Home truths
This is a compact studio apartment with a sliding partition between the living and sleeping areas. Given the lack of space, we recommend travelling light.
There's no dining area here, so you may want to head out for dinner.
The apartment building with 24-hour manned security has a shared entrance and lift access.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
If you're travelling on business, there's a laptop-friendly desk with a lamp in the bedroom.
Parking in Cape Town can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible. You'll also find a My Citi bus stop within 100 metres from this home.
