"Camberwell Charm" is an accurate moniker for this comfortable accommodation. It is a fully self-contained unit at the rear of a family home in a street with excellent proximity to public transport. The one-bedroom unit is spacious and well-appointed. The bed is comfortable, with a good supply of pillows, throws and blankets. Nice, fluffy towels in the bathroom. Decent washing machine, laundry trough and cleaning materials. The kitchen is particularly well set up with ample crockery, cutlery, glassware and cooking utensils. Comfortable sofa and armchair in the lounge area, as well as a 4 seater dining suite complete the pleasant decor. You can tell this has been someone's home, as there is every conceivable kitchen item available, including quality appliances, spacious refrigerator and a nice collection of handy items like cling film, foil, condiments, tea and coffee supplies. The hosts have been very generous in their provision of so many items to make the visitors' stay comfortable.
One of the unit's best features is its abundance of natural light, particularly the large picture windows of the bedroom and sitting room, which look out onto a charming small private garden. Bright red geraniums tumbling from terracotta pots add a note of colour. It is quite uplifting for those who appreciate greenery and sunshine.
Two comments regarding access for people of limited mobility - first, the bathroom has a half bath with shower over, so one must step up and over the rim to get into it. Second, the unit is approached from a long paved pathway which has a number of steps. There are railings to assist visitors who might have limited mobility, but the unit would not provide good access for a wheelchair.
I was able to negotiate with the hosts to bring my sedate old dog to stay, which was a great help to me. The garden is nicely laid out with brick paths winding through thickly planted garden beds. There is no lawn, and the garden would not be advisable for active, bouncy, big dogs. There are two resident dogs, who are very cute.
