Marco is a great host. We were a family of 3 and had a wonderful time in Marco's gorgeous flat. Everything was as described and we had no problems getting in or finding the place. It is even better than the pictures. It is HUGE and very, very comfy and attractive with lots of interesting art and baskets and beautifully decorated. The beds are really comfy too. We felt completely at home and a bit reluctant to go out at all! However, we did drag ourselves out and Cotham is a very good base for seeing Bristol, restaurants close by as well as easy access by bus and foot to the museums and the waterfront. It's walkable to Whiteladies Road, Clifton and Gloucester Road all of which have independent shops and cafes to browse. Our first night we ate at Wall Fish, a restaurant recommended by Marco which we all loved. We visited @ Bristol, but didn't go to any of the other museums as we were having such a nice time just mooching about. We were all sad to leave.
