Location was ideal
Lack of blinds at windows, Lack of carpeting and warmth, very unwelcoming and bare, not enough seating in lounge, very damp smell in the air and stained pillow cases.

The property is beautiful. Very tastefully decorated and cosy. The location is fantastic! Around a mile to York Minster and all there is to see and do in York. Plenty of on street parking and a peaceful part of town. The hosts were lovely - very responsive and forthcoming with the information we needed. Highly recommend.
The only downside to the property is that is a little difficult to accommodate more than three people comfortably in the living room. That said, with so much exploring to do, time spent indoors is limited. And a few glasses would be welcome! Minor issues with a lovely house.

Great location, right by the train station.
Good sized rooms which were all comfortable enough.
Could do with a rug or two as the floor was quite cold.

Not a lot,
The kitchen is not prepared for an apartment as it states on your website. The kitchen had no microwave which is a necessity when you plan to eat meals at home, no baking trays for the oven a all the plates and cutlery was not clean , you should see the frying pan I refused to use.

Plenty of room to accommodate for the 4 people in our group. Main bedroom large and comfy. Kitchen everything you need for our stay.
The living room furniture wasn’t very comfy and it was very low and there was only enough for 3 people to sit down. It is a shame to say something negative about the bath as it is beautiful but our group is starting to get old and we found it a bit hard to get in and out of it.

Clean and well located. Lots of clean bed linen and towels.
Key lock box was a little fiddly and no bread knife. Very small points as overall we were very satisfied.

The property is close walk to the train station and the old town
Large bed had a divot in the middle making it uncomfortable, the two single beds were ridiculously squeaky every movement made lots of noises

The house was so close to the centre and it was a nice walk. Very clean and everything you needed for a lovely stay.
The single beds are not very comfortable.
More information about parking outside the house, as we received a parking ticket in the morning.

The house has character and is close to the train station and bus stop (you do have to cross a bridge with steep stairs, though). The neighborhood is nice. The TV has Netflix.
The beds were just really uncomfortable. As I have read in the previous reviews of the last year or so, they have been uncomfortable for a while and the owner hasn't changed it. The double bed has a dent in the middle, the two single beds are incredibly squeaky, and the pull out is just hard and uncomfortable.
The floor in the dining room has a carpet which is just dirty. Also, the chairs aren't really comfy.
What was annoying is that the kitchen was not well outfitted at all. There are not enough plates, glasses, etc for everyone (only one wine glass, two water glasses, etc). There are no oven plates. The pan handles are loose. There's no scissors.
The most negative point of this apartment is the cleanliness of the kitchen: the kitchen cabinets were dirty on the inside and the handles were sticky, not to mention the cooker hood.

My experience was not good at all.
I'll reserve the right to experience it, but if you want to go and see for yourself that the facilities aren't what they seem, that's your choice.

Great location, rooms were big enough, comfortable beds, very clean, enclosed back yard. Ideal for city and racecourse.
Not sure oven worked properly as pizzas took ages to cook. Bistro set/table and chairs in the back yard would have been handy when sitting outside.

Great location just outside the city, great shower. Communication with owner fantastic. Main bedroom was beautiful, there was everything you need in the house
sofa bed very uncomfortable and like other reviewers have said a comfy sofa to sit on would make it perfect but we would definitely stay there again.

House was lovely with the bonus of tea and coffee but some problems
Location was great with parking outside
Bath lovely
Owner communicated well and helpful
Beds.....on all reviews saying the same so really should sort them out
The double bed had a huge dip
The single beds were so noisy and on the floor
Futon so uncomfortable and useless as a sofa with only seating for 3 in the room so not easy to socialise
Bathroom needs attention under the boiler
Such a shame these easily fixed things let it down
8.0 / 10.0
It was clean, equipped with everything we needed, and the shower was nice.
The double bed has a huge dip in the middle, which is not a problem if there’s just one in the bed, but would be uncomfortable with 2. The single beds are futons on the floorboards and are very creaky whenever you move

The property was within a 20 minute walk from the city centre. The bathroom was very well fitted out with a lovely shower over the bath. The property is in a quiet location. The owner communicated very well with us prior to arrival and the wifi connection was a saving grace with two teenage children.
Some areas were now appearing to be worn i.e. under the boiler in the bathroom there is damp and the pipework is not boxed in. The children's room could do with proper beds which do not creak all night every time you turn/move. The outside area could be weeded and an outside table and chairs would be a good idea.
But otherwise all was fine and we thank the owner for their hospitality.

Charming older property which has been nicely renovated, in a quiet area very close to the train station and easily walkable. A lovely bathroom with claw foot slipper bath and some other antique furniture such as an old settle which were utterly delightful. Easily accommodated our family of 5 for two nights and price was very reasonable.
Fitout is a bit minimalistic, the property could really do with a few throw blankets and cushions to make it feel more homey. Foldout bed in the lounge is a bit hard to handle and once it is set up, it's hard to put back together so we just left it out the entire time, which meant there was no real lounge room to use for the family to gather in. In any case the room had one armchair and the two seater sofa bed and no coffee table so it would not have accommodated us all anyway. Very steep stairs which might not suit everyone but perfectly understandable considering the age of the home. Two very low beds in the second bedroom which are comfortable enough for a night or two but quite hard and creaky so not really suited to a long stay. The kitchen was reasonably well appointed but there were some metal filings floating about in the cordless kettle so we could not use that at all, which was disappointing. If you do walk to the property, be prepared for a steep flight or two of stairs as you have to cross the railway lines via an overpass, so not ideal if you have heavy suitcases or mobility issues.

From the beginning I can say that the host was very kind, he collaborated with us and provided us with details about the house. When we arrived at the location, we were really surprised by everything in this house: cleanliness, comfort, everything absolutely impeccable.❤️We recommend this accommodation to everyone with all confidence. You will have a dream stay.

The host Cornelia is excellent. The property is light and airy. Well located. The kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms were clean.
The floors had not been well vacuumed. The single beds were very noisy and not comfortable. We felt the kitchen was not well equipped with the basics which we find in other similar places. For example no oven tray to warm things up in the oven.

Convenient to city centre and on a quiet street.
Use of the whole house which is great when travelling with kids.
Clean and tidy.
Had an issue with hot water and this was resolved promptly so thank you.
Mattress in main bedroom has an indentation in the middle so you roll into each other.
Living room is not comfortable to sit and watch tv together.
No oven trays at all so nothing to put food on to cook.
Only one wine glass!! Random
House is too sparse and with no carpets or much furniture it echos badly

Great location and host was both very accommodating and responsive. Would definitely visit again.
Nothing. Was a very enjoyable stay
5.0 / 10.0
Location convenient for the railway station, and a shortish walk from the city.
The furnishings are bare and spartan. The central heating was not working when I arrived, though in fairness someone came to fix it soon after. The kitchen is poorly equipped, so self catering is problematic. The seating in the lounge is uncomfortable.

location was great
communication with owner was fantastic
everything you need was there
lovely roll top bath
as previous reviews state single beds creak when you turn and too low ok for children I guess while mattresses are comfy the beds themselves are too low
There's no where to sit comfortably to watch tv as 4 adults the only place we could sit and chat was at dining room table
very minimal in every room which works but missing a few homely touches in my opinion
shower curtain also needs replacing
no blinds in bathroom so while in shower if you open window neighbours opposite can see straight in

Location was near the train station, parking outside the house. Lovely bathroom and kitchen.
Very basic, only a two seater pull out bed in sitting room not comfortable and no where for more than two people, had to sit in kitchen at all times. Single beds creaked all night and so near the floor.
