• Sian (10/5): -
• helen (8/5): Very nice apartment - Steep flight of stairs into the property
• David (9/5): Modern apartment near York centre. - Good location, about 15 minute walk into the centre of York. Clean and tidy, with everything you would expect. Good communication from our host Ewelina. There isn't much that we didn't like. The sofa in the lounge wasn't the most comfortable I've sat on.
• Louise (10/5): We enjoyed our stay at the Penthouse. The properly was spotlessly clean, beds were comfy and the property was done to a - Property was spotlessly clean and close to the centre, parking was easy and the spot was clearly signposted. Nothing
• Sally Ann (10/5): -
• sarah (8/5): Good for a few firend - The location was great, had everything we needed, a light airy place and cute balcony to have our morning coffee. The only negatives I have were that the beds were really soft so not comfortable to sleep in, mattresses could do with changing. Some spillage stains on the carpets but that didn't ruin our stay.
• Chris (9/5): Good location , nice property. Will return - Location . Everything we needed for our stay within the property Nothing
• Susie (7/5): - The location was great for town. Clean, modern and tidy apartment with free parking. It was very noisy due to the traffic and a pub garden behind (was mostly an issue because it was very hot and we had to have the windows open). The apartment needed some maintenance. There were several blinds that were broken, the bed legs were wobbly and the freezer was mostly frozen up. There was a lack of crockery and cooking equipment so eating in would have been a struggle. The patio door needs a curtain or blind as the afternoon sun streamed in and made the apartment far too hot!
• Brown (10/5): Amazing property. Beautifully done out. I can’t praise it highly enough. Happily stay here again! - Immaculate! Such a lovely place to stay and relax. Beautifully kitted out. Beds were extremely comfy. Lovely sitting area to relax in.
• Liam (9/5): Perfect stay at a lovely place and will be returning again to the same place without a doubt ! thank you for a lovely st - What a little gem of a place perfect for sight seeing the city beautiful place with better than most facilities Not anything I can say I didn’t like tbh
• Joanne (8/5): Clean, comfortable & convenient for our requirements (son’s research placement at York University) -
• Peta (10/5): Perfect location for our visit - Perfect location for our visit, with its own parking space. Easy arrival instructions Property was spacious and spotless. The kitchen was well equipped. Very comfortable lounge area. The balcony was a lovely bonus with a view of the Minster’s towers. Bedrooms had plenty of storage. The bathroom had a great shower. A very minor point - It was tricky cutting a loaf without a serrated bread knife
• Darren (8/5): Lovely apartment, good location and well stocked. Close pub can be irritating a tad. - Very clean, nicely decorated, well stocked kitchen, easy to use smart TV, and good strong Wifi. Private parking space is good. Lots of close restaurants, shops and pubs. The pub next door car be noisy in the morning with bins collections and staff emptying glass bins. Evening not too bad, but you do look over a beer garden, so the smell of smoke can waft in if the doors are open on the balcony.
• Lynda (9/5): Overall we enjoyed of stay and close enough to walk into York town centre - A bit different to the norm being an upside down apartment but worked well so you didn’t have to carry luggage up to another level Great shower bedroom comfortable Some of the mugs and glasses were dirty I suggest there should be a mat when getting out of the shower a bit slippery
• Julia (9/5): Superb -
• Manuela (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jonathon (10/5): Exceptional -
• Julie (9/5): Very convenient for walking into York to meet friends.. Clean and had everything needed. -
• Judy (10/5): Great stay a few minutes walk from the centre of York - The apartment was modern, clean and well equipped. Perfect for two friends spending a few days in York.
• Buchan (8/5): Leisure trip - Nice and modern apartment with all amenities included. Lovely balcony area also. Clean apartment very fresh. Free on site parking which was a great bonus. 10-15 minute walk into town. Apartment very hot but windows and balcony open helped this. Only issue we had was no curtains on sliding doors so it was very sunny in the living area but wasn't a major issue as place still lovely.
• Lee (10/5): Fabulous luxury stay in a perfect location - Excellent location. A luxury stay. Host was informative and excellent I can’t say there was anything I didn’t like

• Guernseytraveller (9/5): Superb -
• Macdonald (10/5): great property value for money - comfy bed and sofa good shower sttairs up to first floor a bit narrow but can't be helped
• Nicola (8/5): If you’re looking for a property within walking distance in to the city, this is the ideal location - Perfect location, with the added bonus of a safe parking space Ideal for a couple of nights to visit York The accommodation was well maintained, clean and practical for what we needed The only downside was the pub garden noise, but that’s only because we were in bed early,, it was very quiet after 11pm!
