THE PLACE: a two-bedroom well-appointed apartment. very comfortable beds in both bedrooms. There's a view of Lion's Head from the balcony. Netflix Smart TV, but the normally available internet wasn't working; I was the first person to use the place in months due to the lockdown and had booked last-minute. There was a very deep bathtub with separate shower. I had wanted several long soaks since this is a stressful time, so I had especially asked about the tub before I got there. There is a family-size refrigerator in the kitchen, as well as a dishwasher. There are aircon/heating units. LOCATION: Long Street, in Cape Town CBD. Normally bustling most of the time, but in this era of COVID, eerily quiet. THE HOST: Brad seemed nice, and got everything set up on a moment's notice, which was great. ADDITIONAL TIPS: if you smoke outside, move the table away from the fans for the aircon/heating or the smoke will fill up the place. Book this place when the city is up and running again, or even if you want a quiet getaway the way things are now.
