Fine
Lounge & Kitchen were nice. Bedrooms fine with good storage and our mattress was comfy.
The stairs up from the front door v steep. I think a warning to visitors would be a good idea. An international traveller with a large suitcase would struggle. The pillows were too hard and thick, and I thought the bedlinen a bit tired. Floor 1 shower bathroom poor and cramped.

:) a happy family who had a great break
The beds are so comfortable it was unreal! I felt the topper, and I loved it. In my opinion you can never have everything. If you want to be close to city, you will always get noise. None the less, I had a very comfortable stay.
The noise of party goers is unavoidable when you want to be central, this is no mark on this house, but the noise from the nightlife was a bit on the high side.. but I still give this place 10 of 10 for everything

Perfect..
This is in a perfect location.. everything literally on your doorstep.. if you struggle with stairs, I wouldn't recommend it as there are 3 floors.. it's facing macdonalds and can get quite noisy at night, but the double glazing is excellent quality.. we were a group of over 60s friends and we didn't want to come home.. highly recommend..
The stairs..

Overall, it is a great place to stay!
Everything is superb, and accomodating experience
Just the window curtains, but it doesn't much of a worry

Not a good experience and would not back again
The house is old with not enough facilities. For eg, no shampoo, bath liquid or even a piece of cleansing soap. Only one roll of toilet tissue in the toilet for 3 days for 3 people. The washing basic in the toilet on the first floor is very tiny. If you brush your teeth, you will make the floor wet.
The furniture is old and not clean. There is some smell inside the house. The bed is too soft and not even.

Disappointed and let down by misleading online pictures
Not applicable
Where shall I start! Don’t be fooled by the pictures online which show a light, airy, modern town house. It is drab, dull, smelly, tired, grubby and generally broken in a few places. Noise levels! Don’t stay here if you want a good nights sleep. Windows don’t close properly and location being right opposite a 24/7 McDonald’s is not ideal. Continual rowdiness and the odd fight thrown in for good measure until at least 5.30 in the morning - every morning. You might get half an hour’s sleep before the refuse lorries arrive at 6am. The 9.2 booking.com certificate of excellence displayed inside is dated 2014 therefore somewhat out of date. We tried to find somewhere else to stay but unfortunately were unable to. Contacted the letting company and expected more than a standard apology. Gutted is an understatement- lesson learned.

Good for group stay in York
Perfect, central location and not too far from the YRK train station (walkable). The house was clean with clear instruction provided by the host. The kitchen had good amenities and functional washer/dryer on the top floor. There were enough hot water for our group of 7 during showers.
The bigger room on the ground floor could get a bit cold since we were there during winter. The heater probably couldn’t generate enough heat since it was a bug room but the host had provided a portable heater for additional warmth.
3.0 / 10.0
Good location, but excessive noise and a horrible smell inside the property.
Great size for 2 families, shame about the smell and the noise!
The property had a very musty smell as soon as you walked in. The entire first floor had the same smell. It needs a good clean of the carpets (if not a full carpet change, according to Zoopla they’ve been there a very long time!!!). Would be better to have the wooden flooring throughout the property where there is heavy foot fall rather than carpet!!
The beds are rock hard, we could feel every single spring in the bottom bunk bed.
There should be some warning on the description that the property is located opposite a 24hr McDonalds, and although noise is expected with it being such a central location, there should be a better warning to say the noise is excessively loud!!!
The welcome pack advises to park in a car park which is quite expensive when staying for more than 1 night, there is free parking on the side streets just an extra 5minute walk from Marygate car park!
There are no sharp kitchen knives in the kitchen, if you are planning on cooking meals, bring your own knives or don’t bother!!
First floor shower room is small. The sink is too small for its use, and no light in the shower. Had to leave shower curtain open causing the floor to become wet when in use.

Good
It is very near to the Betty’s tea house and the cathedral.
The wifi is affected by the internet outage.
Somewhere like in the closet or windowsill can see and touch the dust.
The shower at the top floor has beautiful view, but after shower, the water will cause the flood in the bathroom. You’ll have to clean up on your own, since there is no room service during the stay.

Great location to explore the city but very noisy at night.
The property was centrally located and had enough rooms and space for our family stay.
The property is on a pedestrian street. We knew there was no parking, but on arrival we couldn’t even stop outside the property to unload the car. We had a 10 minute walk with our suitcases. The property is directly opposite McDonalds, which is open 24 hours. At pub closing time we were woken by the noise of the after-club crowd getting McDonalds and shouting to one another. At around 4am we were then woken again by the bin lorries. We also were kept awake by a group of seagulls that I think were nesting on the roof!

