    The property was very comfortable and in the perfect location for exploring Cape Town. Sabine, the host, was excellent, and took the time to give tailored Cape Town recommendations. I would definitely stay here again!

    It was incredible. The hostess was warm and friendly. The whole atmosphere felt like home and the staff were welcoming.
    The property was situated in a lovely neighborhood. The parking was safe and it was centrally situated. Close to restaurants, chemist, supermarket and the CBD.
    I have no complaints.

    Convenient location in Gardens neighbourhood
    Location is great as walking distance from a number of great bars and restaurants, it's walking distance from Mount Nelson hotel. The host was also lovely and went out of her way with recommendations of places to eat.

    Property location was central. It was clean and cosy. Ann was such a Gem, friendly professional and the sweetest person
