We had a great 4-night stay at Kate's apartment and thoroughly enjoyed living there. All was clean, beds comfortable, the shower efficient and water pressure excellent. The kitchen had everything that could be needed, although we only ate a couple of snacks there and ate out each day (including great pizzas at the Lord Morpeth).
The #8 bus service from the end of the road made travel into town really simple, and there are good local facilities too. Thoroughly recommended
