This apartment was beautiful with a stunning city view of Cape Town. It felt like home immediately and has a washing machine in the apartment which was greatly appreciated as someone who had been traveling for 2 months through Africa! Loves everything about my stay. Would very much recommend!

Great stay. Location awesome walking distance to lots of things and very central.
Easy check in and safe surroundings with lots of security
Improvements would need to be communication. Organised in advance airport shuttle only to be told they “missed the messages” and didn’t send anyone.

Lovely apartment with a beautiful view and nice balcony. Spotlessly clean. Spacious and well equipped, with lots of storage space. Friendly staff, and very easy to check in, get parking, etc. Nice area, with tons of nearby dining options within walking distance. Definitely recommend!

Gorgeous apartment, very well equipped with lovely decor.
You have to check in before you can use the car park, so easier with 2 people

Great location within easy walking distance of the waterfront. Spar grocery store a quick 5-10 min walk away. Checking can be a bit hectic if multiple visitors arriving.

Mycket trevlig personal i receptionen
Blev hänvisad till fel apartment. Lyckligt att den rättte hyresgästen accepterade att bli tilldelad en annan, vilket annars hade betytt att vi fått packa ihop och flytta till ett annat rum.
Däremot faceigenkänning för att komma åt hissarna fungerade aldrig, trots flera omfotograferingar.

Schönes Hotel mit großartiger Aussicht über Kapstadt. Durch die zentrale Lage kann man unkompliziert alle Sehenswürdigkeiten in Kapstadt gut erreichen und findet nette Lokale in unmittelbarer Nähe. Zur Waterfront kann man zu Fuß gehen
