The flat was a little tired and the area a bit run down, as expected of an old house in Montpelier/St Paul’s area but it was homely, clean and cosy, in a great position for exploring Bristol. The bed was comfortable (we slept better than at home!), the shower was very good and we were grateful for Kathleen sorting out a parking permit for us. Kathleen is a good host, who responded quickly to any questions we had and there were some nice touches, such as finding out what sort of milk we needed and providing bread, butter and marmalade for us. There were also plenty of herbal type teas but not much in the way of ordinary teas and coffee, so you may want to bring your own! The kitchen is a little basic and there's no microwave, so don’t make the mistake of buying a microwave meal for the evening, but the oven works well! We really enjoyed our stay in Kathleen's quirky flat in Bristol.
