    The host, Emy was brilliant, advising on Cape Town travel and sites. The facility was perfect with plenty of space, two large bedrooms, an exceptionally good lounge and a fully fitted kitchen. The location could not be better, close to Kloof Street, our teenage (18) son and his friend were able to walk out in the evening and go to pubs and clubs on their own.

    There’s free wifi but it didn't always work very well and kept losing connectivity.

    Beautiful spacious accommodation superbly located within walking distance of shops and around 50(!) restaurants in popular Kloof Street, and local attractions are easily accessible. There is safe off-street parking, ad a handy communal lounge to get coffee, water wine etc. Emmy is a warm and hospital hostess who shared tips on where to go and things to do.

    Not much, maybe the apartment was bigger than we expected.

    Large almost palacial apartment in the heart of Gardens district of Cape Town, close to Table Mountain, nice cafes and restaurants as well as bus routes.

    Emmy was a wonderful host, always willing to assist. We booked the 3 bedroom apartment which was very clean, is homely and very functional; they didn’t just have beach towels but also a beach bag & toys. The apartment is close to most tourist attractions. The kids loved the pool. Will definitely go back.

    No.3 was a little noisy from road noise at times but I guess you’re in the city, so to be expected. It didn’t really bother us.

    Great location, easy walk into the city centre and to numerous bars and restaurants. The apartment is very spacious, and extremely well equipped with very thoughtful extras such as a beach kit, cool box, air fryer, and many other helpful items. The welcome, service and thoughtfulness of Emmy the host are exceptional. Security was very good with lockable grills on the doors and windows. Air conditioning in the bedroom and Wi-Fi were both very good. There is an honesty bar for drinks, coffee etc which is very useful. The shopping service prior to our arrival was particularly useful.

    Emmy and her family were so warm and welcoming. They did everything they could to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The cleaning staff were also excellent and made sure our apartment was clean and tidy everyday. The location was perfect - close to many restaurants and bars and only about a 15 minute drive to beaches at Clifton and Camps Bay. We had an amazing view of Table Mountain and Lions Head from our terrace.
