Description Green Queen: Cape Town

This is one of those homes that's ludicrously blessed when it comes to perks. For a start, there are gorgeous views of mountains and Cape Town's harbour out through the large windows, and the Juliet balcony lets you take in this vista with the sunlight on your skin.

We're also suitably wowed by the design choices made throughout the large interior, from the sleek kitchen finished in grey and the equally stylish bathroom to the characterful living room dotted with contemporary flourishes. And to top it all off, guests also get access to the building's communal swimming pool deck, which is sure to be especially appreciated during the height of summer.

When you're in the mood to see a little more of the South African capital, the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront sits pretty much on your doorstep and offers visitors an interesting collection of museums and every sort of restaurant under the sun. Signal Hill lies in the opposite direction if you've got a hankering for a hike, while Cape Town Stadium is also nearby, too.

Home truths:
*Guests are given one allocated parking space *The building has an elevator to reach this single-level apartment *Guests have access to a communal pool *Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace *This home is in a central spot, so noise is to be expected
