Property is located in an excellent location for easy walking access into the city centre.
Property looked tired in areas and needed some maintenance e.g. paint peeling off ceilings etc. Main Bed needed replacing as didn't feel secure. Very shocked not to see mattress & pillow protectors being used.
Communication on Parking was confusing as some literature stated you needed a physical permit and some didn't

Excellent location, 10 minute walk to York city centre.
On street permit parking for one car.
The house is a good size but in need of a refurbishment.

St Olaves is a beautiful property,, with lovely victorian features,,,, the location is absolutely perfect at only 7 minutes walk to York walls and city,, and York Museum,, St Olaves church etc.
Our only concerns were, although the toilets were clean,,, the showers and shower heads were not acceptable,,,, completely limescaled up so had to clean before using. Athough lovely bathrooms,, the ceilings were flaking and had mould,,,, one of the lights wasn't working, so we felt like we couldn't feel comfortable!
I don't think the carpets, especially was not clean,,,,, specifically up the stairs,,,, so we had to keep our slippers on.
In the back bedroom is where the boiler is located,, this proved difficult to sleep to start with and wasn't mentioned.
There were also handprints (kids) on the bedroom walls and other areas of the house.
We also had to try and descale the kettle as this wasn't great and we also felt impulsed to buy some cutlery and plates, utensils etc, as the property's was not clean.
Overal it's a beautiful property,, perfect location and such a quiet road to stay, but we were let down with lack of a good house clean and so this let us down in how comfortable we all felt and relaxing, was to start quite difficult.
For the price of the property for 3nights we were expecting a lot more,and none of these issues ,,, so we're let down considerably.
If the property was upheld to good house keeping and good cleanliness (not just the toilets) with these issues then I don't think it would be rivaled.
Such a shame
So because of this I don't feel I would recommend to anyone.

The property is in a quiet street with parking for 1 car, free parking to be found at bottom of street, then turn left. Comfortable clean spacious property but some of the interior and furniture needs updating/replacing. Well equipped, beds comfy enough but single bed near falling apart and needs replacing. Shower curtain also needs replacing. No door on front bedroom, only an interior hall door, this could be a problem for groups? Heating did not work until the 2nd day, even following the simple instructions, had to report it but it was fixed by the afternoon of 2 d day and house lovely and warm after this. Some stains and wear and tear throughout the house. Good for families.

Expansive home away from home
This beautiful property is very expansive and has plenty of space for you to have some private space away from your traveling companions ;-) My son hung out in the front lounge, my husband set up his laptop in the second lounge/dining room to work, my daughter sat in the sunroom reading while I enjoy a g & t on his back patio. A short 8-10 minute walk to the city center offers everything you can need. Plenty of restaurants even closer than that. Hosts provided a lovely welcome hamper that was very much appreciated. Would definitely stay here again!

Good location but property needs upgrading
Good location, plenty of space inside, uncomfortable mattresses! Furniture could do with refreshing, dining room chairs are a bit odd, nice kitchen but two malfunctioning gas rings. Good to have 2 living rooms. No looks in loos and only one door key was a bit unhelpful. No loo roll holders or towel rails…

Tony from Essex
A lovely house, clean and welcoming and in a good location. Quiet street close to city centre with all that York has to offer.
Would happily book again in the future.

Great property in a great location
The house was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and spacious. The street is very quiet and ideally located for walking into the town.

Beautiful house, great location!
A beautiful house in a great location, only 10 minutes walk from the city centre. The house was on a quiet street with good parking. I would highly recommend this house for a stay in York.

Perfect location
St Olaves offers the perfection location for long and short stays in the stunning and vibrant City of York.
The house is spacious, beautifully decorated, and the beds are particularly comfortable. The pretty courtyard is private and the street is very quiet.

Perfect location.
St Olaves offers the perfect location from which to explore the delights of York city. Located in a very quiet road, the spacious property is well stocked with a pretty little sun filled courtyard. The beds are comfortable and the decor is beautifully presented. It feels like home.

34 St Olave's
The house is in a superb location, an easy walk to the Minster and the city centre. The road was quiet and there was permit parking outside.
The house is spacious and clean. We had booked for four adults, but because of Covid, only two of us could come, so we had more than enough room.
We found the kitchen well equipped enough for our needs. The heating was easy to use, but as the front room was harder to heat, we tended to use the back sitting room, which was cosier.
The only problem we had was with the shower - we couldn't get the water to flow at a constant temperature, and it fluctuated between too hot and too cold.

A lovely house close to the town centre
A great house and so close to the town centre. The house had a real homely feel, the 2 living rooms were great and the kitchen was well equipped. We even managed to cook a full Sunday roast!
The bedrooms were of a good size and the beds were comfy, if a little soft in the master bedroom. The bathrooms were great especially the slipper bath. Unfortunately we couldn't get the water hot enough to run a really warm bath, but the shower pressure was good.

