Branches of Balloons: Bristol

This stylish apartment is perfectly placed for a wholesome city break. It's close enough to the city centre that you can reach the cathedral in less than twenty minutes on foot, but it's far enough out to avoid the bustle of the city. It's the perfect balance.

Once you're out for the day, you're spoilt for choice in this vibrant city. Peruse the vintage stores and second-hand shops for chic clothing – there's even a market if you visit over the weekend. For more iconic brands, Cabot Circus Shopping Centre features all the household names, as well as a variety of food options.

For the foodies, Bristol is famed for its top-class restaurants and cute eateries. If pub grub is more your scene, there are a plethora of warm, welcoming pubs serving hearty food.

However you spend your days, you can rest any weary legs at the modern comfort of the apartment. A TV with Netflix lets you catch up on your favourite series, or you can just make a pot of tea before bed and discuss the adventures of tomorrow.

Home truths:
* There is a sofa bed in the living room which can comfortably fit two people
* If you wanted linen for the sofa bed, the host asks for two days notice
* The beds in the second bedroom will remain as twins, unless asked to be pushed together
* There is an elevator in the building to transport you between floors
