Although I am a Capetownian, I stayed in Mark's loft for a week in early spring, and can tell you that it affords the most exquisite introduction to Cape Town, and especially the surrounding suburbs and mountain trails. The loft is beautifully and ideally located, with stunning views out over the ocean and over the mountain behind it. Although conveniently located within a few minutes of shops and restaurants, and close to the main road, the loft is quiet and peaceful. Very comfortable and stylish interior, without being pretentious decor - homely. Great selection of books if you staying a few days. Highly recommended.
