    It could do with a bit of tlc, the bed was very creaky as were many of the floor boards

    It was convenient to walk into the city and had everything we needed.

    Very steep stairs and quite low shower head not perfect for tall people.

    Lovely place. Nice and clean little house. Perfect location not too far from a medieval town. Great place for a city break.

    Wouldn't say these were dislikes. However, will only mention for the purpose of potential improvement (these really are small, unimportant reflections). Access arrangements could perhaps be improved by providing details at least 24hrs ahead of arrival to allow guests to plan ahead. Some internal doors felt rather flimsy and rubbed across the floor and did not close fully which didn't provide the best first impression. House accommodates approx. 4 people but there seemed to be excess mugs, glasses etc which restricts storage space for food supplies / groceries. The latter can of course be worked around with a small amount of repositioning.

    Location was excellent for the purpose of our visit. House was warm and comfortable during cold spell of weather. Smart TV allowed access to guest's own private Netflix account etc. Good kitchen and dining facilities. Host was also very helpful when we required some assistance. Lounge is smaller than the photograph implies, however is very cosy for 3 to 4 people.

    Struggling to find anything. There was an alarming wobble on the kitchen floor in one place No problem once you got used to it! Steep stairs could be problematic for less mobile folk.

    It was perfect. Clean, comfortable and very well equipped with everything we needed. Lovely little courtyard garden. We are fussy shower users and can report that the shower is excellent!

    Lovely little house in a great location, just a short walk into York centre and city walls. Also very pleased I read the folder to find out we were only 5min walk from a nature reserve which made for a lovely walk in the evenings. House is only small but has everything needed.

    No negatives…just such a shame we only booked for 1 night - would have loved to stay longer! Will def revisit when in York next time!

    Beautiful property - so clean and the bed extremely comfortable! Great location and on street parking easily available outside the front door. Super communication from owner and an early check in time given which was a lovely bonus!

    There were little things ie I trod on a lump on the lounge mat to discover an old sock and then see rubbish under sofa. Some areas in need of painting

    The property was just the size and location we needed for our overnight stay it was brilliant we could get in early drop our things and head out.

    The steepness of the stairs was impossible, we were unable to get out luggage up the stairs and had to take what we needed to in bits. Nothing in the listing mentioned how steep they were. The kitchen light and top of stair light did not work. There were lots of cobwebs and spiders in almost every room. The smaller bedroom has nowhere to place any belongings, so everything needed to be on the floor.

    The location is really good. The parking was very convenient. Nice kitchen and living area. The water pressure for the shower was great.
