First of all, this penthouse is lovely! One of the most breathtaking spaces I’ve ever stayed in via Airbnb. The views of table mountain and lion’s head are some of the best views I have ever seen in my entire life, no exaggeration. They also left me a bottle of red wine which I immediately popped open as soon as I stepped foot into the Airbnb. What I loved most about the apartment aside from the stunning views was the tub outside on the balcony. I took two nice baths at night, taking in the nighttime views. It was soooo relaxing and I felt like a queen. Sol & Mike we’re also so helpful and accommodating, and offered to help me if I needed anything.
There is also a place where you can drop your luggage off for a pretty small fee RIGHT across the street, which I found super convenient and helpful when I couldn’t check in early (if you have an early checkout from a previous accommodation, the Bag Drop will be your best friend!).
The only downside I think was the pool on the 17th floor. It was quite unsanitary and there were paint clippings in it. This is by no means their fault, just an observation of the building’s management. Overall, a wonderful place to stay for a killer price. I’ll definitely be returning when I come back to Cape Town!
