I stayed at Orla's for a month after moving to Bristol. I'd never been to the city before and had to start work in the city centre immediately, so having a place to call and feel like home from the off made a huge difference. It was about a 25 min pleasant walk into the city and Bedminster (the local area) surprised me so much I ended up choosing to rent there long term! There's pubs, restaurants, cafes, supermarkets, parks and all the high street facilities you'd expect. Lidl was 5 mins away, North Street 3 mins, Bedminster station 10 mins and Temple Meads about 30. Loads of bus links nearby too, including to the airport. The room at Orla's is compact but very cosy, with a super soft bed and fully equipped bathroom next to it. The house is tastefully decorated and lots of effort is being put into improving it further right now. I had no problems finding everything I needed to prep dinners in the kitchen. All in all, I couldn't have asked for a better start to life in Bristol!
