Helga was a terrific and thoughtful host, who was very accommodating especially considering our last-minute planning.

The apartment has a warm, comfortable vibe, with everything you could ever need within arms reach. Neat and tidy — it was truly a home away from home. Not only that, but it has spectacular scenic views of Table Mountain and Lion's Head; great for seeing if the weather is good for a trip up the cableway, or as a backdrop to your morning coffee.

The apartment is in a perfect central location, only a short taxi drive away from Table Mountain and the V&A Waterfront, with restaurants just around the corner.

We would definitely want to stay here again the next time we find ourselves in Cape Town.
