This place was absolutely beautiful, pristine condition. The hosts were so gracious, we highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a comfortable, safe and convenient location in the Bristol area!
We were in Bristol for a wedding and can’t say enough about this beautiful apartment. Clean and spacious with every detail thought out. Highly recommend!
My 6 weeks at Laura and Simon’s Historic Apartment were beyond perfect (if you can imagine that). With their background in architecture, they were able to update this apartment to magazine quality. The location was ideal for walking everywhere. We logged a lot of miles during our stay.
I completely understand and agree with their super host rating.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this historic apartment, conveniently located to area attractions. It felt like home away from home with a well stocked kitchen, comfortable furniture and spacious bathrooms. The split bedroom layout affords privacy, with closet space that is not only adequate, but had enough hangers for all our clothing! lol The charming decor, eclectic furnishings and vintage accents create a warm atmosphere. I love the copper windowsill in the front bedroom and bronze bathroom sink. Simon was attentive without being intrusive and we appreciated his communication. We look forward to staying again on a future trip to Bristol.
Was visiting Bristol for a wedding at Mount Hope Farm and the apartment was just perfect! Clean, bright, well outfitted (even coffee and filters - so thoughtful). Simon was very easy to communicate with. So close to Mount Hope Farm and walkable to shops and restaurants. Wish all VRBO’s were this great!
A house with a very long and fascinating history, meticulously and tastefully restored. Great floor plan; modern appliances and utilities; comfortable furniture and beds. Quiet, convenient, and walkable neighborhood. Front and back porches. Simon and Laura were wonderful hosts. Would definitely stay again.