• Fletcher (10/5): High standard accommodation, warm and comfortable. - Recently renovated property to a high standard, also the furnishings. Warm and comfortable. In each double room, only one person had access to a bedside light or room light switch; that was rather dangerous if the 2 nd person had to get up in the night!
• Ian (9/5): Superb -
• Martyn (8/5): Very good -
• William (8/5): It was very tastefully furnished and clean - The shower cubicle needs a non-slip mat sits like an ic ring when wet
• Wayne (10/5): Exceptional - Exactly what the images were on the website..very clean and tidy with all what you would require for a few nights stay. Great location with parking and would definitely recommend and would definitely return.
• Mark (9/5): Superb -
• Jane (10/5): Exceptional - Apartment was spotless and very modern excellent location to walk 10 minutes into into the bars and York town There was nothing i didn't like appart from we couldn't stay longer
• Michelle (10/5): Beautiful, comfy and close to town centre - Beautiful property, well looked after n/a
• Kevin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Dani (7/5): Location! - Location was awesome No basic amenities such as shampoo/conditioner/bodywash in the shower would have been appreciated. Also if there is a washing machine, there should be powder to use in it, same as dishwasher and tablets.
• Darren (10/5): Exceptional -
• Victoria (9/5): Perfect location for a short break. - Clean, neat, tidy, warm - every thing you might want for a short break.. Watch out for the steep narrow stairs
• Joanne (10/5): Will definitely stay again! - Really lovely interior and comfortable beds.
• Megan (10/5): Lovely, comfy top floor apartment with fantastic location! - The property was In a brilliant location to get about in York. Walking distance to shops and restaurants, even all the attractions York has to offer. The apartment was warm and clean, with comfy beds and a lovely shower. The hob was a little fiddly to understand but once worked out we were cooking and there were no bbc channels on the tv but was nice to use Netflix and prime instead.
• Emma (10/5): Exceptional - The location was only a 10 minute walk into York city . A pub right on the door step (Rose and crown) the food was 10/10 . The Pent House was very clean , property was done to a high standard , the Host was very helpful with all questions on arrival . We had a lovely stay would definitely recommend . We will be returning .
• Tanya (10/5): Lovely apartment in a great location would highly recommend - The location and cleanliness of the property On site parking Nothing
• Agata (10/5): Perfect for comfortable stay when you visiting York - Very stylish but warm and cozy, ideal location to get everywhere you need in York! If I had to be very picky I would say a little bin in bathroom would be useful 😉
• Sharon (9/5): A Superb comfortable apartment close to city centre - This was in a perfect location just outside the city, 5-10 min walk to the centre. We loved how comfortable the accommodation was. Some previous reviews had said that the beds were uncomfortable but they have added toppers to the mattresses and we found them so comfy. It was also lovely and warm (we stayed in December)and it really was like home from home. Lovely decor felt very stylish but cosy. The apartment has everything you could need, huge shower, tv in each room and well equipped kitchen. Ewelina the host was super helpful and always replied if I had a question. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again if in york! Only down side would be that the windows didn’t keep out the noise of the road/ pub like you would expect. But that didn’t stop us enjoying our experience at all.
• Denise (10/5): Exceptional - Clean and all fittings were lovely
• Jane (9/5): Superb - Good facilities and location Bins downstairs
• Jd (9/5): Perfect York City getaway - Impressively pristine clean, attractive and welcoming. Loved sitting on the balcony in the morning with the cool air, autumnal colours, a warm brew and the blanket. Being able to self-cater breakfast was brilliant for us. Pristine bathroom and excellent shower. Location was also perfect for us and key that the property came with parking. Checking in and out was butter-smooth. Communication with hosts was also spot on. The beds would benefit from a mattress topper each as there's slim-to-no padding over the mattress springs. I think this somewhat affected quality of sleep and just appears as a dip in standard and detail compared to the rest of the apartment. A bin in the bathroom would be good for make-up wipes, etc. A bread knife in the kitchen would be handy. Although, fortunately, it appears you can slice sourdough with a chef's knife! 😄 And ensuring a kitchen towel is left out as it seemed initially that that wasnt one but then we found one in the utility area. So, probably just an easy over-sight. A second blanket in the living room would be nice. But these are all details to a high standard property that I would def book again.
