The penthouse was just the way it was described and shown on the Airbnb site. The place was clean, comfortable and spacious. The view from the penthouse was amazing.
Anthea and Haja gave us a warm greeting on arrival and Anthea explained things well. She was always ready to help even before our travel with all our queries and was prompt with her replies.
The house was stocked with milk, cereals, salt, pepper and sugar. We had to buy other groceries as per our requirement. It had all the cutlery, vessels to help occupants cook their own meals. The iron and ironing board were also available (a big plus). The aircon worked fine and helped us stay warm as it was very cold in Cape Town when we travelled (July). The penthouse was also very safe as it had security 24x7 (for those who have fears about safety). The bathrooms were well equipped with towels, napkins, tissue rolls, body wash and shampoos.
The penthouse was right in the city centre which made it very easy for us to reach many places like The Company's gardens, Truth Coffee Shop, even some shopping centres nearby. It was walking distance from Adderley Street which had many malls for shopping. There were a couple of small supermarkets around to buy groceries.
We used Uber to travel about and it was the best, safest and cheapest mode of transport to use when in Cape Town.
Overall, I loved staying at the penthouse and would recommend people to stay at Anthea, Rees and Haja's place. It was a home away from home. Cape Town is a beautiful city and a must visit for those visiting South Africa.
