The location was great, house comfortable and parking good. But honestly the place needs a good scrubbing. There is an ant problem in the kitchen and a bad smell under the sink.

Great Location

Overall, a decent spot for a family to stay in York. Great location and quiet neighborhood. Easy to walk everywhere. The property manager was very flexible in allowing us to drop luggage off so we didn’t have to carry it around all afternoon and was very responsive. It might not be the most updated apartment, but other qualities win out. Would stay here again.

Half term break in York

We enjoyed our 5 day stay in this property visiting the sites of York and catching up with our son who is at university there. It is in a fantastic central location, walking distance from the station and all main attractions and restaurants. It was comfortable, well equipped and clean. We would recommend it to friends and family wanting to visit York.

Great location, but only one bath

We enjoyed our stay in York immensely. Everything in the two story apartment was satisfactory, but the description clearly states two bathrooms. Not so. There is one spacious bathroom and one shower. The shower is the only plumbing in the second bath off the main bedroom. No sink, no toilet. The other unsatisfactory issue was the floor at the top of the stair landing and at the bathroom entrance. It squeaked and groaned terribly and could be heard in all parts of the flat. Any movement during the night in the small bedroom or the hall leading to the bathroom was loud enough to wake everyone. The apartment would be great for two adults, but for a family of four, not so much.

Hi. We had a great stay, as before. Cannot fault it, right near the centre of York and parking, its a great house. Just some issues you may not be aware of, it is not a critisism. Shower door rubber in bathroom coming off, door key gets stuck sometimes difficult to lock and signal problems with tv, cant hardly get any channels. Overall its a perfect getaway. Hope to stay again. Carol & John

Beautiful flat to spend our 5 days in York.Comfy beds, nice kitchen to have our breakfasts in and location couldn’t be any better. Short walk to everything. There are some stairs to access bathroom and bedrooms but were manageable even after long days of touring.Check in process was a breeze and near by pubs were great. It was a great place to stay and would highly recommend.

Wonderful townhouse in the perfect location

We absolutely loved out stay in York. The property is secure and quiet, yet very close to the city center (7 minute walk for us). There is a parking spot behind a secure gate and the townhouse is perfect for a family. The rooms and bathrooms were clean and neat. We could not be happier with our stay here. 5 stars all around.
