Aaaah where do I begin...not sure how best to express our thanks and and sing our praises but here's a humble attempt. If you're looking for a classic AirBNB experience... this is it - experience Bristol through its people, the way AirBNB was initially set up to be. Joanne is wonderful, curious, gentle and beautiful and an extremely hospitable and community-oriented human being and we hit it off from the get go. She was incredibly communicative and kind even before we got to her house. Once there and at an unsocially late hour, she offered a delicious soup and wine to us weary travellers and more importantly...freshly baked bread! Our room was just perfect for the long weekend and might I say, very tastefully done - the whole house feels like her creative love nest to be honest. She baked us fresh bread every morning and also made us a scrumptious banana bread made of spelt, coconut and spices. Her house is located in a neighbourhood with lots of character and diversity, which we absolutely loved. Great spot to discover this grungy city on foot, she knows all the haunts that will complete your visit and make it memorable. If you're considering staying here...don't think twice! I was sad to leave but am confident that I earned a friend and certainly felt like I stayed with one!
Lots of love and gratitude for hosting us, Joanne - you've perfected the art of hosting and thank you for walking us to the train station to bid us farewell, we will be back soon for sure!
