Douglas is a wonderful host who made me very comfortable in his home. I was very happy and had all the necessary home comforts. His home, a beautiful place, close to all amenities is ideal to use as a base while you go out and explore Cape Town. If you stay local however it is 3 minutes walk to the beach & a 20 minute walk to the closest shopping mall. As a single female traveler I felt safe to walk in the day time & use Uber at night.
Many people use Uber here which is very inexpensive, less than €2 for most local trips.
