Home truths
This is a studio apartment so there's no wall between the living and sleeping area. Given the lack of space, we recommend travelling light.
This home is located within an apartment building. You'll have access to an on-site pool, a rooftop terrace, and a gym. They're shared with other residents, so expect to bump into other guests during your stay.
This apartment lacks a dryer or washing machine.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
There's a laptop-friendly desk here for remote working.
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 a short walk of the home.
