We were satisfied beyond our highest expectations with the lodgings, facilities and the welcome served up by Frank. Easily, this was one of the best guest experiences ever. Here’s a list of the points of satisfaction.
The location is central, yet tucked away from the main traffic
There are several places around to buy, almost, whatever one needs
The address was exact and required absolutely no searching or inquiring
The keys were available to us without any waiting
The interiors were spotlessly clean, tidy and well arranged
We were very clearly explained about the facilities upon entering the premises
We were pleasantly surprised by the abundance of facilities - perhaps some homes also would lack some of them
All equipment and devices were easy to operate and in working order
The crockery, cutlery, kitchen utensils, other implements and supplies were not only adequate but also in perfect condition
There is running hot and cold water and interior heating
The dining and kitchen area floor has a warm red ceramic floor. The sitting and sleeping areas have a superbly polished wooden floor
Almost all the light fittings in the living area are modern and equipped with dimmers
The sitting room looks out on to a pleasant open space
The bathroom is equipped with a state of the art shower cabin and enough illumination options to suit one’s mood
While there is a queen sized bed, those with broader beams like us can always pull out the sofa to have a comfortably spacious sleeping perch
There was also an adequate supply of tea, coffee, sugar, salt and pepper
There’s even a little library of very informative books, depending one’s reading preferences and interest. Bristol spoke to us from these books, even before we stepped out again
All these bits and pieces of an unforgettable interior experience were encapsulated in the ‘CHARLEY BOX’, a former lock up tastefully and carefully restored by Frank. The squealing front door completed the entire never-to-be-found-anywhere experience
Then there was Frank. His hosting us out surpassed any of the superlatives we’ve used above. He was a constant guiding influence to enjoy the joys of Bristol. It’s difficult to remember the last time someone made a commercial transaction seem like a long standing friendship
Well done Frank. Thanks a million for being such a delightful host. We’ve stayed with you twice already. Please be ready for us inflicting our presence on you many more times.
