We had a great stay at Max's place in Cape Town. The neighborhood was really the perfect location for us to stay during our visit. Walking distance to the waterfront, as well as some cute bars and restaurants in the area that seemed to be populated by the locals. A grocery store was also easily accessible.
The apartment was very clean and nicely furnished, if a bit sparse. The only real issue we had was with the internet. There wasn't a router there when we arrived, but max acted quickly to get one for us the next morning. The WiFi was slow and not always functional, but I think Max did eveything he could to help.
He was a really great host, even arranging transport from the airport for us, as well as a sight seeing tour, and giving us some great recommendations for things to do and places to eat.
Over all the apartment was a great deal.
