Josephine is a lovely and attentive host. She was very quick to respond to my questions and even bought a new heater for our baby's room. There are a few issues with the plumbing but Josephine was quick to attend to this and had it solved within a day. The neighbourhood is great for nightlife and easy access to the trendy areas of Cape Town. The house itself is nicely renovated and an excellent option for a large group travelling together. We all felt we had enough space, especially with the two kitchens and living room areas. The beds are comfortable and the cottage is clean and well equipped. The only downside of being downtown in any big city is there are quite a few people asking for money on this street. As the cottage is accessible from the street we definitely had to keep the doors locked and curtains closed as Josephine indicates in the house description. Otherwise people will come right up to the door begging for money. Overall though this is a good option for friends travelling together in Cape Town.
