Mirja was such an exceptional host . My first time doing a long-term stay with AirBnB. Mirja was helpful for the entirety of my stay. She was a great communicator throughout my 1 1/2 month stay. She made sure I had everything I needed and anytime I had a question, she was very responsive. I came during the winter time, and she made sure I had enough blankets and everything to keep me warm. She checked in with me a couple times just to make sure everything was running smoothly.
As far as the accommodation, everything looked just as pictured. The view was even more breathtaking from the balcony. The apartment has every amenity you could need from cooking to doing laundry. The apartment is centered in the Bo Kaap area, which is not only a lovely area aesthetically, but also has a rich history and culture. It is very quiet at night. It is also in proximity to the rest of the city, including Long Street and Kloof Street if you want to do a bar or club at night. Most of the major tourist destinations and beaches are pretty much in driving distance . Ubers are really inexpensive to get around the city. The security requires check-in for all guests, and they make you feel really secure and safe around and about the building you are staying in. 10/10 recommend.
