Hello,

I have been an Airbnb host, and recently qualified for Airbnb Superhost, having hosted over 200 guests and over 60 bookings according to Airbnb.

This was my first guest experience with Airbnb.

Melanie was the perfect host for us. I think that we were her first Airbnb guests.

She opened her home to us for 2 weeks in Cape Town.

We had a private bedroom and bathroom as well as full access to the kitchen, dining, living room, .......and the out door court yard.

Melanie, her daughter Ellie and adorable Pekinese named Panda were collectively inviting, warm, friendly and were genuinely interested in learning a bit about us a well.

We chatted and learned about one another. We invited her to Church on Sunday and vice versa.

Her home was about 12 miles from the city, so it was close to the main attractions, groceries, McD's, KFC, Burger King, Pizza Hut, Canal Walk Mall, wine route, etc.

Melanie made us feel right at home from the first day.

She was available without being too present.

Her home was lovely, nicely furnished

Melanie, Ellie and Panda were gracious hosts.

We highly recommend staying here!
