There are few better locations and values in Cape Town than a stay at "the red house on the corner." It's a 30 second walk (at a slow pace) to the Cape Quarter, with its shops, cafes, restaurants, grocery store, liquor store and shared office space, which puts pretty much everything you need right at your doorstep -- and we mean that literally! It's a 15 minute walk to the V&A waterfront or a 5 minute Uber ride. Downtown is a 10-15 minute walk away, too. It's a great location in the Waterkant community, which is also patrolled by security 24 hours a day, so you always feel safe. The home is "historic charm meets modern flair," which is accurately reflected in the images in the listing. Henk and Guido are wonderful hosts, always willing to offer assistance or guidance whenever you ask. After staying at more than 25 Airbnbs over the past three years, Henk is one of then most responsive and helpful hosts we've had yet. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in this home and highly recommend it!
