Rod is an excellent host, his studio apartment is in a perfect location, the bed is very comfortable, and his place feels like home. I spent two weeks in Rod’s place and appreciated many details he provided so that his place creates a feel-good atmosphere. Unfortunately, the apartment has little daylight: in the summer it may help shield from heat, but in winter it is a bit depressing to have the lights on most of the time. As a foreigner who stayed in Cambridge for both work (media-related) and pleasure, and needed it to work from the apartment, there are some improvements that could be done: more reliable Internet connection (it broke down during my important Zoom calls), laundry service (it is in the basement, and one needs special cards/apps to use it) and heating patterns. It is not clear how heating works (I stayed in October): it may start at 4am and it would be so high that one needs to get up and open the window (no control over heating) and by early morning, it may be off and even cold. If I had to return to Cambridge, I may stay in Rod’s place again, because of the location and because Rod is an excellent host, and I now know which neighbour could lend me the card to do my laundry.
