This is a great place for short stays (1-3 days) but not ideal for longer stays. Starting with all the good things:
1. Excellent location, easy access to the V&A and other landmarks. Close to nice restaurants, safe and convenient while quiet.
2. Spacious and well equipped apartment and building.
3. Great host. Very responsive and caring. Always tried to solve any issues that came up during our stay.
The reasons I would not recommend it for longer stays are;
1. Lack of natural light. Neither the second bedroom nor the kitchen have windows. There is no natural light, which becomes very tiring after a while, especially with the many electricity cuts per day that Cape Town experiences.
2. Air conditioning thermostat. The air conditioning works well but it is not possible to properly regulate the temperature of the living areas vs. bedrooms. You are either freezing or melting
3. No electricity power plant. Always ask this question for longer stays in Cape Town.
