We had a great stay at Robin's apartment. Robin was there to greet us when we arrived and gave us a good description of Russell and the surrounding area.

The interior of the apartment is clean and comfortable, with a fully equipped kitchen and comfortable sofa. The "bedroom" is very comfortable, and as one would expect from a couple of sailors, a very efficient use of space. We particularly enjoyed sitting out on the deck, enjoying the birds chirping in the otherwise quiet neighborhood.

The location is an easy 15 minute walk from the center of Russell and a slightly longer walk to the beach we went to.

Be sure to go out with Rick and Robin on their sailboat while you visit - we've done seven or eight daysails around the world, and we enjoyed our day on Phantom the most.
