Laura was super responsive and warm in her communication from the very beginning. I appreciated her flexibility with my arrival logistics, as well as her helpfulness in orienting me to all that Cape Town has to offer. Although I was only in the city for three days, Laura helped me plan out my hopes and dreams for my visit -- she offered spot-on recommendations for hiking routes, trail runs, local hole-in-the-walls, and off-the-beaten-path activities. Laura was in and out for work and travel, so I basically had the whole place to myself, and what a cozy, well-equipped place Laura's home is! I especially enjoyed the back patio views of Table Mountain, abundant plants, and all the kitchen contraptions Laura made available for my use. All in all, my visit was all that I hoped for, thanks to the hospitality of Laura and the comfort of her fab retro home in a fab hipster neighborhood!
