Great location, very comfortable.

Beautiful Georgian town house, close to the city centre,

Nothing

Beautiful, comfortable, well stocked house in fantastic location. Host was exceptional.

Location is great and apartment is very nice and clean.

HIDDEN CHARGE & PARKING WARNING! I am writing this to expose a sneaky pricing scheme used to inflate the rental cost of this apartment. I originally booked a 3-bedroom apartment for 2 people, knowing a 3rd guest might join us last-minute. Before booking, I verified that the rate remained identical whether 2 or 3 guests stayed, and we only ever intended to use 2 of the 3 bedrooms. Just 2 hours before arrival, the host asked how many people were staying. I confirmed 3 guests (and reiterating we only needed 2 bedrooms). He claimed this was no issue, but insisted I update the guest count on the app before he would send the check-in code. No extra fees were mentioned. As soon as I updated the guest count, the platform automatically charged me an additional £140. When I questioned the host, he refused to help. After speaking with customer support, I uncovered the trick: room rates increase closer to the stay date. When you modify a booking on the day of arrival, the system retroactively recalculates your entire stay at the higher last-minute rate—without warning. Because the guest manually triggers the update, support and the host offload all responsibility onto you. By the time I discovered this, I was already checked in, cancellation meant a 100% penalty, and I was too busy working in York to contest it further on the spot. I am convinced the host exploited this loophole deliberately. Parking Issue: The gated courtyard parking is extremely tight and unsuitable for larger vehicles. The entrance is exceptionally narrow and low. My short-wheelbase VW Caravelle (with no roof rack) could not fit, forcing me to pay £60 for street parking over 3 nights. Total hidden costs: £200 on top of the original booking. Exercise extreme caution when staying here!
