I can only recommend staying at Shevy's place. He was the best host I ever had and the apartment and the location are just perfect!
I stayed with Shevy for 2 months and I felt at home directly. He helps you with everything you need, gives you advice on safety and tips for restaurants, he is open-minded and always up for a chat, a hike or a dinner. He also took me to play beach volleyball with his friends which I enjoyed a lot. At the same time he respects your privacy and you never feel uncomfortable while staying here.
The apartment is located in a safe area of the city and in a safe building with a security service you can call if you arrive late and feel insecure. You can easily stay here as a female solo traveler. During the day you can walk to a lot of shops, restaurants, the promenade and the V & A Waterfront (~20 minutes to the Waterfront). The mycitibus departs directly right outside the door.
The place is super clean and tidy. The room is big enough for one person especially because you can use the shared areas of the apartment at any time. During my stay, his daughter was in Japan, so he rented another room on airbnb and I made new friends during this time.
Thank you so much Shevy for this amazing stay, hope to see you again soon - in Cape Town or in Germany where you are always welcome!
