My husband and I met with Brett for a 1-week stay (week one of our 2-week honeymoon in South Africa). Brett mentioned that he lives locally, so he was able to offer us up some dining/sight recommendations, which were especially helpful, as this was our first visit to South Africa and we're from the States.

He was readily available to field a question my husband had about the laundry, and resolved the issue promptly (the machine itself was fine).

The apartment is oceanfront, which was always a great way to start the morning off. Parking is secure and guarded, and we never once felt unsafe. It was secluded enough that you didn't feel like you were "in the city", but getting to the action was just a 10 minute drive away. Waking up a very early, opening the shades/doors, and laying back down for a nap until a 'normal' waking hour was how we started most of our days. The ambient noise of waves and the breeze were the best. The WiFi signal is a bit weak in certain rooms, as the router is located in the lobby of the connected hotels, but we weren't there to be on the internet all week, so it was a non-issue.

When he saw us off, he offered us some of his homemade soaps (which we tried out from the smaller sized one he left with us at the start of our stay).

Excellent host, excellent apartment -- we'll be coming back in a year or so, and hopefully rebooking here!
