Andre and his family are pleasant and welcoming. As an apartment the place is small, but comfortable and well-kitted out. There were a few problems with the place during our stay, but Andre was very attentive, and quick to respond and resolve them. Local to the place are some nice parks, the Avon River, and some convenience stores/take aways. It's easy to get the 45 or 44 bus into the city centre from there.
