I had a lovely time at Katrina’s place. She was very welcoming and my stay in her home was great. Katrina was also kind enough to pick me up in her car and drop me off at the beginning / end of my stay which was very helpful.
Thank you for everything.

Had a nice and easy stay here for a couple of nights with my partner. We were able to check in while she and her lodger were out. The room and bathroom had everything we needed and she even left out several breads and jams for us to use for breakfast.

Katrina is nice and welcoming.
But the bed was full of Cat hair and rest of the house in general.
I spent most of the week out. York was very expensive and hard to find cheaper digs, but I'd say it's worth paying a little more if you want to be in them often

Nice stay with lovely host. No lock on bathroom door and lots of cat hair on my bed on arrival, but it was a very nice house in a great location.
