    Very small but aircon was on full blast but still very hot at night, apart from that it was absolutely fantastic.

    It was a beautiful central location - The room was spacious, clean & quiet. Had a fridge which was a great touch and bed was extremely comfortable. The rooftop was an amazing addition to the accommodation, we sat with a glass of wine watching the sun go down, surprisingly very peaceful given how central it is! William was fantastic too.

    The size of the room on the back of the appartment, was a bit small and the road at the back can be noisy when sleeping in that room. The building next door is being renovated. Expect serious noice after 8 AM. We were not that bothered since we woke up early to explore beautiful Cape Town.

    Place is perfectly located in a nice, safe, centrally located neighbourhood. Quiet area with some nice shops and restaurants on walking distance. The appartment was nicely decorated, clean and complete. Secured parking at the back of the hotel.The staff was very helpful and friendly! The rooftop terrace with plunge pool and table mountain view is fantastic.

    The house is very cozy and nicely decorated, rooms are very clean and have all necessary amenities; the roof top has great views of the city. An special mention to our host, he was very polite, had insightful information and ready to help us. The private parking was very easy to use and breakfast was very tasty and we had a lot of choice every morning.

    Willy is the best host ever - he helped us to organize some trips and called whenever and wherever we needed information from. The breakfast was awesome! I loved the croissants! When we came back from our day of hiking and sightseeing there was always a little chocolate on our bed which made my day :) The area was safe and it was only a 20 minute walk to the waterfront. The rooftop area with the pool has a great view and we just loved relaxing there. Thanks for everything - we would always recommend staying here!
