We stayed with at Martins apartment for a week and from the moment we walked in we were amazed. Martin welcomed us with coffee and chatted about things to do, he provided all the information we needed about transport and surrounding area. He also bought us some milk. bread and eggs which was great after a 22 hour flight from Aus! The apartment is very cool, we are a photographer and stylist duo and we have never felt more at home, the whole place has character =) East London is full of upcoming areas and we felt like we discovered something new everyday. If you like boutique clothing stores, coffee and a good place to relax with a beer East London is for you. The train is a 5 minute walk and from there you can go anywhere in the city. Coming back to martins warm cosy apartment after 6 hours of being a tourist was simply amazing, we both travel allot and highly recommend.
