Shelly's house is in a quiet area ( plenty of parking ) just of the main Wells Road which is only roughly a 25 minutes streight walk from Temple Meads station and then from there 10 mins into the city shopping areas. We loved All Nicholas Street markets as all independent shops and stalls with great choice of international food. Very reasonable price.
We had a chat with Shelly when we arrived. Shelly was easy going about just making sure we knew where everything was and getting on with our stay. We recommend Shelly's home as a good link to exploring Bristol City.
