Simon's place was the perfect spot for my first time in Cape Town. It's right on a square in the center of the city, with great bars & restaurants nearby. There's a tourist office two doors down and the hop on hop off bus stops just off the square. I really lucked out -- the night I arrived there was a Cape Town Jazz Festival concert in the square below. So I watched the huge crowd and listened to the great music right from the sixth-floor balcony of the apartment. Simon checked in with me a couple of times just to make sure that my visit was successful. I can't recommend this place highly enough. Cheers!
