Alan’s loft apartment was the perfect place to stay while I was in Cape Town for a week. It’s architecturally cool, but also practical and well-equipped, in a secure building. The location - surrounded by other historic art deco buildings - was a good base from which to explore central Cape Town. Alan was a great host - meeting me at the apartment to explain how everything worked, and providing tips about the neighbourhood. Particularly helpful were suggestions as to local cafes, directions to Company Gardens, and that I make use of Uber cabs to get around. Alan also provided breakfast (juice, cereal, fruit, yogurt) as well as local South African wine. Stunning views of Table Mountain from the ceiling height windows!

The apartment was a fantastic place to stay for my first visit to Cape Town, and Alan is a great host. I would happily return, and recommend the place to friends.
