Alex was a top notch host! As Americans traveling to Cape Town for the first time, he was very patient with our figuring out our arrival late at night, answering questions about the area/sightseeing at check in, and kindly accommodating a hiccup (our own fault) at the end of the trip. The building and apartment are very secure, and it was nice to occasionally see Alex in the building elevator.
The location was a great alternative to the V&A waterfront (where many expensive hotels are located), but the waterfront was very accessible when we wanted to be there. We loved waking up to the views of Table Mountain each morning while also having the convenience of the grocery store right across the street. we felt everything we wanted to access was within reach by foot or a cheap Uber. Would happily stay again and recommend to others!
