Overall, we had an okay stay, but I feel the property was overpriced for what it offered.
The location was convenient, around a 30-minute walk or 25-minute bus journey into York city centre. Having on-site parking was a real bonus, as was the nearby supermarket. We also appreciated the baby gate on the stairs, and our children loved sleeping in the bunk beds.
However, there were several issues that affected our stay. The property is advertised as a two-bedroom apartment, but in reality it has one bedroom with the second bed located in the living room. This meant there was no comfortable living space to relax in. A sofa bed would be a much better solution. There was no lamp or night light and we could not locate the LED lamp that owners suggested when we contacted them.
The kitchen was very basically equipped. There was only one very large pot, making it difficult to prepare simple meals such as porridge for two children. A few smaller pots would make a big difference. The kettle was heavily scaled and wasn't working properly, and some of the spoons were rusty.
The towels appeared discoloured or bleached, which didn't give a great impression. The bathroom hand wash was empty on arrival, although we did find a replacement bottle under the kitchen sink. It wasn't a major issue, but it felt a little unprofessional.
With a few improvements to the maintenance, kitchen equipment and presentation, this could be a much better place to stay.
