Clean, spacious, chic, perfect location. Blah, blah, blah. I'm just a simple traveler looking for a place to crash so it doesn't really matter.
In my opinion, the main factor that makes your stay an enjoyable one has to be the host herself, and in this case, Katia simply nailed it. And for that I salute her. Conversations with her via e-mail her was lovely. As I was arriving into Cape Town late evening she arranged for a transfer from the airport. And when I got to the apartment, there she was, receiving me with a warm smile. She even got me a bottle of wine, though I don't take alcohol the gesture was much appreciated.
She gave a detailed tour of the apartment, gave some tips about the city, and some recommendations on what to do. You can tell that she genuinely wants to make your stay an enjoyable one and is willing to offer her assistance in whatever way possible.
I think it's just a matter of time before her status changes to "Superhost".
I had a lovely time in Cape Town and Katia was one of the reasons for that. Two thumbs up. Five stars out of five. Would definitely recommend.
