Our 8th floor apartment left us with a tremendous view of the city, with lots of lights from BoKaap and downtown. The location was very walkable to the museums.shopping, restaurants, and even wild nightlife, if you are so inclined. We weren't. The men at the door were so friendly and helpful. They were interested in where we were going and when we would be coming back, as we are two older women. Ha. We loved being in the apartment and on the balcony. We slept well, and accept for the electricity outage at scheduled times, we did very well. The shower was great. We recommend to anyone, regardless of how experienced they feel they are as travelers, that you do NOT give your credit card to anyone on the street REGARDLESS of any reason. We did and it is gone. We are very experienced, independent knapsacks spending significant time in over 100 countries and we fell prey to this, and it was not near the apartment. Be Careful!. But this apartment, is just wonderful.
