To say that Johnie is a great host is an understatement. Due to pending rail strikes that were announced after we had booked, we had to change the dates of our stays not once, but twice. Johnie worked with us on both occasions. His communication once we had settled on the exact dates was also fabulous. Directions to the apartment, check-in procedures and recommendations where to eat, etc., were spot on. He really is a host’s host.
As for the apartment, it was centrally located, clean, and comfortable. Don’t be put off by the small alley way you need to navigate to get to the entrance, or the somewhat rough hallway leading to the apartment. You have an elevator to get you to your floor, which makes lugging suitcases easier. You are in what we found to be a safe, albeit busy part of Bristol, surrounded by restaurants, bars and shops. At night it can get a little noisy while listening to TV, however, that died down and in any event, you could not hear it in the bedroom, which is in the back of the apartment. The apartment itself while a little old, proved a great base for touring. Stocked with a variety of teas, coffee, milk, breakfast cereals and a vase of fresh cut flowers (yes, flowers), this was a very nice place to stay. Would stay here again if back in Bristol. Thanks again Johnie. George and Franki
