Elana's spot is really incredible-- as a photographer, the views of Table Mountain and Greenmarket Square did not disappoint; it is a wonderful location with easy access to many Cape Town highlights, and the security scene helped me to feel safe even with heavy gear. Remarkably, as other reviewers have pointed out, it is QUIET (aside from the occasional neighbor door slam, haha) despite being in a busy part of town, and it is a really comfortable spot.
Wish I had had a bit longer here actually to unpack properly, and take advantage of the street photography ops just outside the doorstep (with security precautions of course-- do your research if it's your first South African rodeo).
Coming on foot, I probably should have clarified ahead of time as to exact key location, but instructions were superbly written to the point where I could figure it out without host assistance.
Thanks to Elana-- overall the place was above and beyond what I had hoped for! Lovely
