This is definitely a spot for people looking for an authentic home atmosphere. It's very human place with a lot of personality. Tony is peaceful and personable and makes sure you feel at home. He knows Bristol well, and I would say that staying in his home is a great way to experience Montpelier, as it seems the home is imbued with the uniqueness of the area itself. Though he lives there and there are other guests I never once experienced inconveniences with access to the house's amenities. The rooftop view is truly stunning, and makes the home stand out (you're able to see it clearly on Google maps). I'm not sure if this stay is for everyone, but I felt a kindred energy there, as a musician, artist and multiculturally-minded person. I would love to return to this house and have tea with Tony again!
The one warning I'll give, not too much of a complaint, but there are windows on the ceiling of the room so when it rains, it rains against the glass which can be a bit noisy. This is an insignificant worry compared to all else that the home offers.
