If you are staying in Cape Town for a while it is a really good idea to stay in different places, and for me the Newlands area worked well, so handy for Kirstenbosch Gardens, for cricket at Newlands (and rugby, which is next door) but also for driving to other parts of the city and beyond, as Judy's house is in a very secluded road but close to main roads. A car is pretty much essential, I would say. The accommodation is tucked away in a beautiful back garden and very comfortable, secure and well appointed and Judy and James were really helpful and generous to me, their first Airbnb guest!
