What an incredible place and host! I had the pleasure of staying to Ethne’s Bo Kaap sanctuary for 2 months. It was hands down my top air b n b experience. I honestly don’t know where to start. The space itself is stunning and spacious, even more beautiful in person than the photos. It feels like staying in an actual home vs a rental property. You can tell the owners put a lot of love and thought into the design. It’s appointed with everything you could possibly need and more. Ethne went above and beyond to make my long stay comfortable adding thoughtful personal details like fresh flowers, tea and bubble bath… I felt so welcome. Ethne was readily available to answer any questions I had. She is such lovely soul. Even though we never met in person, you could feel it come through our communication. The location of the house, on a quiet off street in colorful Bo Kaap, was excellent. I felt like I was living in a painting and loved hearing the daily call to prayer. The neighborhood has such an interesting history, I highly recommend doing a walking tour while your'e here. The home itself is walking distance to the city center as well as all the restaurants/action on neighboring trendy Kloof and Bree streets. I didn’t have a car but there were always spots in front and back of the home for parking if you do. As a solo female traveller I felt very safe both inside and outside the home. Bo Kaap is a kind, tight knit, multigenerational community. Everybody knows everyone and looks out for each other, makes time to say hello which I found really sweet and comforting. I would highly recommend Etne’s place as a base for your cape town explorations. 10 stars!
