Exceptional even with drama!
Pros:

Comfy bed, beautiful views, great service, friendly host, assistance with braai wood and checking in, lots of ice and glasses. Exceptional. Best place in East London.

Cons:

The people who stayed next door to us were extremely noisy, played loud music and were drinking and breaking glasses. This carried on until 4am. It got too much so I called the owner, and he dealt with it professionally and promptly. He offered us a free night stay for the inconvenience.
