Xiaoyu's place was perfect! I stayed here after the end of a 2-month school program in Cape Town, and it was so nice finishing my trip in peaceful Clifton. I felt like I was really able to relax here and enjoy the ocean and the view--even in the winter!
The space itself was very comfortable and had great amenities. Clifton Beach area is very quiet and mostly residential (I stayed alone and felt very safe in the building) but restaurants, shopping, etc. are close by in Camps Bay and Seapoint. I highly recommend this location!! I would just warn travelers who have mobility issues that this is not the spot for you as there are a number of stairs and tighter corners--I was trying to imagine my parents in this space and it would not work well for them.
