Cape Town flatshare

Hi,

is it popular to share a flat in Cape Town ?

What advice would you give to those looking for shared accommodation in Cape Town?

Can you recommend specialized local websites or newspapers?

By the way, keep in mind there is a flat share/house share section in the Classifieds ;)

Thank you in advance for your participation and advice!

I still have about eleven months before I'll be moving to Cape Town (for grad school), but I've started looking at flats and house shares online to get a feel for everything.  I've found Gumtree South Africa to be especially helpful.  I'm from the U.S., and it is similar to our Craigslist.  There are a lot of places advertised in every location I've looked, so it will definitely be one of the sources I use when finalizing housing once I'm finally on my where there.

Thanks for your contribution Kelsey1704!;)
