We were totally prepared for our arrival because of the thorough communication. Liliane even arranged for a transfer from CPT to City Chic.

The unit is a two-story unit on the top floor of the building overlooking Parliament and The Company's Gardens. Everything needed is there, although we would have liked to have dish washing and dishwasher detergent supplied. The front desk staff was helpful and courteous. The kitchen is well equipped with refrigerator, oven and cooktop, and microwave. The beds were extremely comfortable; the towels plush and good sized.

Parking is provided in the attached parkade (garage to Americans) on the same floor as access to the Piazza building.

The keypad operated front door lock was extremely convenient. No keys to carry. Plus we could set our own entry code. The safe provided us with a good feeling about leaving our valuables.

The location is fantastic! With the exception of the V&A Waterfront, everything is a short walk away. We walked to the District 6 Museum, the Castle of Good Hope, St George's Cathedral (Tutu's church), Patluament, the Gardens, several excellent restaurants (Trees, and Fork), a terrific food market (Food Lovers Market), grocery stores (we preferred Woolworth), and the best coffee house EVER - the steam punk themed Truth.

The waterfront is a R40-70 taxi ride away. Or you can walk it. The City Sightseeing bus stops about 5 blocks away.

We enjoyed all the places mentioned above and the V&A. We recommend Cape Town Helicopters's Full Cape Tour. We ate two meals at Harbour a House. If Yellowtail is on the menu, have it.

If we return to CT, we'll definitely stay at Mike and Liliane's place.
