Could have been a little tidier.

good location for the city with excellent parking. Beautiful building. Great size TV, sofas comfy and kitchen well equipped. Good internet connection.

poor quality furniture and mattress, no door on ensuite which could easily be remedied with a curtain as felt a bit too open.

This property is a bit of a hidden gem! Set behind private gates, it oozes peace and is very cozy. I loved it! It is near a variety of shops, bars, street cafes, and restaurants in Headingley and West Park.

Nothing.

Communication prior to my stay was excellent - in fact there was duplication of messages. Instructions were seemingly straightforward. Some issues raised upon arrival were dealt with promptly, resulting in the doorstep delivery of missing essentials (toilet roll, etc). There was afire extinguisher and sparse first aid kit in cupboards under the sink - but no signage on the doors to tell you they were there. There was a hairdryer, iron & board.

The property was difficult to find - down a lane with limited lighting, through a set of gates (with no signage) and down a driveway, so is not easily identified from the roadway. Upon arrival the code for the gate didn't seem to work - the instructions didn't tell you to press the arrow button after entering the code! I carried out an 'inspection' (as I always do) and reported to the hosts that there were a few maintenance issues (which they said they knew about); the external lighting above the door was ineffective to operate the code for the key box in the dark; the door lock was difficult to operate from inside - the key needed 'jiggling' to turn the lock; there was only 1 roll of toilet paper; there was no coffee (either instant or pods for the machine); the handle cover on the bedroom door was loose & nearly fell off when I opened it; the plinth under the oven (held on by velcro strips) fell off when I opened it and the door covering the fridge was loose and coming away when you opened it. The fridge was dirty around the seal with a collection of ice/water under the salad box. When leaving the property, either on foot or in a vehicle, the gate is not sensor operated - meaning you have to stop, leaving room for the inward opening gates, go to the gate and operate the keypad on the other side, through the gate! This was not identified in the instructions either. Adjusting the timing/temperature of the heating proved a challenge and I had to google instructions as there were none available. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond my control, the stay was cut short and I left having stayed only 2 nights out of the booked 8. The response via WhatsApp advising I had checked out early and returned the keys to the box was responded to by a 'praying hands' emoji.
