Phil's hospitality is amazing. The place was sparkling clean, cozy, with all the advertised amenities . It's definitely been among the top Airbnb experiences I've ever had.
A bit more details: I got to Phil's place almost 2 hours later than my arranged time, because of some delays in my flight, and other logistic last minute issues (one of them being by cellphone ran out of battery, so I could not let Phil know I would be later than agreed). He was cool with that, and waited until very late at night for me to show up, worrying about me showing up. He's a really caring and thoughtful host.
We had some interesting conversations about life. He is a man full of interesting stories, which will give you conversation if you feel like it, but will also respect your privacy and if he sees you're not up for a conversation at some point, even if you are in the common area (kitchen).
When it comes to the place, Phil's apartment is great value. The room is spacious, well heated, equipped with a nice desk on which to work, plenty of space in the room to stretch or do yoga, and a comfortable queen bed. The room is well lit with natural light coming from a decently sized window, which, due to being at the 4th floor, offers astonishing views of the City of Bristol. The kitchen is fully equipped, and Phil lets you use all the equipment (dishes, utensils, food in the fridge, different types of tea, etc.).
The bathroom is equipped with a spacious shower, offering water at a finely adjustable temperature and appropriate pressure.
As mentioned, the apartment is located at the top floor of the house, offering great views of City of Bristol. The house is located in a nice part of the town, just a 10-15 minute walk way from downtown/university.
I would definitely recommend Phil as a host. His apartment is a great value, definitely among my top Airbnb experiences.
