This surely must be the best address in Observatory; if you are travelling alone and are in search of an authentic local experience look no further. Nodi is a wonderfully spirited and embracing host who has, with her two luxuriously lounging cats, made me feel right at home in her comfortably appointed and truly characterfully decorated period house. The location could not be better; while a short stroll near to the abundant services located on Main Street and train station it offers a truly quiet and restful residential stay. All in all one's perfect authentic and convenient base while in Cape Town.
