Perfect house to explore York from!! There were 7 of us and more than enough space. We sid need to use the local ER which would have been easier if the house had a land line phone. Overall I loved it and would definitely recommend it -make sure you have good knees 53 stairs from the front soor to the top floor!

Great location
The Tv speakers were awful and muffled plus a plug in bath broken, went to tell them and they immediately replaced the tv, and mended plug. The tv was not tuned in but did not effect our stay. Lots of noise between 5.00 am and morning but we accept that is city centre living.Bed very soft rolled into centre and marks on sheets. But generally very nice

Wonderful!
Such an amazing property in the very heart of York and its beautiful cobbled streets and old buildings. I would say the lovely pictures don't even do this stunning house justice. Communication was fantastic and costumer service second to none. Prosecco had been left for us in the kitchen which was such a lovely gesture and much appreciated. The house was tastefully decorated for the festive period. Couldnt have asked for more. Highly recommended.

In the Heart of York!
This property was Amazing! Definitely a surprise with the amount of steps, but should have expected that in a multi level home! It was is a great location and regardless of "being lost", using the Minster as the Lighthouse always got us home. We have all agreed we would 100% Book this VRBO Again! Very Pleased!!!

Great Accommodations
We all loved this rental. Perfect location right in the middle of everything. We would definitely stay again.
Just a couple of things:
May not be suitable for some due to the # of levels and narrow staircases.
Had some water damage on the walls in some rooms.
Shower steam set off the fire alarm. We had local police show up.
