I stayed here whilst in between flats in Bristol. John was very friendly and helpful and didn't mind me storing loads of my belongings from the move in my room! There was plenty of free street parking, with great access to M32 and the big Tesco.
John is social and friendly, but also gives you all the privacy you need.
It's quite a long walk into town (about 40 minutes to Stokes Croft / Cabot Circus, but the busses are quick and regular. He allows use of the kitchen, however does ask for no cooking to be done after 7pm. This made it tricky for me as I finish work at 6/6:30, so generally just ate out whilst there.
I would highly recommend John's place!
