This was our first trip to Cape Town and my wife Claudia and I really enjoyed our trip and our stay in Eugene's apartment.
The apartment has security at the entrance and secured off street parking.
Eugene has thoughtfully uploaded many current and classic films to the TV. The TV also has cable, with access to English Premier League games, which was a bonus for me.
The apartment is very stylish and comfortable and importantly for us comes with Wi-Fi.
The apartment represents good value for money and is centrally located for all the hip bars and restaurants on Bree Street. Shops are close by and there is a good Woolworths on Kloof Street. There are plenty of good cafes close by and we would highly recommend Jason's Bakery.
Given its proximity to bars and clubs (including a night club a few doors down), it can be noisy in the evening and especially at weekends. However, given that we were on holiday we did not mind this and it was far outweighed by all of the positive points we had.
We would highly recommend this apartment if you are looking to stay in Cape Town and do not wish to pay the high prices to be near the Waterfront (which can be accessed from the apartment within 5 minutes via Uber).
For getting around Cape Town, we would highly recommend using Uber. You do not need a hire car as there are plenty of organised tours to game reserves, wineries, Cape Point etc.
We would recommend taking one of those red tour buses you see everywhere to Boulders Beach (where you can see the penguins) and Cape Point. This was the best value for money and included a great guide.
If you wish to go to Robben Island, we recommend booking early, as the boats are often cancelled at short notice due to the windy weather that can be experienced in Cape Town. We booked twice and had two cancellations due to the weather.
Best wishes, Sean and Claudia (married couple from Sydney)
