Great central location and very welcoming!

1. The location of this apartment is quite good. All the attractions are within walking distance. York isn’t a big city. There’s a supermarket about a five-minute walk away, and Chinese restaurants and Chinese supermarkets within seven to eight minutes' distance, so it’s very convenient for shopping. 2. The host Katy told us to call her after we arrived at York Train Station, and she waited for us on the street outside the apartment building. That was really helpful. Without her guiding, the apartment would have been quite hard to find. We needed to swipe a card to enter a residential gate, walk through a car park, go into a building entrance, and take the elevator up to the second floor. 3. It’s a two-bedroom apartment with one-living-room. Overall it’s clean, but the decoration and furniture make it look a bit old. The lighting in the rooms isn’t very bright either, so we felt a bit disappointed when we arrived in the evening. 4. The kitchen is connected to the living room. The living room TV supports screen mirroring, and the kids cast the Spring Festival Gala from their iPad onto the TV. The kitchen is well-equipped, so we could cook meals. 5. There is a washing machine with a drying function, but the scent of the laundry detergent pods was really strange and not very pleasant.

During our stay, the bathroom and the corridor walls outside the apartment were leaking water, and there was a strong smell of mildew. The host Katy put a dehumidifier in the corridor, which was quite noisy. However, the noise was quieter with the door closed. If we had known about the heavy musty smell in advance, we would not have booked this place.
