Ellen Boyd Green 23/12/2024The house was clean, and comfortable and everything was easy. But a few things didn't work - light in the main bedroom and a few other small things. The main problem was that both the bins and the recycling were already full when we arrived so we didn't have anywhere to put our rubbish. Having said that I'm sure we'll stay again next time we're in York. ... Read full reviewClose

Debbie Bell 31/07/2024Superb location. Location was excellent. Only 10 minutes walk into the city centre. York was beautiful , so much to see and do. We was there for 3 nights 4 days and loved every minute! Would definitely go back to York and would be happy to stay in exact location again, but wouldn't stay in this house again , but only because of the damp/ mould/musty smell. Personally, I think the upstairs of the house could do with abit of a refurb as the downstairs is quite new and modern. The bed was lovely and comfortable tho.. The upstairs of the house was quite mouldy and smelt abit musty in the bedroom. Walls were paper thin so you could hear the neighbours at times. The description stated 2 bathrooms and a private bathroom which implied there were 3 bathrooms in total , but this wasn't the case. There was 1 ensuite and 1 shower room downstairs. ...

Camilla Zamparini 02/05/2024Comfortable well located apartment, but absurd deposit request for possible damages. The property itself was perfect, we only had an issue the last night because the heatings downstairs stopped working. But the beds were comfortable and it had everything we needed.. The property is managed by a third party agency that kept relentlessly sending me emails and messages to confirm my identity etc… and they made me pay another non-refundable 47€ for possible damages after I already paid off the apartment booking. They offered the option to either take 500£ deposit from your card on the event of damages that they would supposedly refund, PLUS a completely unjustified fee of non refundable 12€, or you can pay the 47€ to pay off possible damages. this arrangement as it sounds a lot like scam. This was the only issue I had with this booking. ... Read full reviewClose
