The location of the Barracks Apartments is perfect for visiting an exploring Cape Town. Excellent central location and the added bonus of on-site shopping underground secure parking topped it off. The apartment was spotless with 2 really good size double rooms with en-suite and a living area ideal for 2 couples.
