This was my first experience using airbnb and I was skeptical and anxious at first, however after staying 9 days at Nelia's studio I can honestly say that I will never stay at a hotel again. Nelia was a great host who met me ontime and was gracious enough to stock some 'traditional' SA snacks for me in the kitchen. Her place was perfect located in the heart of the city...4 mins walk to CTICC and 15-20 mins walk to the Waterfront. The apartment was clean, well kept and even has a direct view of Lion's head mountain which was a welcome surprise when I woke up that first morning. There is a bus station right outside her complex which made traveling around even easier and Nelia gave me a bus card so that I only had to add money to it. She left plenty of travel brochures in the apartment to assist with sight seeing. It was a wonderful experience for me and I felt completely safe the entire time even though anxious before getting there. I will be going back in the future and referring all of my friends to her studio.
