Wilford is a very courteous, kind and thoughtful superhost. From our first interactions I was immediately impressed by his timeous responses. He was attentive to my needs and although the property was not available initially for the entire period that I needed it to be, Wilfred changed a few things around to make sure that I was able to get the complete itinerary and stay that I needed by going out of his way to arrange cleaning and check in on the requested date. What I appreciated most was that he was very concise and clear in his communications, did not build anything up and was candid about the situation so that I could manage my expectations as I planned as well but as soon as he was able to accommodate me he was swift in letting me know to avoid me spending unnecessary money and having logistical problems. The apartment is so well positioned in Canal Walk within a stone’s throw distance from the mall and a plethora of restaurants, dining and shopping options for a casual or a business tourist or visitor to Cape Town. Whether you’re just having a couple of free days holiday or combining it with some business as I was doing, you cannot go wrong with this apartment. Further to this, Wilfred’s sister Cheryl kindly reached out to me soon after I had checked in to see that I had everything I needed and also let me know that she lived within a short driving distance if I needed a top up of any linens or even needed to just ask anything and get help during my stay. I felt well cared for and able to get assistance with any issues within a matter of minutes. I divided my time working at the apartment remotely but also was able to go to the Bootleggers just around the corner to enjoy a couple of meals whilst working in a vibrant atmosphere. The Wi-Fi in Manhattan suites is reliable and steady and very fast which I appreciate it because I work predominantly in virtual spaces demanding absolutely seamless connectivity which I was able to get the entire time. I was staying alone but if I had had company there’s a very comfortable and spacious sleeper couch in the lounge which can easily accommodate an adult and/or a child or 2 children alone. The kitchen is so well-stocked and you even have the luxury of a washer dryer should you need to do any laundry. I have known Cape Town to be very windy and cold but the Manhattan suites are in an insulated building meaning that you can easily maintain your inside temperature and stay warm even without the need for the climate control features included in the property. Most mornings I was able to open my balcony door and enjoy a nice breeze, cool air and the sounds of the canal which felt very tropical and peaceful. I had a coffee overlooking the canal and table mountain in the distance every single morning which was very therapeutic as well. The kitchen is so well-stocked that you can easily dine and cook and entertain a few guests as there is adequate crockery, glassware, cutlery and a full-size refrigerator and stove. I tried Uber eats a couple of times and it was very easy for the delivery service to locate the apartment. The condo itself is in a secure area and has 24/7 concierge service at the front desk as well as a secure fob system for entry and exit. It was a particular treat to have the underground free parking spot at my disposal as well. This especially came in handy when my friends came to visit and we were able to use the parking spot as all the local parking was taken up on the day we visited the monthly night market. What an electric vibe! Live music, drinks and an excellent array of food trucks and corners with savoury and sweet delights in a charming atmosphere just a few minutes walk from the apartment. Thank you so much for the tip Wilfred! I would recommend both this accommodation and the host without hesitation. Total value for money. By day one of my best and smoothest Airbnb stays! The property is also absolutely clean both from the foyer entrance, elevators and throughout the apartment itself. Plenty of storage for luggage and clothing and a spacious bathroom with a luxurious 2 man-shower! Would book again and again. Five stars from me!
