Good to know
The road is quiet and residential, so we ask for quiet from 10 pm. The city centre and the waterfront are best reached by bus, taxi or your own car.
Staying longer
The laundry, desk and parking make a longer work stay or family visit easy.
Guest Access:
Guests have the whole house and garden. Arrive between 4 and 9 pm and use the lockbox; leave by 10 am. Two or three cars fit on the drive at the front; please don't block the neighbours' driveways.
The Neighborhood:
The house is in Bassett, a green residential area in the north of Southampton near the university and the Common. Walking times: Southampton Sports Centre 5 minutes, Bassett shops 9, Boldrewood campus 12, Highfield campus 19, Southampton Common 21. Driving: Bedford Place in 8 minutes, the station and WestQuay in 10, the cruise terminals in about 12, Ocean Village in 13 and the New Forest in 22. Paultons Park and the forest make great family days out.
Getting Around:
Local buses serve the city centre and the university. Southampton Airport Parkway station is about 9 minutes by car, Southampton Central about 10, and the M3 and M27 are nearby.
