That was quick. I found a room only half an hour into my search. I don't have a photo yet, but it's perfect! 5 minute walk to the uni and the botanical gardens, 8 flatmates who are all in some way involved with Victoria University (one of them is a film student - yay!), and the most amazing view over Kelburn. The room is tiny, but fully furnished and really cheap. And the house is an old majestic villa, simply everything, you could wish for. I just hope Martin will fit in the room when he's here. We'll see. Next challenge: job search.
