The house is in a perfect location with easy access to M32 on what I would class as the edge of the city centre. Therefore there is unrestricted evening/weekend parking and Steph has permits for weekdays. It is less than 10min walk to Cabot Circus the start of the Bristol Shopping Area. You can walk to the far side of the city centre in 30min.

The house is immaculately clean and decorated. The room picture is representative, plenty of storage space, crisp bedding, towels, large window and no noticeable city noise. The bathroom has a good shower and bath. Steph provides basic provisions, fridge space and allows use of her Nespresso machine. There are 2 other communal rooms which guests are free to use.

As a host Steph is the perfect character. She is lively friendly and can't do enough to help, but is equally happy to let you do your own thing without pressure. She was engaging and knowledgeable about the area and has prepared tourist leaflets etc for her guests. She offered to make drinks, if I need anything from the supermarket and even beer.

Elsie is a very friendly dog and loveable from the start. She is well behaved and won't invade your space unless you invite her.

In all for a Bristol stay it was spot on for location, venue and host. Compared to hotel prices in Bristol it represents excellent value for money.

(Easton is a large area which can be considered to be a less favourable part of Bristol. I can say with confidence that this does not apply to Steph's home. She lives on a quiet one-way street and I walked round the neighbourhood day/night with no concerns for safety (or for the safety of more vulnerable people in my place). This applies for the whole route into the city.)
