Nick's place was as advertised--a clean, modern yet cozy home base in an ideal location. The apartment is gorgeous, comfortable, and I was happy to spend four nights there. I also had a pressing work deadline, and spent many hours working at the place. Overall, it was an good place to write and read. The kitchen had everything I needed to make meals, and there was tea and coffee available. The apartment is quiet, a surprise given that it is so near two main roads. Access to the ocean and the offerings of Sea Point are just a short walk away: I enjoyed my morning runs on the promenade, watching the sunset over the sea, and walks to get coffee or grab a bottle of wine.

Nick was a very responsive, attentive host. We had a few issues with the internet, and he was understanding and helpful in trying to resolve those issues. He was always available to answer my questions via email. I am grateful to have stayed in his place for my last few nights in Cape Town and would happily stay at his place again on my next visit.
