“We stayed for a week, our first time in fabulous Cape Town. Gill was terrific at communicating in advance and on welcoming us warmly and helpfully even when our flight was delayed by 24 hours. The apartment is even better than it appears in the photos. Very central and totally secure, with secure parking downstairs. Lovely corner one bed apartment, generously sized, with huge windows giving views of Table Mountain one way and the harbour the other way. Be aware that there’s not a lot of hanging space but Gill kindly set up a clothes rail which was fine for us. We were also happy to do as the locals do and keep our use of water to a minimum as Cape Town suffers from water shortages. We paid the cleaner his very reasonable fee which we were happy to do as it made things easier on leaving. We couldn’t have asked for a better location, safe and comfortable apartment, or friendly welcome. Thanks Gill. ”

Gill's reviews
As a host (8)“Gill is a fantastic host that even though she was on the other side of the word, made me feel right at home. Her apartment is Lovely with stunning views, ideally located within a few 100meters or 5/10min drive of wherever you want to be in Cape Town. As someone that lives in South Africa and within an hour of Cape Town, I was still able to enjoy Gill's apartment and park my vehicle in the basement parking and walk / Uber everywhere and do the touristy things which was what my goal was for the weekend stay. Thank you Gill for letting me stay at your wonderful apartment.”
“We've had a wonderful stay in Gill's apartment in vibrant Cape Town. The apartment is beautifully decorated with a modern, luxurious bathroom and views of Table Mountain, the harbour, and the city which are sensational. The location is superb with the Company's Garden as well as museums, galleries and restaurants very close by. Gill has been terrific to deal with and most kind in every way and I would strongly recommend an exchange with her. ”
“Gill’s home is ideally situated in the centre of Cape Town. Public transport is easily available, but we explored much on foot and certainly didn’t need to hire a car. The spacious apartment offers a great cityscape with a particularly stunning view of Devil’s Peak. It is very comfortable and well equipped. It was such a pleasure dealing with Gill. She was always prompt in answering messages, was very helpful and provided lots of information to help with our first ever stay in South Africa. A highly recommended swap – thanks Gill! ”
“This apartment was fantastic on the 18 Floor just in the center of Cap Town. Close to all activites and restaurants, we could walk to Waterfront just 25 minutes. Everything was working well in the appartment and Gill was a fantastic hostess, we even had an S AfrikanMobil from Gill and we felt very safe here in town and in the apartment with a fantastic panorama. We recommended this place from our heart. We also had a garage for our car but it was staying there, you don't need a car in Cap Town. Love Lotti and Claes from France and Sweden.”
“Wonderful experience in Gill´s apartment. All was simply perfect. Very , very recomendable.”
“Gill's very comfortable apartment with wonderful views is situated in a perfect downtown position, so we had no need of a car during our 5 day stay. It is an easy 5 min walk to the lovely Company Gardens and a wide choice of cafes and restaurants in the vibrant streets close by. There is a main stop and ticket office for the excellent City Hop on Hop off buses, located only two streets away from the apartment, so getting around the city was easy too. We even walked down to the Waterfront one day. We loved our visit to the Kirstenbosch Gardens and the outdoor cinema performance there one evening. Gill could not have been more helpful and caring to ensure we got the most out of our time in Cape Town and communications both before and during our stay were always prompt. Would certainly recommend this apartment as an ideal city base for two. Thanks Gill!”
“Just Perfect !!”
