We‘ve spent a couple of days at Alain‘s place in Cape Town. The area is perfect to explore the City. Nearby supermarkets, very nice bars and restaurants. Kloof, Long and Bree St. are all in walking distance. So no kitchen required since you have the choice between these great restaurants.
The apartment is huge, you‘ve got a nice terrace and a beautiful view on the Table Mountain through the big windows.
Alain and Mary are very nice hosts, I would definitely come back.
