Very pleasant partner of owner welcomed us. Great location close to Clifton above and floating harbour below. I always like to have some empathy for hosts or hosted - I run a large group accommodation centre myself and know how hurtful unsympathetic criticism can be. In effect the apartment was under construction and should probably have been withdrawn from airbnb until the bathroom had been renovated. The rest of the rooms: living/dining room excellent with good decor and massive tv; bunk/couch room interestingly decorated but fine; kitchen fine; double room - i was warned that the built in cupboard was under construction - fine - the double was interesting with a large piece of foam over a mattress - not sure why but didnt need to investigate as i had only stayed one night - bedding i have to say smelt damp/musty.
But I'm afraid the bathroom was unacceptable - spartan flooring, hair around the bath which really wasn't clean, a sponge on the shower which seemed to be a project to grow a wig from beard hair. You have to ask yourself - would your mum have enjoyed or even accepted the bathroom experience? On this basis I am frankly astonished at the highly favourable reviews - perhaps they have only student flats to compare it with. With airbnb I have had wonderful flats (also in Bristol) and also stayed on a couch in someone's front room (Bath) and enjoyed all of these experiences. I'm afraid this one should be taken off airbnb until the bathroom is more habitable. The bedroom points i would have put up with for a night but no more. Sorry.
