Liebevoll gefĆ¼hrtes Guesthouse mit tollem Blick
Liebevoll gefĆ¼hrtes, wunderschƶnes und geschmackvolles Guesthouse mit tollem Blick auf den Fluss - wir haben nachts den Vorhang offen gelassen, damit wir gleich wieder den Blick geniessen kƶnnen. Das Zimmer ist neu und schƶn eingerichtet mit modernem Bad und fantastischem FrĆ¼stĆ¼ck am nƤchsten Morgen!!! Die Inhaber sind immer ansprechbar und unglaublich freundlich. Mein Bild von East London hat sich durch unseren Aufenthalt dort positiv verƤndert - ich kann es sehr empfehlen, auch weil es mit den 4 Zimmern eine persƶnliche Note hat!
