The apartment is secure and well-presented and is ideally placed for all the central York entertainment and attractions. Overall, the room is clean and the fittings are well maintained with the odd loose fitting in the bathroom. However, both the lower and upper bed sheets were stained and presumably not clean which is a big red flag.
Kitchen area is compact and fine for a couple of nights stay, although probably unnecessary. That space could be put to much better use for storage. Clearly the owners have made the most of the space they have, however the room and bathroom are extremely cramped. Accommodating three would be extremely uncomfortable.
Surface space is non-existent. Two tiny bed-side shelves and a small circular console table. Leaving your luggage and other items on the floor around the foot of the bed is the only option. A small dressing table under the TV would be preferable and lose the sofa bed to create more usable space. No aerial and over-the-air TV channels means reliance on streaming. Wifi is very poor on the TV and any connected devices connect so expect constant freezing and dropouts.
The window sound-proofing and keeps most of the noise out when closed. Unfortunately though, in the heat, both need to be open. The noisy, poorly placed wall fan is completely ineffective at circulating any air in the room. Having to leave the window open meant the noise was horrendous with the nightlife still going on way into 2/3am; not much sleep was had.
