Meet Kate
Cultured, Conscientious, Friendly
I take interest in my guests and am happy to sit and chat over a coffee or if they prefer to keep themselves to themselves, that's fine too.
On a typical day...
I’m mostly at home/work from home.
When I host guests...
I’m helpful and hands on. I can show them where to go and help them get there.

Our home is 1 mile away from central York and is in the Fulford area. Our interests range from television to science. We have 1 double bedroom available with Hair-dryer, Closet / Wardrobe, and Mirror.
I have a small and very friendly dog, he gets excited to see people when they arrive but once over the excitement he will leave you alone as he mostly likes to sleep and go for walks.

How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.
When do I pay?
Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) using a choice of payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal (not available in certain countries). You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.
When can I share my contact details?
Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
