One of the most stunning and dramatic views and best hosts ever. Staying in Veronika’s studio was simply wonderful. I have stayed all over Cape Town and if you had to pick one location to stay, this is arguably the best location—centered between the Waterfront and Camps Bay right above the restaurants along Kloof Street with a knock out view of Table Mountain and the City Bowl. At night, the City lights glisten below the grand backdrop of Table Mountain and Devil’s Peak spreading down to the Waterfront. In the morning, with shades left open on the glass doors and windows at the front of the studio, the sun slowly rises turning the sky warm pinks and yellow as the dark recedes and sunlight bathes Table Mountain and the City in color.
A short walk down the hill to Kloof Street and there you have all the restaurants, stores and groceries you need. Ubers on Kloof can take you back up the hill or, from the studio, down to the Waterfront in 10-15 minutes in one direction or, in the other, over the pass between Table Mountain and Lions Head within ten minutes to Camps Bay and from there on to Hout Bay, or a day trip along Chapman’s Peak Drive to Boulders Beach and Cape Point. Return to your sleek, modern studio at the end of your day trips and the welcoming city lights below and Table Mountain ahead.
Veronika has a keen eye for design, details and cleanliness. She will give you a thorough overview of the studio and is happy to answer any questions you have. Her handy honor bar meant that on my first night I could enjoy a bottle of wine on my pool patio above the City as the sun set on my magnificent view without a trip to the store. A CitiBus card to reload, maps, a robe, slippers, salt, pepper and olive oil….Beyond all those nice things, she has become a friend--taking me, on my second day in Cape Town, on a 6 hour hike with her hiking club and (even after moving to my next Airbnb booked before I saw Veronika’s) she has included me in long, bucket list hikes with her hiking club friends of Lions Head, Devils Peak, Table Mountain and a 5K Park Run at Green Point and recommended wonderful restaurants and events. She is a kind and gifted hostess who is energetic and thoughtful. If you are looking for a spectacular view and a trendy, modern studio with a sleek bathroom and large walk in shower, rent Veronika’s studio without a moment’s hesitation.
