We had a lovely stay in Heather's spacious house. It was to use a cliché, "a real home from home". Sophie the host's manager was really accommodating with our arrival time as we had a lot of luggage, groceries and extras to drop off. She was really punctual in her replies to my many messages which is so important when you first arrive at your Airbnb.
We are really familiar with Bristol and I used to live there when I was a student ( in the 80's) but I did not know St. Weburgh's existed before our trip. The directions were good and we found the area to be a real community. There were some little shops and a pub which our daughter's recommended called "The Farm" nearby. Heather's house is in a pretty terrace which we found with not much difficulty. It would be tricky to park a big car as it has street parking but we managed ok and we had a lot of to-ing and fro- ing to Clifton and back and we always secured a place with not much difficulty.
The house was clean and organised and all the basic household commodities were provided; washing up liquid, tea and coffee ( although we brought our own coffee machine with us and tea leaves, thank heavens there was a teapot. There was also olive oil, salt and pepper and all the pots, pans, utensils needed. Including a cork screw which is a must and a cheese grater. We fully utilised the kitchen/dining area as well as the cute garden as it was a very special occasion for us, it was our daughter's Graduation and she wanted us to cook for a few of her close friends on the evening before the event and make a breakfast for everyone the following morning. Heather has an amazing bathroom which is very similar to ours, as we also have a roll top bath which I never use, but enjoyed having a bit of time to have a quick bath at Heather's with the luxurious bubble bath and soap. Thank you for that!
The towels were quite new and freshly laundered and 100% Egyptian cotton ( my favourite) and the mattresses were so comfortable, unusual in an Airbnb. There wasn't time to watch tv but the sofa was very comfy and the house is really tastefully furnished. I have already recommended this house to another friend whose son and their girlfriend are moving to Bristol and she knows how fussy I am, so she has already got the details! If we could buy this house we would, what else can I say. Hope to stay again soon? I bet it's nice in the winter too?
