It is such a pleasure to recommend Leyden house! Having spend a lot of time in Cape Town over the past several years I feel lucky to be able to offer what I consider a very strong assessment of Leyden House. First off, it is a highly secure property (with coveted garage parking!), perched high above the neighborhood of Gardens. From the over-sized balcony you will enjoy stunning views of Table Mountain without noticing the hustle of the main street. The property location is nothing short of PERFECT. You are steps away from the fashionable Bree street with amazing chic-yet-approachable bakeries, cafes, restaurants, bars, and uniquely curated shops. It's a short walk from the Gardens neighborhood with lots of the same, including a full grocery shop and my favorite wine shop in Cape Town. The adjacent Bo-Kaap neighborhood is unique and stunning with its bright colors. If you don't drive, you will have an Uber at your door in two minutes to take you anywhere you would want to go outside of walking distance in a flash. When you return home from a wondrous day in the Mother City you will relax in the unique and sharply appointed Leyden House. You will relax on modern yet comfortable furniture, sleep in plush beds, and enjoy high quality towels that will gear you up for your next adventurous day. If you are the type to cook while on holiday, you will be more than comfortable in the expansive and well-equipped modern kitchen. Additionally, the flat is very large and spread out over two levels which gives you comfortable privacy and space from your fellow guests should you need it. Most of all you will enjoy Betty's impeccable hospitality--we traveled from the States and SO appreciated her incredible flexibility on late arrival and departure given the very long journey! You absolutely cannot go wrong staying at the Leyden House: great host, perfect location, and stunning space!
