We enjoyed staying at Brent's place. He was truly accommodating. We stayed for two months and he made sure we had everything we needed including a grill/braii and opening the adjacent studio apartment for us to use so we had more space.
We ended up hiring Sympatique weekly for cleaning and he was truly helpful and great to have around in general.
The grocery store and restaurants are all within walking distance, which is nice. And if you have a kid there's a park with a playground across the street. And if you enjoy walking there is a large park Rondebosch Common just down the street.
Overall it was a positive experience.
