We had a fantastic time at Helga's place. She was a great host...she was warm and accommodating, left a card, snacks, and wine to welcome us, and had stocked the place with supplies including coffee pods and milk. We found the apartment in great condition and beautifully decorated, and it looked exactly as it does in photos. It would be a great place to stay in winter as it gets a ton of light (though this did make it warm during the recent extreme heat wave). It was also very convenient to have access to a washing machine and self-catering kitchen facilities, and be able to walk to the bars, restaurants, and shops of Kloof street. My mom and sister had a wonderful experience for their first time in Cape Town, and my husband and I would definitely come back (and probably will as we live in Johannesburg and are in Cape Town a few times a year). Highly recommended.
