Nick is a great host. He's nice and very communicative. There were a couple issues in the house during my stay, which could not have been foreseen or planned for, but Nick was super available and took care of business fast.
I was at Nick's place for 28 days. Here's a couple amazing points and things to think about:
Amazing Things:
1. The view from the balcony of the city and Table Mountain: Absolutely incredible
2. Location is close to everything and Uber or Taxify fares are cheap to everywhere because it's so central.
3. Bathtub is huge and awesome.
4. Building has 24 hour security
5. Very close to grocery stores.
Things to Think about:
1. Internet is around 2mb down and 1mb up. For email and basic web browsing this is OK. But if you use internet for video conferencing, skype, or video streaming, the connection will be pretty slow and spotty. I had to get a hotspot from Vodacom
2. It gets cold in apartment in winter and there isn't any heating (there are heating pads in the bed, which helped a lot!)
3. I never felt unsafe on the street, but it's not the most appealing street to walk on at night. During the day, absolutely fine.
Overall, my stay was amazing, Nick was awesome and helpful, and I would definitely, without a doubt recommend this space to anybody looking for an urban Cape Town experience.
