Friendly and welcoming owner who organised a parking permit for the duration of our stay (very much appreciated) and provided an information booklet of local establishments and attractions. Great location within walking distance of the city and the canal. Well-equipped kitchenette and loads of toiletries and loo paper. Being below street level, the room stayed cool (lovely in the current hot weather). Plenty of natural light coming from the door and window, so it didn’t feel like a bunker.

Steep and narrow stairs down to the front door. Not an issue for us but it might be for less-mobile travellers.

The Art Studio is in a fantastic location and has a wonderful host Emma, who is an amazing artist and so wonderfully friendly. I am so pleased this place popped up for me on Bookings, (fate was calling), and I booked straightaway. You really will not be disappointed if you do. I enjoyed every part of my stay in March I spent 3 amazing nights in a amazing cozy bed surrounded by Emma's art work and a peaceful setting. Everything is in close proximity from this home from home, Including the train station. If you want to go slowly walking, shop, eat, enjoy nature, explore the historical sights of Bath or have a Thermal Spa, Bath really does have it all. There is so much to do and see in this glorious place and your host Emma is so friendly and on hand, (in person or via message), to give you great suggestions or answer any questions that you have. The Art Studio, (which is a huge studio by the way), helped me to chill, reset my mind and just was so cozy all that was missing was my cat and I could have stayed there forever.😂 It was great having a whole space to myself. I would highly recommend as this place is exceptional. The sun shone all the days I was in Bath. Of course it did - I was staying in the crème de la crème! Book it before you miss out and as an added bonus you can buy the art literally off the walls. Fantastic! Make sure you view Emma's work online If you can't get to stay here as The Art Studio is in high demand and booked in advance. Emmas work is on all the social media platforms and Etsy. emmataylorart.com If you do get the opportunity to book The Art Studio you can take a piece of Bath and the Art Studio home with you. Emma thank you for everything. I hope to return very soon. Lucia

Emma is a very responsive and accommodating host. She is also a talented artist! We greatly appreciated her help with a slightly later checkout, after getting up at 3 am on Sunday to drive to Stonehenge for a Sunrise visit. Thank you Emma! The Art Studio is a compact well organised studio perfectly located close to everything in Bath. We enjoyed our two night stay and would have loved to stay longer. Some issues with plumbing but minor. Bath in general struggles with wi-fi connectivity. However we weren't there for that reason! Thanks Emma. Good luck with the artwork. !

Nothing.

Lovely little floor apartment, it was super close to town, pubs, shops, and restaurants. Extremely comfy bed with extra pillows and blankets , fully equipped kitchen with a bottle of milk left for us and some cookies, which was a lovely thoughtful gesture and much appreciated, parking was simple Emma sorted that we just called her when we arrived, would definitely stay again .

Steps are quite steep going down in the apartment, not such a problem for us a young couple, but they might be for others to get your case down, but they are well lit up at night .

We liked the beds abd cleanliness. The location was very convenient. It was good to be able to close a door between the kitchen and bedroom areas. The best factor was the timely and friendly communication with the host, especially given the booking from Australia and coordination with our friend here in the UK.

The narrow stairs down to the front door was a bit tricky with heavy suitcases and quite challenging on the way up. Otherwise, no problems at all.

Everything was fantastic. From the communication before and during our stay, to the little touches that made our time in Bath even more memorable. The location is perfect, as it’s a little more quiet and private but very close (5 minute walk) to the centre. The apartment is cosy, cool and clean and the artwork throughout is lovely. Bed is very comfortable and slept well both nights. Shower is nice and big. Em is lovely and very helpful - she made my boyfriend’s surprise birthday trip extra special as she baked a cake and organised balloons for the room before we arrived. I would definitely recommend staying here when visiting Bath, and we would return to this apartment on our next stay

Everything! Apartment is just a short walk from the train station and main town - very walkable, even with suitcases. The bed was comfortable and Emma, the host, was lovely! Would gladly stay again would recommend to my friends.

Bathroom had no extractor fan or place to put your toileteries bag - a shelf would be great but we survived ;) also recommend putting castor's on the wheels of the bed as it moved everytime we got in and out but this just made us giggle! Honestly, was a great stay and these are just little things :)

Excellent location for the town centre, super comfortable bed, pleasant temperature, nice rain shower. Good to have a coffee machine and cafetiere and a large selection of teabags. Hardly any traffic noise and the apartment was dark for sleeping. Everything looked clean and fresh. Wifi was good and reliable. It was Christmas so the apartment had a few discreet decorations inside and two mince pies were left for us, as well as a small jug of milk in the fridge, which was a thougtful touch. Nice artwork all around and cards available to purchase. Further information (neutral): It's a basement apartment accessed via 11 steep narrow stone steps on a curve. There is no handrail but the descent it is well-lit. Once inside there is no view out, except for onto a bit of wooden fence right next to the kitchen window. The kitchen is very well-equiped, with pots and pans, cutlery, crockery, a toaster, microwave, kettle and fridge, but very cramped with no space to prepare any food. The tiny eating area (breakfast bar) is only just about deep enough for one plate and barely long enough for two people and the two chairs do not fit underneath it side by side. The bathroom size is adequate, although the sink is so tiny it's quite a challenge to brush ones teeth! Washing-up liquid and tea towels were provided and there were plenty of toilet rolls. In the evenings there was noise from above and from the adjoining room, such as footsteps, talking, pets running around and barking, but completely silent in this regard during the night. It seemed to be a safe area.

Parking provision - Emma organised a zone 2 parking permit for us, but there were no spaces available near the apartment nor in the two adjoining roads, so we had to walk quite a way with our luggage (not much, luckily). Given the ratio of dwellings to zone 2 parking places in the vicinity, I would be surprised if it is ever possible to park within a reasonable distance of the apartment.

Very convenient and quiet. A few minutes walk to Widcombe main. Street as typical an English town high street as you could want with nice pub and eating options. Also of course pretty close to the sights of Bath. Very nicely appointed unit.

Not a problem for me yet but access is down a rather steep set of stairs, probably best avoided if you’re a bit wobbly on your feet.

Great location, within walking distance to all the sites, like the Baths, Circus and the Gravel path, Poultney Brg and not forgetting Sally Lunns.

We were lucky with the parking and found a spot a few hundred metres away and found another spot closer in the morning since we walked everywhere and it's so close to the city, but had we used the car daily looking for a place to park would have difficult, permits are required, our host provided ours so we could park on the street.
