Amanda’s communications were excellent. The flat is bright and spacious. Situated in the heart of trendy De Waterkant with bars, coffee shops and art shops there is never a dull moment and the area has a vibrant village feel. Loads of apartment development and construction going on. The property is within easy walking distance of Bo Kaap and downtown. Gym available directly across the road and two crossfit gyms nearby. V&A waterfront not far and also walkable. Though to be honest, Uber is so cheap in SA virtually anywhere is easily accessible at minimal cost. We have been to Cape Town three times and never needed to hire a car, even for e.g. Camps Bay or as far as Constantia. If you want to longer trips eg Franschhoek or Stellenbosch again we would recommend hiring a driver over renting a car (and we can recommend a firm). We really enjoyed De Waterkant and would stay here again.
