Paul's place is exactly what he says it is--a quiet, creative space that's perfect for thoughtful people. It's just close enough to the city center to be a nice walk but it's also close enough to the train and buses to make it fairly convenient getting to other areas. Victoria Park is a short walk up the hill and a beautiful area to wander around. Paul was flexible and a good host, arranging for me to get the keys so I could arrive earlier than his return (thank you so much for that, again!) and messaging me any info. I might need about the place so I knew how everything worked before I arrived. This is a really good place for people to stay who are independent, chill, and looking for a place to recollect their thoughts in the midst of hectic travel. Paul has an interesting book collection he's happy to let guests peruse and I enjoyed a rainy evening to myself reading through a few. I would absolutely stay at Paul's again if I passed through Bristol.