Good location, though loud.
Clean and comfortable and convenient location, very nice décor with more than adequate facilities.
This property, though a good location in the city, is directly opposite a 24 hour McDonald's so it's very loud in the evening up until 1-2 in the morning.

Lovely apartment but very noisy at night
The apartment is lovely and the location is wonderful. The bathroom on the top floor is really nice and has a tub with a view of the Minster.
No shampoo or soap in the shower. There is a McDonalds across the street that is open 24 hours a day. People are hanging out there all night long and so it is quite loud. Even with the windows shut and earplugs in, I still had a hard time sleeping. You have to take the trash out yourself in the morning before you leave.

Modern, well maintained, clean, good location for going out.
The noise from the street below, Macdonalds at pub kicking out time is so bad, they have to have a security guard, fights breaking out and police, both nights. Then at 6am its street sweepers, bin men and HGV doing deliveries. ALL bang outside our windows. Take earplugs if you plan on getting ANY sleep!

very uncomfortable, not suitable for long stay if you wish to relax and have a nights sleep. ok if you wish to party lat
size of property
layout fantastic for two families
location. noise from midnight to dawn. drunks yelling and fighting. McDonald’s opened 24/7. property not suitable for long stay if you want a rest and sleep during night. ideal if you wish to party all night and sleep during day. property no blackout curtains in one main room. city lights and noise impossible to sleep.
probably very basic kitchen and “tired”. shower tap that falls off in your hand. very poor lighting in steep staircases. some not working.
bedding Sooners not covered! health issue.
we arrived at 5pm temperature-5 and property not heated. heating not working (froze first night).
obviously property not checked before our arrival. POOR

Comfortable house in a great location
Lovely spacious and elegant house which couldn't be better located for exploring York. You step out of the door and right in the hustle and bustle of the city and close to everything. Lovely bathroom om the top floor with roll top bath with Minister views
Washbasin in the first floor bathroom is extremely small. There is noise at night, which might be a problem for light sleepers. There are many stairs, which could be a problem for some people, although we saw it as good exercise!

Lovely property shame about the noise from the mcdonalds!
The accommodation was lovely and spacious with plenty appliances for a family. Great position for all local attractions and shops. The hamper was full of quality products and a nice surprise. Plenty towels for everyone. Clean throughout.
Living room furniture wasn't comfy and there wasn't enough for a family of 6 even though there is plenty of room for more. Could do with air con or at least some fans as street is too noisey at night to have windows open! The front door could do with a clean it doesn't make a good first impression.

Perfect location beautiful apartment. Would stay again
Location is the best ever we've had in York
Perfect for us but just a couple of issues like broken kitchen chairs hidden in the back of the pile and a bathroom sink that was blocked.
Clean and tidy. Great location. Would definitely use again

Great location for Christmas. Good space and good facilities.
Loved hearing the York Minster bells.
Don’t take too much luggage as you cannot park nearby. Worth it for the location though.

A great place to stay!
Property is in the centre of York. Very spacious apartment over 3 floors. Nice little touch with a coffee/tea hamper on arrival. Very clean. New carpet throughout. Plenty of utensils. Heating worked well and in the cold we were quite cosy despite how large the apartment was. Well equipped kitchen. Good wifi. TV had iplayer etc. Good communication leading up to our stay.
Front door felt a little insecure - could do with some stronger locks. Temperature of both showers was unstable and fluctuated from cold to scalding. This was quite dangerous, especially for children. When we first used the toilets and showers there was a horrible smell (like cabbage) on the first floor. This disappeared throughout the day. The sofa was leather and very deep without any cushions, would be much more comfortable with fixed cushions.

Beautiful House, Right In The Action
The location was central, which was lovely. The house had a great sized living area with comfy seating and a well functioning kitchen. The highlight was the bath facing the minster on the top floor, just stunning!
The only thing that wasn't perfect was the Friday and Saturday night noise from outside.
During the week it could get bad for short periods but was tolerable, but at the weekend (and on the run-up to Christmas) it was like the end of the world.
There's a McDonalds literally opposite that's open 24/7 unfortunately, so the first-floor front-facing bedroom feels like you're actually IN the student party.
The top bedroom is ok, but I had to sleep with ear-plugs in. No noise from the back bedrooms.
Honestly, I had to include this about the noise, but everything else was so perfect, it wouldn't stop me from booking this house again.
