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.

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.

The property was clean and comfortable and within walking distance of both the city centre and the racecourse. It had everything we needed for our stay. The host was contactable and responded swiftly to any questions. We would definitely look at rebooking if we visit York again in the future. Parking on site was definitely a bonus.

Superb

We feel truly lucky to have stayed in such a wonderful place. It was just perfect for the two of us. The welcome package was perfect with tea, coffee, sugar, washing up soap, tea towels. The kettle and toaster worked well and we found everything we needed in the kitchen. The location was amazing—such a quick walk to downtown and close to everything that we wanted to do during our stay.

Great York Apartment Location

Great location. Quiet. Close to everything. For your information, if you are stair-challenged, there are 3 stairs up from kitchen to living room and another 14 up to 2 bedrooms and 1 toilet upstairs. There is a separate shower with very hot water and plenty of pressure. Beds are 1 double and 2 twins. Very cozy and comfortable and would stay here again. We stayed a week in York. lots to see with day trips. So many pubs and restaurants!

Great stay in York

The apartment was within the city walls but away from the busy streets so nice quite nights/mornings. The beds were very comfortable. Everything we needed to make breakfast each morning And the house was clean but more attention could be paid to the carpeting, my husband had a used contact stuck to his foot at one point and we are not contact lens wearers

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.
