Nice little place for a getaway in York, within walkin distance from city centre. Host was nice and responsive. The place has fairly basic amenities, but has everything you need for a weekend away. There's a tasimo with some pods provided, but if you're big coffee drinkers do make sure to bring your own French pres!
