This is the perfect place for a long stay in the city. The apartment is well equipped with everything a person(s) needs for a long stay. The location works well for those who wish to see or do the many things available in Cape Town. Getting to the V&A Waterfront, the museums, the castle, the restaurants and numerous cafes is simple from this vantage point. You do need to be somewhat aware of where you are and who is around you in the city, as you would in most any other major city in the world. We felt totally safe in the apartment and this space creates some serenity in a busy and bustling area. If you like the activity of business and people and culture, but need some solace at night, this apartment is the place to be. The sofa and the kitchen table downstairs and the writing space upstairs present opportunities to stretch out and do what needs to be done. There is a little bit of street noise at night and in the morning, but we did not hear a single loud fire engine or police siren the entire week, as you might in other locations around this city or any central location. I would suggest researching and contacting a nearby laundry service to do that work for you and to simplify your visit if you are staying a week or more. We found the apartment to be nice, big, light, clean, and airy. Everything was well attended to and in good working condition. The contact with the hosts was simple. We arrived later than expected without our passwords in hand, and yet Kath was patient with us and assisted us with our check-in. That said, it would be helpful for you to have the necessary entry codes and information on hand. I highly recommend this apartment for your Cape Town visit.
