Staying in Helga's home was a wonderful experience from start to finish and it's easy to see why it is so frequently booked.
Helga was extremely quick to acknowledge the booking, despite it being an instant book, and was very helpful catering for our late arrival time due to a long day of driving.
The apartment surprised us all - 2 tasteful minimally decorated rooms greeted us, one with twin beds and another with a queen. You couldn't ask for a more comfortable place to rest your head after a long day of travel, and each of the bedrooms looks out over Table Mountain or Lion's Head, which I suppose means you couldn't ask for a better place to wake up either!
The living area is fantastic with the open plan kitchen leading into the lounge and on to to porch with the most spectacular view of Lion's Head, Table Mountain and Devil's Peak. Coupled with a glass of wine from the complimentary bottle generously provided to us made for some truly majestic sundowners.
The cherry on the cake is certainly the fantastic restaurants right on the doorstep (Black Sheep, Carne, Toni's and more) and Long Street just a short walk away.
I'll definitely be back!
