"We were in Cape Town for a week and this worked out to be the perfect location! Easy access to major roads for day trips. Easy and safe walk to two markets and a large selection of restaurants. You are also just minutes away from the boardwalk/walkway over looking the ocean. Had a few maintenance questions about the apartment, and Daniel was so responsive and promptly had everything resolved. If I’m ever back in Cape Town for work or holiday…this is where I will try to stay!"
