Hello ! My name is Jake, I was born and raised right here in the vibrant city of Cape Town. I am passionate about family, community, and supporting local businesses. As your host, I will ensure your stay is filled with warmth and connection. I am thrilled to open up this home away from home for travellers wanting to experience this beautiful city. I am always available via the Airbnb chat and will exchange phone numbers incase you need to call or contact me directly. If required I am available to come to the unit as I live close by. I will do an in-person check out at the end of your stay.
Nestled beneath the tranquility of Table Mountain, Observatory in Cape Town beckons with its eclectic charm and vibrant energy. Known affectionately as "Obs" by locals, this suburb is a melting pot of creativity, diversity and community spirit. In Obs you'll encounter a kaleidoscope of cultures, from artists and academics to students and professionals. Cafés buzz with intellectual conversations in historic buildings. Observatory's bohemian atmosphere is complemented by its array of independent shops, offering everything from vintage clothing to handmade crafts. As day transitions to night, the suburb comes alive with the hum of live music drifting from its bars and venues. In Observatory, time seems to slow down, inviting you to savor each moment and embrace the beauty of the ordinary. It's a place where strangers become friends and where the rhythm of life is set to the beat of your own heart. We recommend Uber as it is safe and reliable.
