We had an absolutely lovely stay at Rufus' house. It's exactly as pictured, newly renovated and Rufus has gone out of his way to thoughtfully fit it out for short or long term guests.
Check in was easy and flexible with good instructions for accessing the key safe and letting ourselves in. Rufus made sure to pop in later to introduce himself and check in on us in case we wanted any advice about the area or house.
The kitchen is perfect for self-caterers. There were even oven dishes and baking trays (my girlfriend was excited to make her first cake in four months). Plenty of tea, coffee, sugar, oil, baking powder, salt and pepper. Iron and ironing board are new, washer dryer was lovely (we left some washing powder behind too), bed and couch are comfortable, sheets and towels are great, water pressure is lovely and hot, heating is superb. Rufus also provides excellent instructions for the water heaters, switches and general apartment care. Wifi was good.
The apartment is fairly centrally located, a 15-20 minute walk from the station with luggage or there's a bus stop not too far away. It's on the second floor up some easy stairs. The convenience comes with a little noise from the fairly main st (not much one can do about that!) so bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper. There's a great Tesco's about 5 minutes away, as is Nicholson St (for buses).
An absolutely lovely stay. Can't fault a thing! Thanks for having us.
