Good place to stay. One mile into city center. 2 bedrooms are up 1 flight of very narrow & steep stairs. As a result, we chose to leave our suitcases downstairs. The bathroom was nice but downstairs. It has a washer & a drying rack which was very nice.

Property was in need of a little TLC. Some of internal doors didn't close properly which could be a problem if fire was to break out whilst in the property. Showerhead in need of cleaning (potential legionella risk)Sofa was quite shabby & in need of cleaning. Stair carpet a little loose on couple of the steps. However it was suitable for our needs on this occasion as we didnt need to spend a lot of time in the property. I'm sure these things we have pionted out can easily be rectified so shouldn't put others off booking if put right.

Lovely house for a stay in York.

Lovely house in a nice area with plenty of parking. Very clean with all the essentials you would need . Only about 15 minutes walk to the city so perfect really if you don't have a car. Great communication with Angela . Would definitely recommend.

Compact, Comfortable, Convenient

A modernised small terraced house with steep stairs and small kitchen in a good location. Some minor niggles like loose toilet seat, stiff door lock and scraping bathroom door. A few more basic supplies like salt and kitchen roll would have helped plus a non-slip mat in the bathroom.

Comfortable clean home with everything we needed and 15 min walk into York,which is a lovely town with plenty of shops. Also shops nearby including a fish and chip shop. Only downside was trouble parking but we found somewhere not too far away.

Great little house within easy walking distance to the city

The house was warm and cosy and spotlessly clean. Bed linen, towels, loo rolls provided as well as dish cloths, tea towels, washing up liquid and liquid hand wash soap. Free parking on the street and only a 15 minute walk to city centre.Will definitely stay here again

Just perfect

Small but perfect in every way. Clean , tidy , warm. Comfy linen and beds. Perfectly clean white towels provided too. Location to centre was perfect about 20 min walk. Could probably do faster but I was in a wheelchair so the dining room off the hallway was accessible to fold and store this away rather than putting back in car every time.Free parking was great. Street was very busy but we were very lucky to get a spot just opposite the house. Would definitely stay again. Thankyou

A cozy home from home for a stay in York and with easy access to the Moors.

Delightful small house, in a good location, walkable to the centre of York. The listing was detailed and accurate and communication with the host was good, with ample notes left in the house. There were three in our party and space and amenties were quite sufficient.

A lovely little property, tucked out of the way 15 minutes walk from one of the gates to the city of York. We parked the car and then left it there. There were local buses but we didn't feel the need to use them. A very modern downstairs bathroom. The stairs were narrow but were aware of this in the comprehensive details. The host was very communicative and let us know all details in ample time. Thanks Angela (and John)

A perfect home base to discover York from.

In a nice quiet neighbourhood on the outskirts of York, with ample parking. This lovingly maintained townhouse was the perfect starting point for our city trip to York. A 15 minute walk by some fine architecture takes you to the heart of the city. Perfect for a family getaway. The connecting walls are a bit thin however, so you there is no ABSOLUTE silence when the neighbours are home.

Absolutely lovely

The house is in a lovely quiet street and we easily found parking right outside. Good selection of local shops and takeaways a 2 min walk away. Walking into town took about 20 mins, but we were walking with my 10 year old. The decor is lovely; neutral and tasteful. Modern kitchen and bathroom that looked like new. We used the kitchen a lot; it had everything we needed to make lunches and dinners. The check-in process was so easy and the owner was very response to my messages. Loved the extra touches like books, games, and DVDs to use. We had a wonderful stay here!
