Simon's house is located in a safe area in the Observatory district. Just a few steps away is Lower Main Street, which boasts numerous shops, pubs, and restaurants. It's the perfect area to get acquainted with Cape Town outside of the downtown area.

The train station is minutes away, allowing you to get downtown in just a few stops, or to Simon's Town down south to visit the African penguins.

The room is nice and bright with 2 beds. We had our own bathroom just off the kitchen. He gave us full use of basically everything, including his washing machine. Free gourmet coffee and tea was very nice as well. Simon gave us all the information we needed about the area and great suggestions for places to eat and things to do.

Overall we had a fantastic time at Simon's place, and would highly recommend it to anyone.
