My partner and I stayed at Tim’s house for a month over January.
The first thing to say is that the room is really great and I think Tim’s underselling it! It’s a really large comfortable room with a view to the side over the city centre, and best of all, if and when the sun shines it’s all coming in the big windows - and this is worth a lot in a dark dreary British winter!
Secondly the location - if you want to be near the centre of Bristol it’s an ideal location as everything central is quite walkable from the house which is a huge bonus. And given that, the price was very good value.
With regards to the atmosphere in the house, Tim has quite a hands off approach and leaves you to get on with whatever you’re up to, which we were perfectly happy with. Don’t get me wrong, he’s friendly and will help you if you need anything, but he’s not the type to sit and chat with you for ages! Again, all good with us but don’t expect deep engagement.
The house, like many UK terraced houses, is three floors (room on first floor) and makes efficient use of space, which is also to say that sound travels through it pretty easily so expect to keep noise levels down.
The bathroom is shared which was all good, no issues at all there.
We cooked most nights and I think Tim was quite accommodating as we never felt rushed for time. He also bakes awesome bread!
There’s a communal dining room in which to eat, though note that the TV/lounge room doesn’t appear to be for guest access.
Overall we were very happy with our stay, the room, location and price resulted in incredibly good value and convenience.
