About the area:

- Convenient for major employment areas including Abbey Wood, Stoke Gifford, Parkway Station and the City Centre
- It’s in a residential area and is not on a main road.
- Easy walking distance (10 or 15 minutes) to St Werburghs, for great pubs like the Miners Arms and The Farm, great shops like The Better Food Company and Artrageous, Bristol’s best climbing wall (Undercover Rock) and other local amenities
- About half an hour’s walk (a mile and a half) to more shops, bars and pubs on Fishponds Road

- For public transport, nearby busses go to many locations including Gloucester Road, Horfield, Fishponds, the City Centre and Temple Meads and Parkway railway stations

The small-print:
- The house is shared but each person has a separate contract – so you’re never responsible for somebody else’s unpaid rent.
- As the bills are included, they are paid by the landlord so you’re not responsible for unpaid utility bills.
- You pay a deposit which is held by The Deposit Protection Service against unpaid rent (your own rent only, not other people’s), lost keys and damage/cleaning.
- I normally use a standard 6-month minimum contract but if you want something shorter I’m happy to agree a minimum let of 3 months.
- A deposit of £300 is required (will be held for you by the Deposit Protection Service)
