Superb location, apartment had great views and was finished to a high standard. Very quiet, and would highly recommend this apartment. Our only criticism was having a shower in the bath was very slippery and could do with shower mat. Stay York were very good and helpful

An amazing view from a stylish apartment
Spent a long weekend in York, for a family occasion. We wanted the accommodation to be part of the experience, and this didn’t disappoint.
Spacious rooms, clean modern kitchen, stylish furniture and decor, all with floor to ceiling city views on three sides.
An easy walk into the centre. There are pubs, M&S and the walls within easy reach.
The lobby and lifts are clean and comfortable.
Welcome/comfort items are a bit sparse so get your own milk and bathroom items but otherwise superb.

Festive Christmas Stay
The apartment was excellent, and we would be happy to stay there again. It was clean, comfortable, well equipped, and in a good location for access to the city centre.
We stayed over Christmas, and the festive decorations provided were much appreciated.
The inclusion of a car park space was another welcome inclusion.

Great Stay
We had a wonderful time in York. The apartment is in a brilliant location, and the view is wonderful. The apartment is in need of some TLC - there are some cracks and poor paintwork, and the mattress in the main bedroom is very hard, but we were still comfortable. Some sort of window covering would be good at the windows in the living/kitchen area especially with the building works going on across the road - zero privacy. A welcome pack would have been nice too, some coffee, tea and milk. However, all in all, we would book the same apartment again.

Beautiful apartment in a great location
This apartment is lovely, , spacious, great views and in a great location. I would definitely return and recommend to others. Just a shame that there were a couple of small things that have been overlooked ie chipped crockery , stains on bedroom carpet and bath sealant needed replacing that stopped it getting 5*

What a fab place to stay
This is a beautiful apartment with an imposing entrance foyer, very helpful concierge.
The apartment had everything you need, extremely clean, well laid out and the views are simply amazing with really large windows giving a full view of the Minster. It is a very short walk to the city centre, less than 5 minutes.
Beautiful apartment, beautiful city and when we return, we would book this again.
There is a building site opposite the side but this did NOT detract from the very enjoyable stay.
In the center of everything! Outstanding property and excellent communication with management.

Central Location
Comfortable apartment on 6th floor.
Quiet building. Unfortunately only one lift working during our stay.
Plenty of restaurants to choose from. More cooking utensils would be oreferable if self -catering.

Pre- Christmas break
Cityscape apartment was very comfortable, clean and tastefully decorated, we even had Christmas Dec's!
We had a few minor hiccups eg. Chipped crockery which Stays York is dealing with for the next guests and only the standard welcome pack ( we've stayed at other Stays York apartments which the owners provided the upgraded one).
We have left behind some jackets which Stays York are organising the return for a small fee. The staff are amazing. What a service !
Cityscape is ideally situated for everything in the City, with the added bonus of private parking.
All-in-all we had a lovely week and would highly recommend Cityscape and Stays York.

Not cheap but no disappointment at all.
We stayed for almost 20 days in a 2 bedroom apartment with a very nice view. We were just 5 minutes walk from city centre. All apartment very well fitted and spacious. It's not cheap comparing to other options but I think It's good value for money.

Review
Excellent location and spacious apartment. Would definitely recommend. Only minor points to add - few things missing - soap only in one bathroom, no oven gloves, no surface cleaner, would have been nice to have toiletries given the price paid (relative to other properties we have stayed in). Could do with a clean under furniture.

Fabulous Apartment
Our party of four senior ladies enjoyed Cityscape apartment for its location, convenience and fantastic views across the city of York. The apartment was extremely clean, spacious, with very comfortable beds and equipped with everything you would need and want for a holiday let. The check-in and check-out process was straight forward.
The only problem we had was with the shower in the en-suite. The temperature was difficult to control as it would suddenly become very hot. I point this out as I feel this should be checked to avoid any unfortunate accident. Please note no other water was being used at the time to cause a temperature change.

Impressive, Comfortable and Convenient
This is a superbly comfortable apartment, perfectly placed for all York's many attractions with the bonus (for those who prefer self-catering to hotels) of having two convenience stores close to hand, on the same street, and York's main shopping areas within a five minute walk.
Guaranteed, free and easily accessible on-site parking is another huge plus point, as parking in the city centre, much of which is pedestrianised, is in short supply and expensive.
The apartment has all the facilities one might need, exceptionally comfortable beds and glorious views over the city centre at night. Entry on arrival is by key code provided by Stays York and, thereafter, by keys and car park key fob obtained from a locker area on the ground floor. Booking and backup by Stays York is - as I have always found - excellent. Cleanliness throughout the building is immaculate.
I shall certainly be staying here again on one of my many visits to York.

