I was visiting York University for 3 weeks and wanted a cheap room close to campus. This room fitted my requirements perfectly.

When I arrived, I was a little surprised at how many other guests there were, and, given past experiences of house-sharing, I was a bit worried that this might cause some difficulties.

But my worries were completely unfounded! I shared a bathroom with just one other guest (and so never had any trouble getting out in time in the morning), and the kitchen was always clean and never ran out of crockery or cutlery. The guests themselves were lovely - a diverse mix of characters, from all over the world, which meant that there was always some interesting conversation over dinner!