• Mcnicoll (10/5): Would definitely recommend. Beautiful accommodation. - Location was excellent. The apartment was immaculate and very comfortable.
• John (10/5): Fantastic apartment with everything you could ever need. - Both the flat and the host are fantastic! Ewelina was always super responsive and very friendly. The flat itself is very nice, quiet and great heating! Not a problem for me but there are a lot of steps up into the flat if you have reduced mobility.
• Trina (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful accommodation and well thought out
• James (10/5): Would recommend. - amazing space, location and helpful host.
• Mark (8/5): On balance a positive experience and would certainly consider for future visits. - Modern and very well presented apartment. Nice welcome guide for the apartment. Good location for central York and local facilities. Quick response by hosts when contacted. A parking space is allocated to the apartment but it was taken when we arrived and not clearly identified until you read the welcome guide. Noise from the adjacent pub, although it did not go on until the early hours. No coffee left as offered in the introduction.
• Lesley (10/5): Amazing - Lovely beautiful and clean, everything was just what we needed. Location was great. Used the hop on and off bus just around the corner brilliant Nothing we did not love.
• Steven (9/5): Superb - Was very nice and comfortable with pretty good location Stairs were a little small, TV in bedroom position wasn't ideal
• Hugh (10/5): Would book again when we come back to York - The property looks great in the pictures, but even better when you arrive. Everything was perfect and the hosts were fantastic! Everything
• Helen (10/5): Wonderful trip to York, beautiful apartment. - Beautiful place to stay with the added benefit of free parking. Really close to city centre within walkable distance to lots of attractions. Balcony is a lovely space to chill outside. Host was really lovely and great communication. Lots of information in the booklet left in the apartment. We will definitely be returning and stay on in the penthouse again. Nothing
• Julian (9/5): Superb - Good location, near food. Owner prepped a house manual with was a nice touch. It had all the mods and cons you would expect. Freshly renovated. Recommended
• Rebecca (10/5): Excellent accommodation- everything was brand new, clean and well set out . - Excellent accommodation - everything was brand new , clean and well set out. The balcony is lovely and can also be used if the weather isn’t that great as it is covered with gorgeous views over the city. Nothing
• Stephen (1/5): A COMPLETE RIP OFF WITH OWNER KEEPING MONEY AND NOT SUPPLYING WHAT THEY ADVERTISED!! - Nothing. THIS BOOKING WAS A COMPLETE RIPOFF! I HAD TO GIVE THE WORST RATINGS ALTHOUGH THE ACCOMMODATION WAS NOT AVAILABLE! ON ARRIVAL THERE WAS NO PARKING ALTHOUGH ADVERTISED AS HAVING IT AND THIS IS WHY THE OWNER DID NOT SEND PARKING DETAILS ALTHOUGH THEY SAID THEY WOULD! THE KEY BOX DID NOT WORK! THE OWNER DID NOT ANSWER THE PHONE SO WE HAD TO PAY FOR ALTHERNATIVE ACCOMMODATION ELSEWHERE. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE THEY LIED ABOUT GIVING US A REFUND ALTHOUGH KEPT SAYING THEY WOULD AND ARE PRESUMBLY ARE HAPPY TO HAVE KEPT OUR MONEY WITHOUT SUPPLYING THE ADVERTISED ACCOMMODATION! STAY CLEAR OF THIS ONE AS IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU!!
• Vicky (9/5): Superb -
• Emily (9/5): Superb - The location of this property was fantastic! Only a 5-minute walk to the grocery store and 20 minutes to the train station. Most of the fun things to do in York are also a stone's throw away. The hosts were very quick with responses and it was easy to find the apartment, as well as check in and out. It was very clean. The WIFI was fast and there were 3 TVs which made it easy to relax on our own. There were many things missing, but I think it's a newer listing so maybe the host can add them in. Namely - a hair dryer - trash cans! There wasn't one anywhere in the house, not in the bathroom, nor kitchen, nor closets, etc ( we checked everywhere, under the sink ,etc) - shampoo and conditioner, it was nice to have the body wash in the shower, but for this price point other amenities needed to be there, too - the pillows were nice and fluffy, but the mattresses were awful. You could run your hand over the top of them with no pressure and feel the springs. They need to be replaced, or have a pad put on top - a welcome pamphlet (most rentals I have used have a little piece of paper on the kitchen table when you arrive with emergency numbers, wifi password, etc) Overall these are small things, but make a stay so much nicer!
