About the host
Hosted by Angela Hunter
I'm Angela and with my husband Richard own and manage 3 holiday rental properties in and around York. I was born in York and know the city backwards and am happy to help with recommendations and information before and during your stay.
Why they chose this property
We've always wanted a property in this area - walkable to the city centre and with all the Bishy Road shops, pubs and restaurants on our doorstep. We live here some of the time when we fancy a change from our main home in a nearby village.
What makes this property unique
Walkable to Bishy Road (2 mins), City centre (10-15 mins depending on which bit) and Knavesmire Racecourse (15 mins).
