    Great location in a lovely area, especially good for parents of UoB students who live on The Vale. There are a few parking bays on site, but plentiful free street parking if these are all full. Spacious living and dining room, with access...

    It’s a very large flat in walking distance of the university with a big kitchen and adequate facilities for a short stay. Nice towels, large sofa, adequate heating. Fun to watch the squirrels playing out the back.
