I enjoyed my four-week stay at Jodie's. The room is clean and comfortable, and has a huge bed with a firm mattress, and roof windows which let in a lot of natural light in the day. As an artist, I appreciate and enjoy the decor and vibe in Jodie's home, which reflects Jodie's personality and also feels comfortable and welcoming at the same time :)
As a host Jodie is friendly, inviting, and helpful, and maintains a good balance between having conversations and giving me space when I need it. I've enjoyed our chats, and also meeting some of her friends and neighbours who visited during my stay.
One of Jodie's cats, Zee Zee, is almost always around in the house, and enjoys attention from visitors, so she came around to me almost every time I'm in the kitchen. I found her neediness to be rather amusing and I couldn't resist spending the time to pet her at times, but she does shed A LOT, and her fur kinda floats around somehow LOL, so be prepared that you will have cat hair on your clothes, even if you haven't been near her.
Overall, Jodie's home was a nice place to stay for a few weeks, located in a convenient neighbourhood with many stores and a couple of parks, and very easy to get a bus to and from the city centre, or a train to other parts of Bristol.
