Russell is a wonderful little town with lots of character and charm. We are so happy we stayed nearby as this place is a short 5 minute drive. The studio itself was sparkling clean with a nice spacious bathroom with great amenities and heated towel rack. The kitchenette was also nicely appointed and we appreciated the french press, ground coffee and fresh milk. Please note that there is another apartment adjacent to this one so if someone is staying next door there’s not much privacy and you’ll need to draw your blinds. There’s also a great little walk nearby called Tapeka Trek that’s worth checking out! Overall a great value!
