simon's house is elegant and feels warm and inviting. so many plants and greenery abound. it's a very calm space accentuated by sitting on the covered veranda in the front yard. the private bathroom is truly luxurious and the bedroom is quiet and comfortable. simon himself is a gracious host and kindly brought me along on a few hikes. you'll hear him playing guitar beautifully throughout the day as well as the kalimba which adds nicely to the ambiance of his home. the location is perfect in observatory, it feels 100% secure and it's about a two minute walk from all the cafes, restaurants, shops, and grocery stores. i'd certainly stay here again.
