I stayed in this shared house for 5 nights. There are 4 double rooms and 1 single, so potentially I suppose there could be 9 people in the house at any one time. There is only one toilet which is in the small bathroom off the kitchen, which has a shower (no space for a bath). I think it definitely needs another separate toilet at least, as there were a number of times I wanted to use the toilet but someone was in there having a shower.
The kitchen is fine and we’ll equipped with plates, cutlery etc. there is a sofa in the kitchen but that is the only communal space (no lounge).
The location for getting in to the centre is excellent - less than a minute walk to the bus stop to get an option of several buses, which were very clean & reliable. However, parking round there was very very difficult to find a space. I also didn’t feel it was the safest of places and as a woman on her own, I did feel a bit intimidated when I walked home from town.
My room was fine enough, but it was a bit tired, with a stain on the carpet and on the wall and one of the three blinds was broken so you couldn’t put it up. There was no storage in my room at all, so I couldn’t hang up my work clothes or put other clothes in a draw, so I lived out of my bag, which I prefer not to do.
Be aware, my room (2) and room 1 and the single room upstairs are at the front of the house which overlooks the M32 flyover, so it is very noisy with traffic at all hours, so if you are a light sleeper you will definitely struggle.
Bonus is the huge Tesco 24hr superstore that is just the other side of the motorway flyover - you can walk there in about 5 minutes and also Eastville Park which is a huge area with gardens, open space & a lovely lake. A great place to go and relax and watch the sun set 😊
Aneta was very helpful and let me book in a day early, as I had messed up my booking.
Given how expensive Bristol is to find a good place to stay, this was cheap and on the whole good value, as the low price reflected the cons I have mentioned.
