This was our first experience of Airbnb and it could not have been better. The property, a former granny annexe to the owner's house, is superbly located close to downtown and the Waterfront, and has a sunny terrace overlooking the port with Robben Island in the distance. Angela and Faisal could not have been more welcoming or more flexible hosts. We arrived at 9.00 straight from an overnight flight from London. We were offered a bedroom and bathroom to freshen up and breakfast (although we were happy just to have coffee). When we got into the property, we found it extremely well stocked with basics like milk, eggs and fruit, obviating the need for a immediate visit to the supermarket. Angela and Faisal are both charming, and have interesting stories to tell about their, and ther families', experiences under apartheid. All in all, a great start to a holiday in a wonderful city.
