Rich's House - Bath Street (Southampton)

My house is approximately 15 minutes walk from the Mayflower Theatre and Mayflower Mast and around 20-25 mins from Headliners rehearsal studios for the cruise ships. Several major bus routes are within 2 mins of the house if needed too. The area is pretty quiet and ideally placed for a range of restaurants, bars and shops, it's also close to Southampton Common and Portswood. There're parking restrictions on my road 09:00-17:00 but the city centre parking zone ends three streets away so there's a few free parking spaces within a 5 minute walk of the house (and loads within a 10 minute walk - I can supply a map). Sadly, I'm limited on the number of permits I get in a year so typically I cannot offer street parking on my road.

So, my name's Rich and I work in London but I’m currently only in the office a couple of days a week and work from home for the other days. I'm currently offering one room in my home now, but the back bedroom is a decent size with a comfy double bed. I’ve offered digs for several years (pre-pandemic I hosted the whole house when I was away with work) and I’m hopeful my house will still make a welcoming home-from-home when you’re on tour or in rehearsals. You'll have full use of the house which includes a fully equipped kitchen, a comfy lounge, a bathroom, courtyard garden, Wi-Fi, free-view etc. I’ll likely be in London for one or two days each week so you’d get the whole place to yourself then but when at home I work from the dining room (but with the door closed I’m pretty much squirrelled away for the day). I'm pretty easy to live with but my only rule is no smoking in the house.

For those who have stayed in recent years and met Blake the cat, I'm sorry to say that he was put to sleep in August 2023 and he's greatly missed.

Loads of people have stayed here over the years and it's been a pleasure to share my home. If you've got any questions please do get in touch or put through your booking.

Cheers,
Rich

Rich communicated so well before I arrived and though I never met him, my friend who was also staying had picked up keys earlier. Everything was easy, comfortable and as described.

Although Rich was away, he was an excellent host in absentia!

Only a quarter of an hour walk to the Mayflower, it's a lovely little terrace house with everything you would need - only downside was the lack of parking availability, but I was aware of this beforehand and you can park free about a 5... read more minute walk away (I'd recommend Hurst Street, with a Jaguar showroom on the corner).
