Very quiet and comfortable

The house very comfortable with a well equipped kitchen. The unit was very clean and just like the photos. Check in was very simple and quick. The surrounding area was very quiet and close to shopping and restaurants. The only improvement i would suggest is the shower. There is an over 1 foot step up into the shower. Not bad on the way in but difficult on the way out. The handle on the wall helps. One step would solve the issue. Overall we loved it.

Lovely stay over 4th July

We had a lovely stay at the villa over the 4th July, everything was just as it looked in the pictures, large bedrooms and good amenities. Great communication between the owners and us. If we come back to Bristol we will definitely try and stay again.

Nice and clean space

I had to fly in for work and I brought the family. Location is great for my job and price was better than all hotels around. It was larger and had a kitchen. I wished it had more than one bathroom but no one’s fault. Stay was great!

We stayed for 10 days

We are local and had to stay here while our house was unable to be in. Better than a hotel- more comfier. Rooms are a good size, neighborhood is perfect for walks and you're close to everything you could possibly need on Route 6.

Bristol Villa

We stayed at this location for a quick trip back home for a sweet 16. The location was very close to everything, 5 minutes to coffee, restaurants and grocery stores. 15 minutes to Westfarms mall. It was extremely clean and tidy. Check in was very easy as was check out. Owner was very responsive. Great stay!

Great hospitality

Quaint & accurately depicted! The host was thoughtful and great at communicating. We definitely felt welcomed. It resembles a private in-law dwelling (located separately behind main house) in a nice area.
