After a 24+ hour tiring journey from Paris, I reached Viv's place at 11:45 in the night. Found my room (the snug single room) neat and clean with plenty of clean towels and sheets. Bathroom had a new soap and hand wash. In the communal kitchen (and the two refrigerators), I was given my own shelves with plenty of space. For my welcome hamper, Viv had bought me milk, juice, biscuits, snacks and coffee powder. The next day Viv made us all (me + 3 other airbnb guests) a sumptuous cake!! Awesome..

Sitting in Viv's backyard with Hazy (her dog), you can hear the waves rumbling... so the beach is CLOSE, and beautiful. Not to mention the Muizenberg mountain, visible from Viv's place. Good Stuff..

Coffee shops, restaurants, grocery stores, ATMs, dentists, doctors, belly dance studio, and yes, a barber shop! ... are all within 3-5 minutes walking distance.

Hiked to Table Mountain with Viv's fellow airbnb guests. Took the scenic train ride from Muizenberg to Simon's Town running along the coastline. Pretty cool. I had a superlative stay at Viv's place. Felt right at home.

Whether for a couple of days, or for months... without a doubt I recommend Viv's place (she has four guestrooms!). I hope your reservation at Viv's won't clash with my next ;-)
