Alan's space was absolutely beautiful. It was open, and had a perfect clean/fresh feeling. I felt like I was in my own space for the entire duration of our stay. His book of tips and tricks around the city was very helpful and used each day while deciding where to eat and what to see/do. We could tell that he truly cared for his space and took pride in it.
He was also incredibly quick and thorough with his reponses. We had trouble with our flights getting into Cape Town, but upon arrival knew exactly how to check ourselves in. And when we requested a late check-out time he was more than accommodating.
Not to mention the space was ecologically thoughtful. Cape Town was experiencing a drought while we were that (and although we were not accustomed to dealing with such issues in our own home) he left us tips and tricks for us to consciously help with the drought issues. Everything was labeled, organized, and user-friendly.
I can only hope that his space is available for rent the next time I find myself in SA!
