My stay at Laetitia's was awesome. I'd never stayed on the same property as an AirBnB host before, but she has been so helpful and accommodating. I had all sorts of difficulties with lost luggage, but she really helped me by washing my stuff and accepting delivery of my case. She made me feel immediately welcome and safe and kept the little kitchenette stocked too which was great. Definitely a great introduction to my first time in Africa.
The room itself is very cute and really comfortable for the price. The garden is super peaceful and you can see the amazing surrounding mountains of hout bay from the garden. I also made friends with the neighbourhood cat as well, despite not really being a cat person.
Walking to the beach and shops takes a little while but is do-able. Still I would recommend hiring a car or scooter as Ubers in Hout bay can be a bit hit-and-miss, and theres so much beauty to see in the area.
