My friend and I stayed in Rory's spare bedroom for 3 nights and found it comfortable and convenient. The brief times we met his family they seemed lovely, but we spent most of our time out and about in the city. There are several buses in the area that go to the city center, and the walk in is nice and worth doing. Took me about 20-30 minutes to walk depending where I was going. Emjoyed the cafe's in the area for breakfast.
