Do not hesitate, this is the place to book in Cape Town. This is by far the highest quality Airbnb I have stayed at (user since 2015). I have never met hosts so charming, welcoming, and giving as Gavin and Balti.
We arrived to Cape Town as complete first-timers to the continent of Africa, anxious about safety and also physically ill/exhausted from weeks of travel. Gavin & Balti took us in, shared their beautiful home, gave us advice, settled our nerves, and completely looked after us at the lowest point of our travels.
The Airbnb itself is also wonderfully unique and full of character, reflecting the eclectic interests of the hosts. Fans of anything from steampunk/retro gadgetry to the tranquility of zen Buddhism will not be disappointed (a yoga mat is provided in your room!). The location is very safe, and the perfect position a stone's throw away from Table Mountain and the downtown area.
If you need a place that feels like home, comfort & safety in a strange place, this is it.
