    The apartment was spotless. It’s in a great location, a block away from the Long Street, nearby the Green Market and Bo Kaap. You can see the table mountain and Lion’s head from the bed/room. The apartment had all the basic amenities including first kit set and sanitary items. Books, magazines and puzzles for leisure activities were also available.
