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.

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.

Tudo perfeito! A única coisa que eu deixaria na avaliação talvez para ajudar outros hóspedes é que em momento algum no anúncio é falado que não se trata de um hotel com portaria, restaurante e todas comodidades que se tem qdo nos hospedamos. No caso são apts em um prédio com outros comércios com uma portaria de prédio e não de hotel. A localização é excelente, o apt de muito bom tamanho para um casal, super novinho, cozinha pequena e muito bem equipada para uma rápida refeição, um local de verdade demais agradável de ficar. Kenny foi maravilhoso desde a hora que chegamos e foi chamado pelo porteiro nos recebendo super bem, demais educado, gentil, atencioso demais até a hora de irmos embora, nota 1000 para ele e para o apt Só acho mesmo que deveriam informar que não se trata de um hotel e sim de apts alugados para que o hóspede vá sabendo certinho onde vai ficar. EU SUPER RECOMENDO!
