I’m now in a company apartment/flat; Not 100% on how long I can stay here, but I’m hoping that it’s long enough to see out the next week (my first week of work – I start on Monday) and the weekend without needing to hunt for a place. It’d be nice to be able to concentrate on the job for that first week, then just take it easy for the weekend to, as it were, recover from the first working week in almost two years.
And then find a place to move to, because I doubt they’re going to want me living here too long.
I have the place to myself at the moment, though there is another bedroom, so someone else could turn up at some point.
They’ve said they’ll warn me, so that there aren’t any incidents of “Co-worker or REALLY confident burglar?”.
I’ve taken some pictures of the place, but … I’m a bit iffy about posting them, seeing as it’s neither my place nor a place I’m renting, so I won’t.
A cursory glance at rental agents windows suggests that ‘furnished’ isn’t a thing here, or at least not a big thing, so I’m most likely looking for a room in an existing place, or some form of private rental/serviced apartment deal.
History has shown that, left to my own devices, I’m not likely to buy furniture beyond the bare minimum, and I don’t actually want to accumulate more stuff; Not if I’m renting.

Good luck with the first week and new place and things!
We’d guess they’re not going to kick you out before the end of the month, and even existing flats are likely to presume some furniture?
All aboard the serviced-apartment train! Or spending some time sourcing a mattress and a couple of pallets. To get you started.
If/when you get to Oxford, I have IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS. These important recommendations have nothing to do with history or culture and everything to do with fast food and junk I HAVE NOTHING TO BE ASHAMED OF JAK I REGRET NOTHING
There _are_ distinct advantages to preferring a firmer mattress; A futon is more portable than a regular bed. 🙂
