General overview
Situated just ten mins from the historic city centre of York, my home is a modern semi- detached with lovely gardens on three sides. It is filled with light and decorated in white and light colours. I have a passion for photography and you'll find some of my artwork hanging on the walls. There's a brand new modern and well equipped kitchen, cosy living room and dining room which overlooks the garden, where you can sit out in the summer months. The location is in a very quiet residential street and yet it's only a 10 minute bus or car journey into the vibrant city centre. This offers the perfect mix of a quiet location and ease of access to the city.

We had a wonderful time at Kay’s place in York, UK. The house is cozy and has everything you could need. The neighbourhood is lovely and quiet, yet very close to the city centre. We took the park and ride bus into York. Would definitely come back on a return trip to York! -
Kay's home was great, I slept very well. It is very close to the racecourse just outside of York. It's a 10 minute walk to the buses that go into town. Ubers are plentiful and affordable in the area. Kay was wonderful at making sure I was looked after and very thoughtful. I had a great long weekend exploring the area. -
It was an absolute delight to stay at Kay's wonderful home in York. Light filled and contemporary - we felt 'at home' as soon as we arrived. Kay's house is just down the road from York racecourse - a great place to take a morning run (as long as the races aren't on) - and home of the local Park Run on a Sunday morning! The situation of the house was perfect, easy to get out of York to explore the wonderful surrounding countryside, but also easy to get into the city -with busses straight into the centre just a five minute walk away. Kay was easy to communicate with ahead of the swap, provided lots of great tips and information on local 'things to do' and was very thoughtful in making the swap a relaxing and enjoyable experience.
