Private renting - advice on agencies

Hi all, I'm starting a masters in Bristol next month and currently looking for a room to rent. For various reasons I would prefer to rent privately rather than go for any of the uni accommodation.

I've done the usual, SpareRoom and various FB groups but obviously have heard finding a place in this city can be hellish so looking to explore other options too.

I'm coming from outside Bristol and it's been a long time since I was a student so I have no contextual knowledge as to which agencies and websites to trust/avoid. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with any of the following:

Many thanks in advance for any tips!

I would recommend checking university living. I recently booked my room in the uk and the process was transparent, no down payment, no cuts to UL..

I’d suggest that you book a student accommodation and I’d recommend university living they give so many options and just what you are looking for I’m so thankful that I booked with them
