Helga's place is great.
Helga was there to meet us on check in, showed us round and left with a gift pack of juices, fruit, tea, coffee and biscuits.
We love Salt River: it's really convenient for Cape Town's sites and beaches and the Biscuit Mill is on your doorstep. The neighbourhood is definitely up and coming but may not be for everyone.
I'd definitely recommend a short stay here.
