This is one of the best airbnbs we have stayed at around the world . Why?
LOCATION The roof top apartment is on the edge of laid back and cool Kalk Bay. Capetown attractions are just a drive away but Kalk is a lovely base with good places to eat and wander. The apartment has wonderful sea views one way, stunning mountain views the other. Mark's house is in a quiet steep cul de sac with safe parking on the street and you can stroll in to Kalk - for a supermarket, though, you have to drive 5 minutes to Fishhoek.
AMENITIES The apartment is so light and airy with plenty of space in the living/bedroom area and big bathroom. The small balcony off the kitchen area is an added bonus, gets sun all afternoon. Clean and well furnished, the apartment is comfortable and stylish without being twee! We appreciated the welcome bowl of fruits, the wine, milk in the fridge, fresh coffee, condiments.
INFORMATION Mark has provided an excellent summary of how everything works, local recommendations and attractions further afield. He often works from home in the main house and was always on call by text or in person to answer queries. He was welcoming but never intrusive, and there is a separate entrance to the apartment once you are through the front door.
We stayed for 3 days and wish we could have made it longer; there is much to do and see locally plus the apartment is a lovely place to hang out anyway. Very highly recommended.
