Wished we could’ve stayed longer! Perfect location and oh so quiet. The apartment itself had everything we needed, and was so tastefully decorated. Not far from the train station and the centre of town. Would definitely stay here again. Perfection

Wonderful stay in York

We had the most amazing stay in York and owe it all to our fabulous host Sharon. We have stayed in many VRBOs and this place was definitely at the top. Lovely, comfortable, short walk to the city center, and we highly recommend to anyone visiting York. Can't wait to visit again.

Such a great little place just steps away from everything you want to see in York. We spent most of our short time there sight-seeing but we've already recommended this place to friends who live in the UK.

Ideal place for a city break

Sharon's townhouse is located in the city and close enough to walk to all the main city attractions. The house is clean, tidy and well appointed. All necessary amenities are thoughtfully provided. I'll happily stay here at my next visit.

Comfortable, spacious, very quiet.

Comfortable, spacious, very quiet. About half way between train station and center of town. Easy walk to both. Two levels. There is a full shared bathroom upstairs, shower only off the master bedroom, and toilet only downstairs. I appreciated that the total cost was clearly stated (so no additional „cleaning” etc, charges. We’d stay here again on the next trip.

Perfect location and gorgeous property

We had a fantastic 3 night stay in York. Sharon was extremely responsive and very accommodating. The location is in a quiet neighborhood but steps away from the Ouse Bridge into the city center and also an easy walk to the Mickelgate City Wall area. The home is modern, well appointed and comfortable. Sainsbury’s is just around the corner and Tesco just across the bridge. One of the best homes we’ve stayed in. We’d definitely book again if we find our way back to York in the future.

Beautiful, modern, spacious apartment steps away from York center

We loved everything about the apartment. It has a new and modern feel. Communication from the owners was top class. The only note is that it was a bit hard to find the place, as Google Maps did not know the exact address. We ended up entering 10 Bishophill Senior, York and then walking 30 steps to the courtyard and finding number 10 in there.

beautiful large home

This is the largest VRBO so far on our vacation— so much room to spread out and in a great location—less than 10 min walk to train station, 14 min walk to the Minster. Lots of small cafes and pubs. Very quiet. only oddity is that the o ly full bath with toilet, sink, and shower is upstairs. Another bedroom upstairs has shower and sink, but no toilet. .Second toilet is downstairs with no bathing.

About the host

Hosted by Sharon Barton

Host profile image
We are a family of 4. Two children aged 10 (girl) and boy 6. We live in Formby Liverpool. My husband is originally from York, hence our love of the beautiful city.

Why they chose this property

We have looked for the right property for over 10 years and eventually found this gem. It is situated inbetween the Bishophill area of York which is an up and coming area attracting many independent shops and restaurants and bars and the City Centre. The house is extremely comfortable. Since purchasing the property in November 2015 we have completely overhauled the property including roof, heating, electricity, kitchen, bathrooms, carpets etc etc. This property wasn't furnished with the intention of a holiday let but for a second home. Since my son has started to play cricket at weekends and we can not visit as often as usual we have decided to let the house.

What makes this property unique

Location, interior design, comfort, luxury.
