This was our first Airbnb rental, and though Lance already had glowing reviews, we weren't sure what to expect. We needn't have worried. From Lance's friendly greeting when we checked in, to the stunning views, to the cleanliness, to all the space and the amenities in the property, everything was better than we expected. Our 2nd question for Lance (after the obligatory "how are you?") was to ask if we possibly extend our stay - but it wasn't to be as there was a booking following us. I am glad I booked when I did.
We were traveling as a family of six, so all the space came in very handy. Having 2 very active and noisy girls with us meant that having the pool room as a separate space for them was a welcome break for (or from) the adults, and even though it was a bit cool as per the season, they loved dipping their toes in the pool. As it was a short visit to Cape Town for us (3 nights), the proximity of the property to all the places you would expect and to the Waterfront in particular was great. There are a couple of supermarkets within easy driving distance, and Lance left a pack with some excellent local tips. Our feeling that we should have been to Cape Town year ago was greatly reinforced!
One pleasant surprise was having a garage with an automatic door that could easily accommodate our 2 rental cars. We quickly learnt that it's best to drive forward into it (and reverse out of it) as otherwise the lip of the road may cause damage to the front of the car, but with caution this is easily avoided.
For our first use of Airbnb, this rental has set expectations that it may be hard for others to meet in the future. Thanks again Lance.
