My partner and I were first time visitors to Cape Town and we felt extremely comfortable at Rael's place. Rael's place was centrally located in City Centre and was very safe with two levels of security. Everything is a short uber ride away with Camps Bay Beach being about a 15 minute ride. The Slave Lodge is a short walk up the block and the famous Long Street as well as Greenmarket Square are walking distance or about a 5 minute uber ride if you prefer not to walk.
The apartment was very spacious and looks a tad bit better than the pictures provided. There were two outstanding balconies both downstairs and upstairs with amazing views of Table Mountain. We're so happy that we chose to stay here and will stay again when we come back to Cape Town.
