Lindy is an amazing host. She was always available and extremely helpful.
Her place is perfect for a couple who are looking for a weekend getaway or a 2 week holiday. It is centrally located and close to some lovely restaurants and the Cape Town nightlife. It is right opposite the company gardens for evening walks or picnics. It is clean and has a lovely view of the internal gardens of St Martini. It is on the ground floor which is nice for ease of access.
My wife and I stayed here for the month of September while our flat was being renovated. Here are some of the things you may want to know:
- the place comes with one underground parking spot. I organized a second spot next door for an extra fee of R1000 for the month (Lindy helped to put me in contact).
- The place is smaller than the pictures suggest. It is essentially a one room apartment.
- The bathroom has recently been redone and is very nice
- The kitchen didn’t have everything we needed for a month of living and cooking. We brought our own microwave and the table top space was tight. The oven was tricky to use but Lindy helped us out once again. There is no dishwasher and a sink with only one basin so it got frustrating at times to wash up.
- The king size bed was very comfy
- There is a communal laundry room. Each wash is 5x R5 and each dry another 5 x R5. Lindy was generous enough to offer to wash the linen and towels during our stay.
- Cupboard space was a very tight squeeze for 2 people for a month stay.
- We didn’t have any noise issues. The place was quiet and lovely.
Overall we had a very nice stay at Lindy’s place. Thanks again for all your help Lindy!
