Helena and her family were extremely kind and welcoming from the beginning. A friend of mine had stayed with them previously and highly recommended them and now I know why! Helena was responsive and kind and she and her husband, Jaime, did what they could to ensure that I was comfortable and could get what I needed. At the time I arrived, it was extremely cold in Cape Town, they not only had made sure there were extra blankets around and a hot water bottle, but also brought in a heater for me to help keep me warmer at night. They also recommended places for me to get proper boots to keep warm.

Helena and Jaime also cooked up delicious and healthy breakfasts upon request. It made my first few days extra convenient. They also are able to help do laundry, upon request. Both are for a nominal extra fee.

The location of the studio apartment is great! There is a private, secure entrance and the neighborhood is wonderful. There are multiple shops not too far away, and it is also easy to get around on Uber or with a rental car.

The area is nice, safe and quiet during the day and at night.

I would definitely stay here again!
