York City Homestays

Real homestay in a suburban house in a quiet residential road, ran by a lovely helpful lady, together with her young son and little dog. Room is on top (2nd) floor, and is sparkling clean, fresh and comfortable. Excellent shower, WiFi, and multi channel television. Bathroom is shared with only one other room.. Coffee and tea provided. Bus service 5 to City Centre some 4km (2.5 miles) distant is only a two minute walk away, and a Co-op shop a minute further. Green Tree pub with Sky Sports 5 minutes away. Easy car parking outside the property.

Not a criticism of the property, but on my 2 day stay and 2 return journeys to centre, bus 5 failed to turn up on two out of four occasions, leaving a long wait on the half hour service (service run by First Group so no surprise)

Becky is a lovely woman who makes every effort to accommodate all your needs. For example, she waited 30 minutes in for me to arrive so she could show me round and give me a key. Similarly, she left the hall light on for my return.

I have a fractured spine which Becky did not know about. I need hard mattresses which, while the mattress was, it was not hard enough for me. I am sure if I had discussed it with her, she would have fixed it. She is that sort of woman.

Felt like being at home very friendly and welcoming

Walking distance if desired, bus stop to city centre extremely close

It was an affordable stay at a very friendly hostess. Everything was arranged as agreed and as expected. Bed was comfortable. The room is great for shorter stays.

The location is on the outskirts of York, but York is not too big.

Come and go as you please , quiet , clean , a fridge to keep drinks cool in hot weather

The location was ideal and the host was lovely. I had everything I needed for my stay.

The mattress could have been more comfortable, but for the price paid, it was good enough :)
