Localização perfeita e melhor café da manhã
Pros:

Excelente localização, staff atencioso, MELHOR CAFÉ DA MANHÃ DE CAPE TOWN, quarto grande e muito confortável, não tem elevador, a casa é um charme. Minha única nota seria sobre a construção ao lado, que faz barulho das 8h às 18h, porém 18h em ponto para para o alívio de todos. Fora isso NOTA 10. Voltaria e ficaria mais dias.

Cons:

Nada

Pros:

Very friendly and helpful staff

Cons:

Not the fault of the property but there is a very large building site on the opposite side of the street at the front of the house. There was construction noise as a result.
