5Without doubt, a spectacular location and setting. Dickson, the house manager, was absolutely fabulous – so friendly and helpful. The house was immaculately clean and well-organized. It’s a “professional” AirBnB place and not a home per se. My only gripe was the odd “third” room – much smaller than the others and accessible only by walking through the shower! (which also clogged with water after use) The two main rooms were splendid and the outside/poolside cottage lovely too. This was a business trip with three other colleagues, so I took the odd “third” room. Not the nicest space, I have to say.
5Great location and good vibe. Loved it!
5We genuinely enjoyed our stay, definitely would recommend it without a shadow of a doubt
5Jacqui was an exceptional host from start to finish. Communication was clear and timely and it made everything feel easy before I even arrived. She made sure the place was ready even though I got there earlier than planned. The small touches like fresh milk bottled water fruit tea and coffee really stood out. It felt welcoming the moment I walked in. The villa at 42 Glencoe Avenue is honestly something special. It looks exactly like the pictures if not better. The space is clean well maintained and beautifully put together. You can tell real effort went into making it both comfortable and stylish. The layout works whether you are staying alone or with others and everything you need is there. The location is another big plus. It is quiet and peaceful but still close enough to everything you need. It gives you that proper Cape Town feel. Waking up there and just taking in the surroundings was easily one of the best parts of the stay.
5The home looks better than the pictures and the host was very helpful and responsive.
