My wife and I spent the Christmas and New Year's Holidays at the Seaview Loft Apartment!

Birgit is a wonderful host always a phone call away to answer any question or fixing any issue; she is very flexible and understandable, and made us feel as we were at home! As per her recommendation, we rented a car and it was one of the best decision we made.

The communication with her was clear and straight. When we sent the booking request, she reviewed it and replied in less than 24 hours. On arrival date, we were supposed to land into Cape Town airport around midnight but due to a delay clearing immigration at Johannesburg International airport that affected us as well as more than 40 additional passengers flying in the same flight, the connecting flight ended up landing around 2:15 am (but without our luggage... ); we finally arrived to the apartment around 4:00 am. Luckily I was able to text her informing about our delay and she replied indicating where to pick up the keys, giving instruction on how to enter the flat and asking to call her if any issue.

The flat looked as advertised: spotless and with a very comfortable bed! Location is perfect: we love hiking and just 120 meters away is one of the entrances to climb Table mountain (we loved this route up to the top, not only for the beautiful views that we enjoyed every step of the way but also for the many people we met who were going up or in their way down); 90 minutes walk to Signal Hill (passing by Lions Head hike start); 5 minutes drive to restaurants, supermarkets and the beach in Camps Bay area; less than 15 minutes drive to Cape Town downtown area and V&A Waterfront; 25 minutes drive to Canal Walk Shopping Centre; less than 30 minutes drive to the airport; and less than 90 minutes drive to the wineries in Franchhoek and Stellenbosch areas!

The flat had everything we needed, from all the kitchen stuff to bed and toilet essentials! The kitchen has an electrical stove and oven; there is a small fridge and a washer machine; the WIFI works great (my wife had an accident in one of our hikes and we had to stay at the flat for few days until she felt better; we ended up using the internet connection for more time than we had planned and did not have any problem) as well as the TV and radio.

We would like to thank Birgit for allowing us to stay at her flat, for giving us such a warm welcome gift (we enjoyed every drop!!) and for being so flexible and understandable with all the requests and questions we had during our stay; we did have a wonderful time!!

We are recommending this place to all our friends and looking forward to go back again in the next opportunity!!
