5. Aircon

Cons:

1. Shower water flow can be better
2. Aircon in the rooms and/or fan would help since the rooms are that big and it gets hot

Pros:

That have a space to be together as family ,our own kitchen with mostly all the required appliances comfortable lounge and furnished balcony. Shopping center and a full functional mall are at at a walking distance. Atmosphere very clean and quiet. Location wise I give them 5star.
The only down is the entrance.
Both entrances are awkward especially when it is busy.
Apart from that , I found my perfect place when I'm around Eastlondon.

Cons:

Both entrances are awkward especially when it is busy.

Cons:

There was too much noise, loud music accompanied by banging of doors with kids and old people running up and down in the passages. I had to make a call to report this.. Worst experience ever.

Enjoyed the Stay, Booked Another Night
Pros:

Stayed at Safi Luxury Apartment 2 for one night with a coworker and had such a great time we decided to book another night!
The apartment was spacious, modern, and had everything we needed.
Comfortable, clean, and in a great location.
Definitely recommend for anyone visiting East London!
