This apartment offers an accommodating setting and superb location for exploring Cape Town's many treasures. The neighborhood has an urban, creative vibe with its great mix of locals and tourists. Many of Cape Town's best attractions, museums, restaurants, coffee shops and pubs are within easy walking distance.

Jean is an incredibly gracious host and thoughtfully does the "little things" which can make a stay (in my case three months) more comfortable, such as personally delivering an extra quilt during a cold stretch of winter weather.

The 24-hour building security is very good. As with any high-rise apartment building, you can expect more noise from neighbors than you would in a stand-alone property, so gauge your expectations accordingly if you are seeking a more reclusive place to stay.
