    Customer service was lacking unfortunately, so a few queries were left unanswered. Also, the flat had lots of cupboards and shelves and knicknacks which made it look good but were unnecessary for a short stay. On the other hand, the ventilation in the bathroom never worked, the heating never came on (the main room was at the right temperature, but the bathroom was cold), there was no dishcloth to dry the dishes. Also, the view on each side was poor, but that's often the case in cities.

    City centre location, clean studio flat

    Couldn't really let light into the living room because of how close it was to the main road. Some dead bugs and spiders in the bathroom, the terrace wasn't clean so not really useable unless we had cleaned it ourselves. Not the host's fault but another tenant had parked a large bike in the narrow hallway right outside our door, so it was difficult to get in and out of the property, especially while carrying suitcases.

    It was a good stay for a couple of nights! The location is good, the bed was comfy and there was good cooking supplies, which was ideal for the weekend. Easy to collect keys.

    The bathroom smelled a bit mouldy, the sofa was a bit uncomfortable.

    The bed was nice, the kitchen basic, the bathroom fine, the few of books on the shelf were interesting, the flat felt safe. We appreciated the smoke alarms.

    No WiFi No shampoo I queried both of these with the host and they advised that they were there, but, they weren't. I think they thought we were in a different apartment as their instructions didn't match where we were.

    The location was perfect and the bed was comfy

    There are no blackout curtains, made it too bright in the morning. No toiletries (e.g. shampoo) provided, missing cutlery (there were no forks in the kitchen) etc.

    Location is ideal. Easy to check in/out. Price is fair.

    We did phone the management service to try and get direction, as we were struggling originally. A man answered and said he was busy and put me to answer service. I left a voicemail, and he never got back to me. Fortunately we found it 5 minutes afterwards.The cooker could do with some instructions. We figured it out, but the hob only works if the oven timer is running. Also there was no shower gel and shampoo provided. Also the hair dryer advertised in the listings wasn't present.

    Very smart, modernised well presented accommodation. Bag of nails, couple of doors down, is an excellent quirky pub. Cooker and fridge will save you a bit, with brekkie the next morning. We did brekkie and made a packed lunch from the Sainsburys for £10 for 2.

    The apartment faces a busy road, so it was not quiet at night. However, this was not a big issue for us.

    Nice little apartment in Bristol, tastefully decorated, with all the basics that you may need. The location is perfect!

    The not real negatives were I found the traffic outside a bit noisy but that is reflected in my location score. Turn this around and it was intact very well placed for the city centre. It is just that it is close to one of the principal access roads.

    Well equipped and comfortable.

    Space was probably the best compromise of most facilities in smallest space, but some compromises made that made it feel a little claustrophobic. Especially due to the location of the apartment on the side of the park and with a tall building opposite.

    Pretty good value for money and a great location close to the centre.

    It was very hot and the windows wouldn’t stay open, so we had to prop the windows open, eventually buying ourselves a fan. It might be an idea to have a fan at the property or the ability to open the skylight. There wasn’t enough cutlery. We would have had to take turns of a spoon was required! We managed to get the hob to work once, but not again after that and it wasn’t ideal having to lift the microwave out of the cupboard as the cable wasn’t long enough to reach a plug.

    It was in a great situation and was nice and clean

    Would have been nice if there was air conditioning as the room got quite warm.

    Decent sized room, comfortable bed - a little on the small side but it was fine for us. Location was great only a few minutes walk to the bus and close to the water.

    I should have checked before booking but it's situated on a busy road, and I was able to hear traffic throughout the night. The apartment had good facilities and was clean but crockery, cutlery and cooking equipment was not complete. There was also a lingering sewage like smell.

    Good, central location in close proximity to University of Bristol buildings.
