I booked a place for my parents to stay which was very amenable of Maria to host them. They dont have the Air bnb app but asked me to book them somewhere to stay that would be a good location in Bristol. They chose to come by train and travelled up from Bournemouth. I ended up picking them up from Clifton Down train station as they felt nervous of finding there way there by foot. The drive was a 4-6 minute journey from train station to Maria’s house. I was happy to find that her house is situated in a beautiful part of Redland that I would say is also Clifton. It’s about a 5 minute walk from her house to the main road (Whiteladies rd) which has an endless choice of top Bristol restaurants. This is the classier side of Bristol. Perfect for my parents coming to visit as there are many unsafe-feeling parts of Bristol. This is Bristol’s affluent side but also close to the student area. From Whiteladies road there are constant buses into the city centre. If you download the Uber app we only paid £7 to get back to Maria’s from Kings street in the city centre after finishing a late dinner. I would definitely recommend staying at Maria’s . The house is stunning and she clearly has a talent for interior decor. We were really pleased that Maria offered us a parking permit for the day as free parking in that part of Bristol is almost impossible to find. This is a very accessible and safe part of Bristol. Really greatful for the warm welcome you gave my parents . I was hoping I could show them the pretty side of Bristol and make them understand why I chose to move here. You were the perfect host and made all the difference to their stay. They love to be able to chat to their hosts and come home with interesting stories of people they’ve met. Top marks! Thanks again. Hope to be able to book your room again in the future if it’s not all booked up :)
