We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Mowbray. The place was well situated near main roads/highways, making it easy to access different parts of Cape Town quickly. Although the neighborhood did not feel overly safe, we felt secure within the apartment. There are two gates that auto-lock behind you before you even reach the front door, and security cameras provide peace of mind.
Conveniences included phone cords, coffee beans in the grinder, games, and a wine rack with fairly priced wine. It was nice to have a laundry on site, although some clothes did blow off the lines without clothespins available.
The neighborhood guide is well written: trust it! If a spot is not recommended, don’t go. We made the mistake of trying one of the local restaurants and discovered immediately why it was left off the sheet.
Overall, we were quite happy with our stay. Brent was an accessible and hospitable host. Would stay again!
