Staying at Helen’s place while in CapeTown was amazing. Having the chance to enjoy all of the amenities her place had to offer was definitely worthwhile. Also, a honorable mention is Helen’s place is located 25-30 minutes from downtown. Her location is in a nice residential area of CapeTown where there are local bars, grocery stores, and a near by mall. If your traveling to anywhere in Africa just make sure you are aware of Load-shedding. My brother and I were not aware prior to coming to CapeTown, so everyday throughout our trip we had to endure electricity being off 3x throughout the day. Load shedding is something that happens all throughout Africa so it’s impossible to get around it unless you stay in a hotel. Besides that I have no complaints. I truly can say I enjoyed my 2 weeks at Helen’s home.
