To our fellow travelers: Like us, you've stayed in every kind of lodging out there, and you've experienced a wide range of surprises and satisfaction levels. You've been delighted by the unexpected treats and luxury touches, and you've been disappointed by the unexpected bugs, dust or clutter. Entering the "Live Like a Local" lofts hosted by Karen and Monica in Bristol, expect plenty of the pleasant and have no dread of the disappointing. We stayed in Loft #3 for six nights, and I constantly marvelled at how clean it was and how much thoughtfulness went into the details of this charming, comfortable downtown getaway. From the coffee and tea supplies to the variety of snacks, from the ample supply of towels to the courtesy toiletries, from the warm, fluffy throws and comforters to the detailed TV streaming instructions, from the white noise machine and earplugs to the spacious closet, from the sunny outside deck to the private laundry facilities - you get the picture - these ladies have provided everything you need to truly settle into a relaxing time away. And the setting? Truly the heart of picturesque historical downtown Bristol, totally walkable to a variety of quaint, local shops, restaurants and breweries. Treat yourself and build some memories in this welcoming little haven.
