I have been living in Foss studios for more than three years. All staff members here are very welcoming and kind. And I love my comfortable and spacious room. Repairs are done very fast.

Percy’s Place is great! It is right by the city center so tons of night life and fun things to do. It is fairly close to the Uni of York and walking distance to York Saint John’s! Very happy to live here.

I moved into Samuel Tuke for my final year at uni and it has been the best experience. I live in a premier loft studio which is hugely spacious and luxurious. The facilities in my room are excellent. The facilities in the property are great, with a gym and cinema.
