I stayed at Portobello Place (PP) when riding the Cape Argus. It was a last minute booking and I was trepidant! But Mavis & George were welcoming & HOSPITABLE. The room was exceptionally clean, the breakfast was scrumptious and PP is close to shops and restaurants, and, of course, Cape Town.
But, I have 2 very SMALL suggestions.
I think it's important to make sure that there is soap, shampoo in the bathroom - I had neither and had to buy my own.
It's annoying to be watching TV and someone elsewhere in the house changes the channel!!!
Otherr than these 2 small gripes, I highly recommend Portobello Place, it's excellent value.
