Great apartment. Clean, well equipped with a great view over Cape Town and Table mountain. Everything you could want with kitchenette, flat screen TV and pool on the roof (just a shame about the weather as didn’t get to use it). Very safe and secure in good central location. Kenny the host was extremely helpful. Really highly recommended.

Excellent accomodation. Self contained studio with all the necessary amenities. Great condition. Kenny, the house keeper provided a warm welcome and prepared a perfect room. He was always eager to help with whatever issue I raised. He went well above his duties to make my stay a comfortable one. Very good location. Highly recommended.

The room was clean, the staff was nice. Unfortunately the room was advertised incorrectly - we booked it specifically for a laundry machine - there was none - we also booked it for parking - there was none.

The room was gorgeous and rented at a decent price. In addition , the building has around the clock security. However, we had a major issue prior to check-in where I'd contacted the manager to drop our bags off prior to our room being ready. Upon our arrival, he was nowhere to be found and the available staff knew nothing of the arrangement and refused to store our luggage. We therefore had to bring our bags back to our vehicle and were late for our appointment. In addition, be aware that the building parking lot is not free and you have to pay at the kiosk inside to be allowed to exit. We were unaware of this initially. Otherwise it was a decent stay.
