I am originally from Cape Town and I stayed at Alex's place for 3 nights/4 days at the beginning of February 2016.

The apartment is perfectly located on bustling Kloof Street, which has so many coffee shops and restaurants to choose from, I could not fit all of them in this visit - did make it to Manna Epicure for breakfast and loved walking down to Vida e Caffe for a coffee every morning. The apartment has sweeping views of downtown Cape Town and is perfect for accessing everything that Cape Town has to offer from Table Mountain, Lion's Head, Camps Bay and Clifton beaches to downtown Cape Town (try 95 Keerom for dinner) and the world famous Waterfront - seafood or sushi at Willoughby is a must.

The apartment itself looks exactly as in the photos: it is spacious and bright with lots of natural light coming in. Great views of the city and view of Table Mountain from the street. Comfortable beds, great shower, I did not really use the kitchen but it comes well-equipped. Satellite TV channels, fast and stable internet connection, which can sometimes be a challenge in South Africa. Very good security, there was secure parking for my car. I visited Cape Town during a heatwave (close to 40 Celsius temperatures) and the apartment became a little hot in the late afternoon. The southeaster (famous wind) can sometimes pump in Cape Town and can be particularly bad in the City Bowl but it does blow in other places too, including Camps Bay.

It was very easy communicating with Alex, check in/out went smoothly. He responded promptly when I experienced problems with the internet - I put the password in without a capital letter. All in all, I can recommend Alex's place - a great place to stay and to explore wonderful Cape Town.
