller I found this comforting, but I know some are more sensitive to that. It is across the street from Truth Coffee which has an outdoor window for a quick cup in the morning and a great brunch menu for when you have a little more time. The Cousins Trattoria, an Italian restaurant three blocks away, is great for dinner (make a reservation). There is a large, nicer Pick n Pay grocery store with a garage about a ten minute walk south on Buitenkant, and Roeland Liquors a block-and-a-half away has a knowledgeable owner and great selection of beer, wine, and spirits. I pray I get the opportunity to visit Cape Town and stay in this exceptional space again.
