I spent about a month staying at Cass' place and had a really nice stay. The house is in a truly great location. The area is so nice, wonderful little shops, cafes and restaurants around the corner, including a very nice little supermarket.
The room is very nice, I particularly loved the bed and the loads of hangers for clothes, it was exactly what I needed.
There is no desk or chair, which is good for fellow working holiday people to know. However, the cafes and the library nearby provide good workspace instead. (The cafe around the corner also has absolutely fantastic coffee.)
The room is in a separate part of the house, shared kitchen and bath with two other rooms. While I stayed there, the other two were occupied by semi-permanent lodgers and they were the nicest, most welcoming people you could ask for.
The kitchen and bath show a bit of age, so don't expect shiny and new, but everything is in fine working condition, so don't be put off by that.
