Very special place had our sister inlaw with us, who is from one of the local hotels, she was very impressed
Met Abby the graffiti what an amazing experience. Low shedding happened every couple of hours wich i thought would impact our stay, but wasn't an issue. Loved and would go back if we ever come back to East London. You wont be sorry
