Perfect location near mass transit center for coming in and out of the city of York, not too close, but walkable for sure. Then getting into the city itself for sightseeing was also walkable, so convenience was a big plus. The complete breakfast was simple to order from a small menu of choices. The kitchen/ inn attendent was sure to meet our needs and answer questions. all with a caring smile. The bedroom was adequate and comfortable for two people. I'd choose this house again.
