48 Fairfax Street - sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms

Designed with families in mind, the house is also great for small groups. Many guest considerations have been taken into account when setting up this property - comfy beds, beautiful bed linen, essentials (shampoo, shower gel, tea, coffee), fast WiFi, and large TV with Netflix.

The property has been renovated and furnished to a very high standard by the owners, providing a superb holiday home comprising the following: Open plan Lounge, Dining and Kitchen, small utility room on the ground floor, three bedrooms (an en-suite) and a bathroom on the upper floors.

The cosy lounge has a large leather 3 seat sofa and two arm chairs around an electric feature wood burning stove. A large TV is positioned above the stove on the chimney breast which is connected to an Apple TV box that has a Netflix account, for those that wish to chill out in an evening.

The dining area has a large table and six chairs and plenty of room. The fully equipped luxury kitchen with marble worktops includes an Aga electric oven/grill and gas hob. An American style large fridge freezer with filtered water and ice, micro-wave, toaster and dishwasher.

Off the kitchen there is a small utility room that has a washer dryer, utility sink and a useful downstairs toilet. Parking is on street at the front of the property with a permit.

The rear yard is a beautiful place to sit on a warm evening. A perfect spot for a morning coffee alfresco or an evening glass of wine.

The main bedroom has a king size iron bed, with plenty of wardrobes and an en-suite shower room with basin and wc. The rear bedroom has a comfy double bed, single wardrobe and a chest of drawers. Loft / third bedroom has two single beds, (please note that upon request these can be made up to form a king size bed - although guests should be aware that this room does have head height restrictions being within the roof space. There is a travel cot available for use.

The main bathroom consists of a large bath with overhead shower, wc, bidet and basin.

Great location nice place
We met the grandparents here. They drove but we did it by train. You could easily do York without a car if you stayed here. We walked everywhere including from the train station. I liked how close it was to the wall but it was a quiet location.

A fabulous spot!
I can't imaging a better spot to be in York. A short walk to everything while in a very quiet neighbourhood on a cute little street. The flat was modern and had excellent features and a lovely kitchen. Six of us were comfortable. Having 3 bathrooms was great. The third floor bedroom had very creaky floors over the main bedroom. I would definitely rent this flat again. We all loved it!

Great Property, Great Host, Great Location
The property was perfect for all our needs, kitchen was lovely and beds and baths all spacious, modern and clean. The host helped us out right after we arrived as we were inept with Skeleton keys :-). The location was fantastic, with access to the city wall at the end of the street as well as access to the old city, museums, galleries and shops a short walk over the bridge. We absolutely recommend this property and our thanks to the host for their lovely home and and lots of great information. Joanne

Fabulous introduction to York
This pristine property was perfectly located in York, just a short walk away from so many destinations and attractions, including the wall. My 3 sisters and I, all 45+ years old, found the home welcoming and comfortable during our stay. When we return to York, we would definitely stay here again. Just a gem!!!

Modern, Clean and in the Centre of York
Had a wonderful stay at fairfax street and could not recommend this property enough. It was clean, modern and only a 10 minute walk into the centre so extremely convenient. All of the simple things had been thought of like plenty of plates/cutlery, condiments, extension leads, plugs in the right place. To top it off coffee/tea, biscuits and wine provided! It was really helpful to have on street parking. Plenty of spaces however heads up that it is a bit more of a tight squeeze getting out of spaces so choose your space wisely! The only extra touches that would be nice would be a dressing table in the master beadroom and extra bedside table in the attic room. That would just be being very picky though. Thankyou so much for a lovely stay. Also thanks for cleaning so quickly meaning we could check in early. It really meant we could make more of our first day. I would also highly recommend the tomahawk restaurant for anyone that likes steak!

Family Stay in York
Could not have asked for more from this property. Perfect for a family of 6 (4 adults + 2 kids). We did not have a car and groceries, sights, train station all very close by. Information on site was extremely helpful. It was a pleasure to return home each day to this cozy house. Would definitely book the same place when returning to York.

A Hidden Treasure in York
This house is superb! From the start, it was clean, spacious and the hosts had provided the essentials to start us off such as bread, milk and a bottle of Pinot Grigio! The location was perfect, less than a 10 minute walk into the heart of York and it was a privilege to stay in their gorgeous house! We will definitely think about staying again next year!

Lovely position
Lovely position, close to station but also only a short walk to most of main attractions so ideal if you don't have a car. Having said that you can park right outside on the road and parking permits were provided. The city wall is only a one minute walk at the end of the road and a great view whilst walking. Inside the home is clean and very comfortable. We were very unlucky with the unusually cold and wet June weather so the electric stove in the living area was most welcome. Another plus was having a downstairs loo in addition to the ensuite and family bathroom. Everything worked efficiently. Would definitely recommend and would love to stay here again and discover more of York. Oh, and finally, would add how peaceful the neighbourhood is.

Excellent place for our party of six adults. Lovely quiet neighbourhood that was within easy walking distance of the sites and eateries. Grocery store was about a 5 min. walk. The unit was very clean and roomy and the kitchen was well equipped. Access to the wall was within a couple of minutes walk. Very happy with our choice.

Lovely break good location nice and quiet
Stayed 5 nights Thankfully the weather was kind as although property is close to City Centre it would have been a trek in wet weather approx 15 mins walk. Owners where very obliging and assisted when needed. Some very nice little touches around the house to make you feel welcome on arrival a nice homely place to stay. However York City Centre was very dirty lots of litter and bin bags bottles glasses everyday not moved - It was busy but expected it to be as clean as last New Year two years ago. Get a grip York Council 5 of us commented it was grubby if you have no money get the Pubs and shops to tidy outside of their premises ( So many Foreign Tourist ) you are letting England down.
