I spent a very comfortable and enjoyable few days at Rachella's place. The little Victorian house oozes character, which is accentuated by Rachella's amazing collections of design ephemera and books which mean you can never be bored when you're in the house! All the basics were covered effortlessly - clean room and bathroom etc (a TV in the room was a nice bonus!) a comfortable bed, instructions on local transport and eating etc - you can tell the host really loves living in the area. I really enjoyed having my own shelf in the fridge, which was stealthily topped up with fresh croissants during the week! Rachella was always on hand to make sure I was OK, but made sure I had my own space when I wanted it - a perfect balance.
