About this property

York's Independent Quarter

Hello from the twinkling Heart of Fossgate - York's independent street full of love, life and music. You are so welcome here!

Our apartment is a clean comfortable space with a large fully equipped kitchen and living room designed for comfort and relaxing after a great day exploring York or a lazy morning to plan your day. We are right next door to our very own cafe bar - The Fossgate Social and welcome you in with a really good coffee, food and alcoholic refreshments. Your apartment has a large rooftop patio where you can relax with a glass of your favorite tipple and some yummy local street food from any number of the independent shops, delis, restaurants or cafes in the street. There are regular street festivals throughout the Summer and Autumn - Just step out of your front door and you are in the heart of it all!

Your apartment is situated at the back of the building, and does not overlook the street and the bedroom peeps down to the garden of our cafe bar, so on a busy evening you may experience the chatter from below. The cafe serves until 12.30. Whilst Fossgate is a very central lively hub, it has an alternative feel and doesn't get rowdy or too loud for city centre - if you like the gentle hum of music and life in the background, and being able to step outside and be immersed in York life - we think you will love this place!

We love to boast that Fossgate is the best street in York (it really is!) We are in the Center of the City so everything York has to offer is really close - a few minutes walk from all of the museums, shops, parks, The Minster and at the top of the street are the Medieval Shambles.

Fossgate York
Fabulous location! New bath and kitchen. Only suggestion to hosts is to have more detailed instructions on how to work the stove, heating units, and especially the TV for us dumb (and older) Americans.

A Gem in a Fabulous City
This property offers a nearly perfect location to visit the city. So many nearby things to do, to see and to enjoy. The property has everything you’ll need, and is very comfortable. The only minor drawback, as mentioned in other reviews, is the potential for late night revelry from the patio area of the Fossgate Social. Of the 3 nights, my wife was unaffected, and she is typically a light sleeper, while the noise of one night, which ended just after midnight, was more than I could overcome. So I read a little later than usual, not a big deal. The hosts, Mike and Maria are wonderfully responsive. We highly recommend this property.

Amazing!
I come from the US to visit my boyfriend who is in University and Maria and Mike were absolutely wonderful, they gave me 2 sets of keys, one for me and one for my boyfriend which is so helpful in case I’m out and about and he gets out of University unexpectedly early! Upon my arrival, Mike gave me a tour of the flat, answered all my questions, and offered to take out all my rubbish whenever I needed!! He also checked up on me a few times during my stay to make sure everything was well and that I was taken care of! Dishwasher detergent, washing detergent and some other light cleaning items were provided, which is so nice because I cannot stand crumbs on the counters! The location of the flat is perfect, right next to shambles, city center and grocery stores so everything is always accessible. I already have my next trip booked for May and can not wait to return to the unforgettable Fossgate flat❤️

About the host

Hosted by Maria & Mike

Host profile image
Hi we are Mike & Maria - we have been good friends for longer than we care to remember and laugh a lot (at each other usually)! I am a support worker for folk who find themselves homeless and I'm passionate about social justice. I look after the admin and bookings for this apartment. Mike owns 2 family run vibrant cafe bars in York with his sister and nephews - one of which is right next door to this apartment so come in - it's open late! He's passionate about good coffee, ale and travel. He also operates a micro-brewery so try some of his craft beers! I'll be messaging you with booking details, and Mike will be around to welcome you to the apartment.

It's fully self-contained, so you will not be disturbed, but if you do have any requests, you can pop next door where there are a team of friendly staff in the bar ready to help.

Why they chose this property

The closest carparks are Piccadilli Yard (4 min walk - see website) or Castle Car Park (you can book with Ring Go by getting the app or calling them - it covers all york council carparks and you can extend your time online).
