Karin's place was absolutely fabulous. I came to Cape Town for work and stayed at the Westin during the week, so I only had a long weekend at Karin's. I wish I could have stayed there the whole week - I found it more comfortable than the Westin! The studio is cozy, well appointed, and immaculately clean. The shower had great water pressure and the bed was comfortable. I loved watching the birds and tortoises in her garden while having my morning coffee. Another nice touch was the bookshelf full of South Africa travel guides and maps. That, combined with Karin's great local tips, contributed to a few great days of sightseeing!
