We stayed for a whole month here and we loved every single day in this apartment.
Very clean and well kept apartment with all the appliancesyou need to feel truly at home. Not to mention the mesmerising view over the skyline! We both worked 3 full weeks remotely for our companies in Germany and had 0 issues with the Internet. Big thumbs up for all you digital nomads out there.
The 24/7 security service made us feel very safe and even gave us little tips to navigate around capetown. Things to note are that the owner charges a "battery" you use up while using electricity. So you have to manage your usage. We used all the appliances and used the heating system frequently and did not run out of energy. But something you have to keep in mind. Another important thing is that you are still effected by loadshedding! We were told by many locals that the time we were there it was particularly bad. Normally the neighbourhood is less effected because of the nearby government buildings. You have to monitor the schedules. I had 0 trouble while working though.
One thing stood out to me was the wonderful host. He was kind and helped us with any request we had and was overall a very helpful. The people and the neighbourhood overall was safer than other parts of town, we had many supermarkets nearby. I would recommend to rent a car tought. Especially at night we only used Uber to get around. The Apartment has a good connection to all directions, so a roadtrip is a must!
We will never forget the beautiful sunrises in the mornings and the dinners on the balcony.
One of my best experiences on airbnb.
