Staying with Marina is like taking a vacation, and you don't want it to end, ever. First of all Vredehoek area is my favorite in Cape Town: quiet and close to everything (Gardens, Table Mountain, Signal Hill, City Center etc).

Secondly the apartment is amazing. Spacious, modern with a traditional touch, you can feel the history in the walls. The room is large and sooo comfortable, featuring a tv and a dvd player; there are also lots of books available to read. The vibe is just great.

And as for Marina herself, rarely have I met someone that eager to do everything she can to make sure her host's stay is as comfy as possible. She is sweet, smart and truly respect your privacy. As a local she is willing to share the culture of her country, that she loves so much.

I would highly recommend her place to all who wish to live a memorable experience in Cape Town. I know I'll come back for sure and stay with her again!
