“Nick and Carol have been the best landlords I could have asked for! I have had no issues with them, felt well looked after in the property and they have set the bar very high for future landlords! Every guest we had round noted what a beautiful house it was and I will thoroughly miss living on Farndale Avenue. It has been a beyond perfect stay and I would recommend you to anyone seeking student housing in York.”
“Both the house and service were completely faultless. I don’t have a single bad thing to say.”
Thank you so much for having me to stay in your property, for being very prompt to fix any issues we had and for being so lovely and welcoming to us. And thank you for the rent reductions over lockdown. It was greatly appreciated and you really didn’t have to.”
