Good location if you want to be close to the city. Loads of parking in the area too, which was what we were looking for mostly. The townhouse is beautifully designed and decorated, made it feel very home for the two nights we spent there. Since we were there close to Christmas, they put up a Xmas tree which was really nice and cosy. TV could be connected to YouTube casting. Just be careful with the stairs if you have balance or mobility issues. They are very steep, can feel a bit unsafe if going up and down fast. Also the front door does allow people outside to see in if they wanted to. Although it is quiet residential area and something unlikely to happen - this is something to be aware of in case you are concerned about your privacy or safety. Main issue we had was standard of cleaning. There was dust in radiators and ceiling. During our stay there was dirt coming out of shower drain. Hoping this is an issue resolved by the time anyone else stays.

We had a lovely stay! The property was spotless and exactly as pictured. The bed was very comfortable, and we slept well. The walk into the city centre took around 25 minutes and was beautiful along the River Ouse — we were lucky with the weather, which stayed dry and mild throughout our stay. A couple of small points to note: our car’s satnav struggled to find the property due to some local road closures, but the link the host sent us worked perfectly. The Wi-Fi connection was a little intermittent, and the heating was quite noisy when it came on early in the morning. The shower didn’t get very hot, but we enjoyed relaxing baths instead. Overall, we really enjoyed our visit and would happily stay again.
