General overview
Our home is in a quiet cul-de-sac located on the north of the city - originally a village which has now been absorbed into the city. There are easy transport links into Bristol and the countryside. The Cotswolds, Bath and Cardiff are each about an hours drive away.
Bristol has a vibrant music scene and lovely parks and harbourside. There are also regular festivals during the summer months including the International Balloon Fiesta, Bristol Harbour Festival, Street Art, Jazz and Kite. And don't forget about our famous local artist Banksy whose work can be seen on many city buildings.

Notes
Our home is strictly non smoking, however you are welcome to smoke outside but please dispose of the butts considerately.
Our home is a shoes off home and we'd appreciate it if you didn’t wear your shoes inside.
We don't have any pets but welcome well-behaved non-shedding dogs downstairs.
I have put together detailed information on local transport options which I can provide upon request.
We don't have a regular cleaner so you will be responsible for this aspect of any exchange, however we can contact our occasional cleaner to see if she is available (at your own cost).
