From the moment we arrived in Cape Town, Tom and Grazia were more than accommodating. They helped us find transportation around the city, gave us recommendations on restaurants (and they have excellent taste, by the way!), and helped us organize our weekend sightseeing trips. We were there for an entire month, mostly for business/study on the weekdays and for enjoyment on the weekends. We met many of Tom and Grazia's friends, and they are just as nice and welcoming! The house is in a hipster-ish neighborhood called Observatory, which has some wonderful restaurants and bars within a 5 minute walk. The train station is about a 10-15 minute walk, and the minibuses are easily accessible from main road - so transportation really isn't a problem if you don't have a rental car. We were working at Groote Schuur Hospital for the month, so the house was extremely convenient for us because we could walk to the hospital every day.

Now that we are back home, we miss Tom and Grazia - they are truly wonderful, kind, and good-natured people that became great friends of ours! We highly recommend that you stay with them if you want to meet new people, learn a lot about wine, and have lots of laughs.
