Everything was lovely! The whole house is very stylish and clean, and having the company of an adorable rabbit made my stay even more charming. Andrew was a great host, inviting me to a few social outings and providing recommendations for local restaurants. I did have a few logistical hiccups - first, since I was only in Cape Town a few nights, I did not buy a local SIM card (and could not buy an international data plan with my home cell provider), and so had to scramble (by borrowing someone else's phone) to manage last-minute communication about how to access the house. Also, while WiFi is available, the house walls are stone and so connectivity is poor in the room itself, which made for a lot of interruptions when I was FaceTiming home. And finally, I had booked a shark cage dive that required I be picked up at 4am (!). My intention was to not disturb others in the house, so I went outside as quietly as I could a few minutes early to wait for the van, but this ended up causing all kinds of disruptions to both Andrew and his neighbors with concerns about my safety, and resulted in me coming back into the house to wait anyway. All of these were ultimately minor issues, but just FYI for those planning similar activities.
All in all, it was a nice stay in a great location with a warm and friendly host.
