I had a lovely 2 night stay in Flat 2 Prince Studios. It’s an easy 20-25 minute walk from Temple Meads train station. Check in was easy using the key code and lock box. Fab location - just 30 seconds from the harbour side and a 2 minute walk to the centre with Sainsburys local, Subway and several bars etc. all within 2 min stroll. Easy to get to Broadmead with several mini supermarkets such as Sainsburys and Tesco Metro / Express all close by.
The apartment itself has everything you need. I booked this because of the kitchen facilities as I like to cook rather than eat out. I had some issues with the electric hob, but a friendly lady from Hopewell popped over and helped me. The hob could perhaps do with some instructions as it’s not easy to use though. Communication with Hopewell was great. I messaged them in the Airbnb app and they replied promptly.
There is a decent size fridge with a small freezer (although larger than I was expecting so that was good!), oven, microwave, toaster, kettle, various cutlery, utensils, and tableware. Washing up liquid provided and also use of the dishwasher! Plenty of pots / pans to use for cooking.
There are plenty of handy hooks for coats / towels / clothes storage. Full length mirror was handy. Bed is comfy enough. The flat is noisy (the road) but you are pre-warned about this so I was anticipating lots of noise so no big deal. You can hear conversations of people walking past so it really is quite loud. The walls are also thin so you can hear other apartments’ doors slamming etc late at night which disturbed me more than the outside noise!
Shower was electric so not the most amazing water pressure but lovely and hot nonetheless. Plenty of towels provided and 2 small shampoo and body wash samples. Liquid hand soap and a bar both provided for the sink. Handy storage shelf for all your toiletries. It wasn’t the CLEANEST place I’ve stayed at - there was a handprint on the TV, long brown hair hanging off the bathroom sink, general griminess on kitchen floor near oven etc. I did wipe round TV remote / door handles etc. with my own anti bac wipes just to be safe with Covid etc :) But overall was tidy!
There are some little things that could also be improved. For example:
- installing a toilet roll holder.
- having proper oven gloves rather than just a tea towel (as I managed to burn my hand on the oven tray!).
- some smaller baking/oven trays for use in the oven as the only current one is massive and hard to handle.
- a small bedside table would have been nice.
- perhaps a fan in the storage cupboard available to use (it was very hot overnight and I felt unsafe leaving the window open as Flat 2 is on the ground floor adjacent to the street).
Overall, I had a great stay and am glad I booked this cute little apartment! Thanks for having me!