Ladies City Break
A lovely modern flat a 25/30 minute walk from the railway station and an easy 15/20 into the city centre. Well furnished, well equipped and with, rarely found in rentals, comfortable beds with quality linens.
A surprising downside was the heat in the flat. With no curtains in the living/kitchen area the flat was stifling hot, 27 degrees, when we arrived and we had a terrible sleep the first night. We learned to open all the windows to cool the flat before bed but by 5am it was very warm again. Not a problem I expected in York in late May! It really needs voile type curtains in the living area to afford some privacy when lights are on in the evening and to take the edge of the sun.
Some short simple operating instructions would be great as the technology in the flat did confound us a little - the tv, the dishwasher, even the lighting at first and we couldn't get the Sonos speaker to pair to any of our, all different, phones.
We had a great stay and would happily return and recommend.

Cityscape@Ryedale weekend
We stayed at the Cityscape apartment in the gorgeous Ryedale building over a weekend in February. The apartment certainly had the ‘wow factor’ and we instantly all fell in love with the views. The apartment itself was extremely clean, full of light, had a great atmosphere and felt spacious - even for a couple with 2 kids and an infant. Everything felt like luxury and we all agreed we would definitely want to stay at the apartment again when we next visit York. The fact it includes a parking space, right in the city, was the cherry on the cake. Stays York were great and clear with all instructions and directions and there was a lovely welcome pack on our arrival. We would definitely recommend to anyone who fancies a luxury stay in a wonderful city!

Excellent stay in York, with everything in easy walking distance.
The service provided by Stays York was first class throughout, only blip was no parking permit in the keysafe on arrival. I provided my vehicle registration details to Stays York and they quickly sorted the problem. Molly was particularly helpful during the booking process.
The building was very impressive with lovely reception area and a very pleasant and helpful concierge available during the day.
All public areas are spotless including the two lifts. The carpark is secure with a number of spaces under cover.
The apartment has a high build specification but the bathrooms have no storage surfaces which is a little inconvenient and who would fit a mirror over the toilet and not the washbasin?
The furnishings and ambience let the apartment down, has obviously been done at the minimum expense with mainly secondhand furniture. We would certainly stay at this excellent location again but choose an apartment with a few more "home comforts".
We had a lovely stay at this luxury apartment with beautiful views of York. The apartment was really well appointed. There were just a couple of minor niggles which let it down . They were minor but did detract from the general luxury of the apartment. The bath towels were not very big and not high quality. There is no mirror above the sink in the ensuite or one for my partner to do her make up in the main bedroom. The feature chair in the lounge by the windows isn't very comfortable. Overall though the place is stunning and we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it. We'll worth the money.

Lovely apartment, great location, a few suggestions to make the stay more comfortable
We stayed for one week in early August. We arrived at 4pm (keys are collected and returned via a key safe near the entrance lobby) but unfortunately the apartment had not yet been cleaned or beds changed, it was also very hot and stuffy, so we opened the windows and the cleaners arrived a few minutes later, were apologetic and asked us to vacate until at least 5pm.
When we returned the apartment was clean, it feels new, modern and tastefully appointed with artwork on the walls. The master bedroom with en-suite is the room which converts to twin beds so our two teenage sons took that room, whilst my husband and I took the second smaller bedroom with the double bed. This room is furnished to a minimal standard. Apart from the bed, there was a hanging rail, a set of narrow shelves and mirror. There are no bedside tables or lamps, meaning that spectacles, reading book, morning cup of tea etc. had to be put on the floor.
The bathrooms are lovely, clean, great showers and plenty of hot water however the extractor fans did not come on and we would also suggest a bin and hooks to hang towels or other items on in each of the bathrooms. There is a utility room which we used to hang the towels to dry after use.
The kitchen is very nice, well equipped, we did 'cook at home' on one occasion. Also we ate breakfast at the apartment and so would suggest cereal bowls. We didn't use the dishwasher and so a dish drainer would have been useful.
As a previous reviewer said there is a very large TV with access to Netflix, however no Freeview TV so no digital channels. The main living space has floor to ceiling windows which give impressive views towards the Minster, however we found the room to be uncomfortably warm on occasions when the sun was shining as there are no window dressings in the living area (the bedrooms have black out curtains). The windows can be opened for ventiltion, but being in the city there is a lot of traffic noise. We did speak to York Stays about providing fans but they did not respond to our request.
The apartment is really convenient for getting around York on foot, we loved walking around the city walls, and we also visited Fountains Abbey, Harrogate, Pickering and Dalby Forest, all of which were great.
In summary the apartment is very nice and contempory, however a few finishing additions would help to make the stay a little more comfortable.
Lovely clean, spacious and well located apartment which was great for a full-on touristy visit to York for a week. It does need air conditioning though as it got very hot during our time there in July. Although there are no allocated parking spaces it’s probably better to park under the covered part so as not to clash with skip deliveries and building works (which do not affect residents). It’s also a good idea to check with the office about key collection or handover on arrival.