An ideal location for visiting York
We spent 4 nights here and enjoyed our stay. It's a tastefully decorated house in a quiet neighbourhood, just a 10 minute walk to St.Peter's Gate. The key collection was easy and we had a parking permit and could park right outside the front door. The house is spacious, comfortable and well equipped. Some soap and shampoo would have been an added bonus!
Would highly recommend this property.

Ideal location for visiting York
A clean and spacious house in a peaceful neighbourhood of York, just a 10 minute walk from St. Peter's Gate. Tastefully decorated and clean. Only thing missing, soap,gel and shampoo!
But everything else thought of. Would recommend it highly.

Lovely Family Stay
My family and I had a fantastic stay at St Olaves at the end of June. The house is beautifully furnished and decorated throughout although showing some signs of age - saying that, this didn't detract from our stay at all, it was incredibly clean. The kitchen was well equipped and there were some lovely thoughts with tea/coffee bits and pieces available on our arrival. The use of the key safe meant that there were no problems getting in or out (or indeed the requirement for a single person being responsible for looking after them!).St Olaves was certainly a home away from home and would recommend it to anybody who wanted to explore the city by foot. My sister had brought her baby and found no issues getting about or storing the pushchair either which made things so easy! The street was quiet even given its location.
Only note is that there is a single car parking permit and given that we had three couples travelling from different parts of the country we had to organise our own separate parking for two cars, to be expected given the proximity to the city but good to know ahead of time!

Great place to stay in York!
We were a family group of 7 people ranging in age from 1 year to 82 years and we all had a super stay in St Olaves!
We had plenty of space with 2 living rooms and the bedrooms were comfortable. It was a short 10 minute walk into the centre of York and 15minutes to the station pushing a push chair and therefore ideally situated for our stay. Definitely recommended for anyone wanting to visit this beautiful historic city!

Great location
We were staying in York for a family wedding and there was a group of family members. We all enjoyed the house which is very comfortable and spacious, the 2 sitting rooms were a bonus so that the older members could have some space from the younger ones when needed! The short 10minute walk into the heart of York pushing a push chair is very easy and there is a Sainsbury supermarket just 5 minutes from the house. On the day we left we walked the 15 minute walk to the station from the house with no difficulty. Stays York were very helpful with requests for a cot and extra linen all of which was provided and helped to make us feel very welcome. I would certainly recommend the house to anybody wanting to stay near to the heart of York!

A fantastic property
We have stayed in various rental houses around this area and St Olaves was one of the best.
Very spacious with plenty of sofa space and everything that you would need provided. High quality fixtures and fittings throughout and even Virgin media on the Tv with BT sports and Netflixs.
Ideally located just a short walk from the city centre and riverside with a sainsburys local just around the corner.

Great location, showers need cleaning more thoroughly and water damage to lounge ceiling. Would recommend moving boiler as not very practical to have rightnnect to third bed (or make clear in advert). Thank you

Quick family break
The position is perfect for shopping. The road is quiet and smart. The property is perfect for six, we had five. The courtyard is pleasant, with just enough room for our three dogs, we brought two large dogs and one little one. We took the dogs to the racecourse to exercise them as the dales are about an hour away in the car. Would recommend this property for exploring York city.

wedding stay
Property was very good two points that let it down . The cleaners were still working in the property after 3 pm so we could not get in . The dustbin was overflowing with 3 black bin bags full of rubbish next to it. There was no recycling bins either .

Large, accommodating space with two sitting rooms and a large kitchen!
We enjoyed ourselves here. We are a traveling with our three kids this year and this place gave us plenty of space. We were also close enough to York to walk into the town center easily. We loved York and miss it already!

St Olaves
Beautifully presented, well equipped house. Had a very comfortable stay. Weather was excellent and the rear courtyard was just the place for a cool drink in the evening. Excellent accommodation and having two lounges was ideal . Plenty space for all the family. Only a ten minute walk to the city wall. Parking permit included on street at property, so never needed to move car. Highly recommended and would definitely stay again.

Last minute change
Unfortunately, on the day we were travelling to this property, received a phone call from the agents, York Stays, to say that we could not stay there as there were problems with the hot water, which could not be repaired for a few days.
Thankfully, the agents had another property at Mount Parade available, which was of similar standard and had sufficient beds and bathrooms for myself and my three sisters, so we had a very nice time. Sadly, we never got to see St Olaves.

Very tasteful and comfotable.
The propert was perfect for us to spend family time together and to walk and explore York. We enjoyed cooking together in the large kitchen and the living rooms were perfect for us to sit and chat. The victorian fireplaces added extra warmth in the evenings . Being gas there is no mess!
