I do believe it's a favorite of jashermd, a not so current member. I have to say the waterfront area of CPT is no big shakes--12 Apostles looks much more inviting location wise and $$ and I can recommend the Steenberg. Cape Town is a very small city--the things I want to see are easily accessible from Constantia (Steenberg) or similar areas--many of them not in town and if Table Mtn has fog issues, you can go around the city with little effort with rental car. Just choose the correct side of the road...
