We stayed at Julian's place for 4 weeks while we had building work done on our house. We live locally so know the area well.
The house is very quiet and was well equipped for a longer term stay. The dishwasher didn't initially work when we got there but Julian did get this replaced during our stay. The washing machine works well and there is all the equipment you require for a long term stay; clothes line, iron and ironing board, cleaning products and space for clothing etc. The house was fresh and tidy when we arrived.
The main problem we had while staying at Julian's was we received numerous parking tickets in the mail. Julian accepted responsibility for these but they kept coming and the parking management company started threatening us with legal action as they weren't paid while Julian sorted these out. This was stressful as the tickets are in our name. Julian did get the tickets cancelled in the end but we had to park our car off site as we didn't want more tickets post trip.
