From Georgian splendour and harbourside chic to medieval alleyways and rainbow terraces, Bristol certainly isn’t a city that's lacking when it comes to iconic residential locations. If your budget isn't mini, but you don't want to commit to buying in the current market, or you just don't fancy furnishing/heating a massive house, what can Bristol offer you in terms of its most premium but pricey two-bed flats in its very best addresses?

Clifton, Royal York Crescent - £3,500 pcm
Part of the Clifton conservation area, Royal York Crescent is one of the most expensive streets in Bristol, and it's not hard to see why. Construction on these elegant residences first began in 1791, offering an expansive panorama of the city and docks with convenient access to Clifton Village.
On the market with Alexandar May, this property is available furnished and boasts plenty of period features, with high ceilings, solid oak wood flooring and huge sash windows to make the most of its stunning views. At the rear, residents have access not only to well-maintained private gardens but also to a private outdoor space.
Christmas Steps - £2,700 pcm
Attracting Instagrammers and foodies alike, Christmas Steps is a shop-lined steep, winding ally that dates back to 1669, when a wealthy wine merchant paid for the construction of the steps over what was then a narrow muddy street leading from the bridge over the Frome to St Michael's church.
This short-term let has some of Bristol's favourite eateries on its doorstep and is situated within easy walking distance of the heart of the city. Bursting with character, the accommodation is spread over multiple floors connected by a wooden spiral staircase. It may be pricey, but as with all of Hopewell's short lets, it's fully furnished, and bills are included as standard.
Clifton Village - Victoria Street Square - £2,150 pcm
If you don't mind your neighbours and Sunday morning brunchers peering in through your windows, a ground-floor flat overlooking the park on Clifton's desirable Victoria Street Square is currently on the market with Savills and could be the perfect cosy rental pad.
With its own private garden, this Grade II-listed property includes a living room, traditional kitchen, dining room and utility and has just been reduced in price.
Harbourside, The General - £2,000 pcm
Housed in Bristol's former General Hospital, The General is a collection of apartments, duplexes and houses, each with something special and unique to offer. In the case of this modest two-bed, a massive curved terrace with stunning views over Bathhurst Basin will be a huge draw for many.
Offered furnished by the Bristol Residential Letting Company, the property includes two bedrooms and two bathrooms, with a master en-suite and an on-site concierge too.
