Karen's place was perfect for our time in Russell. Super conveniently located with a large and sunny deck, perfect for enjoying a drink on in the evening. Though it's centrally located, noise isn't an issue at all- and actually it's really peaceful at night. The only thing I'd say (which Karen also states but we didn't really take into account), is that the kitchenette is really a kitchenette- so not suitable for whole meal preparation. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend at all and Karen and Gerry were great!
