This is a lovely studio apartment that lives up to the photos and description. The design aesthetic is modern and comfy. The check-in process was super easy and the concierge was very helpful and friendly. Richenda was also a great host, offering lots of help and came to the apartment to make a personal welcome. While the apartment is stylish and lovely, it is in an older, dated building but nothing terrible and not a deal breaker. But don’t expect a luxury condo building.
The neighbourhood is well situated in relation to the Seapoint boardwalk - which is awesome as it runs for a number of kilometres - and also for the main road which is packed with restaurants and supermarkets.
That said, this end of Seapoint is a bit gritty still, even as the area is quickly gentrifying. The building itself is probably known as a place where tourists stay as there is medium level of loitering outside the front gate. As with all of Cape Town, you need to be very aware of your personal security at all times. Overall, I always felt safe but annoyed by the loitering. I made my way to the Main Street quickly and avoid quiet side streets.
