York town house
The property was lovely especially the living area downstairs and an excellent location for the city centre. The only major downfall was the bathroom with the only functioning toilet was downstairs beyond the kitchen. The toilet on the first floor could not be used. This made it very difficult with five people and lots of stairs!

Cosy
Perfect locationa stone's throw from the centre of town. Beautifully decorated and very clean. It would be useful in the description to point out that you cannot use the upstairs toilet for a bowel movement. We had a ln elderly person with us and it was difficult to have to go downstairs each time.It also states ensuite but its not off the bedroom its actually on the landing.

Good location
Living room/ dining area and kitchen met needs as apart from breakfast we ate out. Bedrooms on 'middle' floor rather cramped with limited hanging space. Shower room/ toilet also limited space and due to faulty macerator toilet water came shooting out of small wash basin sink when flushed. Plumber was coming to repair after we left.

City break
Great location, perfect for exploring the city. The house is pretty tired and needs a bit of tlc, which would take no time or huge effort
Very poor that no recycling facility is available. Dishwasher doesn't work/clean items properly. Only left 1 rubbish bag so couldn't empty bin or dispose of excess bottles, boxes etc

Cosy home from home, although a bit of a squeeze!
Lovely little house which was warm and inviting, although smaller than we'd imagined. Beds were lovely & comfy. Toilet was always freezing, even with the heating up full!
We only stayed for a long weekend and to be honest, I think the house would be claustrophobic for 6 adults for any longer.
As it was a 6 sleeper, it would have been good to have 6 dinner plates, 6 wine glasses & space for 6 people to sit in the living room without having to use a not very comfortable dining chair.
Make sure your car permit is fully on display - we managed to get 2 tickets even though the permit was on the dashboard - as the windscreen had iced over, the warden was unable to see it. We did get the ticket revoked though by call York Council.
Would we go back ?? Probably because the location was amazing.........BUT we would only do it as a couple, not a group of 6.
Parking was a pain due to only 1 permit, which meant the other 2 couples had to pay to park at the long-stay at the train station.
