Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Bedminster has so much creativity and so many things to do. You could never be bored! We are next to the airport bus stop, 20 minutes and you’re at Bristol ready to fly!
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Communal gas not mains, makes it VERY expensive. Also City and Countey fail to recycle our waste.
What is the best feature of your home:
En suite bathroom as a whole! The gold fixtures and wet room are lovely.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
It is only a 5-10 minute walk to the centre, the river is close by and the harbourside is great during the summer. The Bedminister train station is also very convienent to get to Temple Meads and London. The area around the development is being improved very quickly with a few new nice restaurants opening up recently.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I had known about the management company, would have fixed issues myself instead of contacting them and waiting endlessly.
What is the best feature of your home:
My apartment is very spacious with a modern look while keeping the original wooden panelling. Great blend of antique and modern tastes.
