Avril was our saviour, agreeing to host us on a Sunday evening within moments of receiving my request. A short Uber ride from the airport and we were in Observatory, a really buzzing neighbourhood full of bohemian feeling bars, cafes and restaurants, with lots of character and friendly folks. The room and house was great, two comfy beds, a good shower and so on. Avril made us feel welcome straight away and provided us with all the info we needed. Exploring Observatory on the second day was a real pleasure (no idea with the Rough Guide only warrants it a single paragraph). We would stay here again if we were in Cape Town. Recommended, just what Airbnb is all about. Thanks Avril!
