About this property
3 Hampden Street · Stylish, Central 2-Bed York Terrace with Parking - Pass the Keys
* Central location, 5 minutes walk to city centre * Newly renovated throughout * Modern, high spec fixtures and furnishings * Addition of sofa bed, sleeps up to 6
Located in the pleasant neighbourhood of Bishophill, inside of the ancient city Bar Walls. York city centre is a stone's throw, and can be reached in 5 minutes on foot. The vibrant hub of Bishopthorpe Road is also 5 minutes walk away, where you can find many independent shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs.
Our period property dates back to the 1890s, and has been thoughtfully renovated and decorated throughout to a high standard. There are two double bedrooms and a sofa bed which makes accommodation suitable for up to 6 people. Families are welcome too - we've got a high chair and travel cot available to borrow.
Linen and towels are replaced with freshly laundered supplies between each stay. Remote self check-in gives flexibility for late arrivals, and 24/7 guest support is on hand should you need any assistance during your stay.
Ground Floor:
A separate entrance hall leads to the front living room and the second reception room which is open planned into the kitchen. The front living room is a nice quiet space to relax after a busy day out in the city. The sofa bed is situation in this room too. (The sofa bed is queen size.)
The kitchen space to the rear of the house is shared with the second reception room, making it a wonderfully social space. There are two large comfy sofas, a Smart TV (guest Netflix account and free view), and the Vodafone superfast broadband has a fast average speed of 67mb.
Our newly fitted kitchen has a modern farmhouse style; the countertops are oak effect, and the apron sink makes the space look homely. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, fridge freezer, hob, washer dryer, microwave, kettle and toaster. There's an addition of a Nespresso coffee machine which is compatible with Nescafe Dolce Gusto for anyone wishing to bring their own pods. The breakfast bar can seat up to three, and can be doubled up as a work from home station.
Access via the rear kitchen door is into a small private yard.
First Floor:
Upstairs are the two bedrooms and shower room (no bath).
The master bedroom has a king size bed, built in wardrobe, chest of drawers, night tables and lamps. In the second bedroom there is an Ottoman queen size bed and a hanging rail and shelving.
The newly fitted shower room is modern and contemporary, with black fixtures and fittings. The generously sized shower(no bath) benefits from a rainfall shower and handheld shower.
There will be some complimentary tea/coffee waiting for you which I am sure will be useful for those arriving after a long journey! Fresh white bedding and towels are provided (hand towel and bath towel per person), as well as miniature travel sized bottles of shampoo, shower gel and soap.
Other items included are a washing-up pack, toilet roll and kitchen roll, which will last a couple of days. If wish to purchase more for your stay there is a Sainsbury's Local or Costcutters on Bishopthorpe Road, a or another Sainsbury's Local on Micklegate, all are 5 minutes walk away.
I support responsible travel within the current restrictions, and therefore my property is available for booking where the purpose of your stay falls within the current guidelines set out by the local Government.
You'll have access to the entire house and yard.
CHECK IN / CHECK OUT Check-in time is after 4pm and check-out time is before 10am. A £30 charge will be requested if guests check themselves in early without permission or if guests do not check out on time as this will cause disruption to my cleaner’s schedule. Please note that you will be charged £100 for lost keys, so please be careful with them.
FAMILY FACILITIES A highchair, travel cot and mattress are provided. Guests are welcome to make use of the additional facilities however I politely ask that the travel cot is packed down and then returned back to its original place of storage before you check out. Don’t forget to bring their own cot bedding. Please make sure the highchair is wiped down after use and also stored away. Thank you.

We really enjoyed our stay at this flat. The location was perfect - close to the activities in York, but on a quiet street. It's a small place, but worked fine for our family of four. As others mentioned, the stairs are a bit steep and there's a wonky step to get from the master bedroom to the bathroom - but that's just part of being in an old home.

Thank you for your review and for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are most happy to hear that you have enjoyed your stay with us. We hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again soon.
Lovely property and the hosts, Pass the Keys, cannot be faulted. Their communication was exemplary.Apart from the 40 damage waiver being a bit pricey, the rooms were lovely and we appreciated the heating being on when we arrived. Heating was easy to adjust, which we needed to do when we were both awoken by the pipes when the heating came on at 5am! Kitchen had everything we needed and ice in the freezer was so useful.Only bad thing was we couldn't log onto netflix as a previous renter had left their account logged in, which prevented us from logging into the house account. Great placement ideal for town but far enough away to be peaceful. We will definitely be back!
