About this property
York city centre apartment, North Yorkshire, England
A modern, home from home apartment, situated within York’s city walls. The apartment is on the first floor of a three-storey block of six flats in total, sharing a secure car park. A coded gateway, located under the archway entrance, ensures security for the small complex. Set within a small, neatly maintained and peaceful, communal garden, the apartment comprises an entrance hall, sitting room, breakfast kitchen, twin bedroom, master bedroom and bathroom. In the sitting room are two large leather sofas, one of which converts into a comfortable double bed, a flat widescreen television with digital channels and access to Netflix, and a Blu-Ray DVD player. A selection of DVDs, games and many books about York - its history and attractions - are all provided, as is broadband internet access. Wifi is available throughout. The fully-fitted kitchen contains everything you need to feel at home including a dishwasher, fridge freezer, washwe/dryer, microwave, cafetiere and toaster. There are electric heaters in each room and an electric immersion tank for hot water. All York’s museums (Railway, Castle, Yorkshire and Chocolate - York’s Sweet History) are a short stroll away, as are two cinemas, both theatres and the Barbican concert venue. York Racecourse is also within walking distance. For motorists, Queens Court provides a secure, allocated parking space. It is equally convenient for the railway station and Park & Ride bus stops.
*Since Covid, a hand sanitiser unit has been installed inside the front door of the building in which our apartment is located. It makes sense to use this each time you enter, regardless of any current virus warnings.

This flat was PERFECT for two couples on holiday. It was within the city walls but on a quiet street. We were able to walk to EVERYTHING we needed even though we had a car. The flat itself was clean, comfortable and well provisioned.
Perfect location for our week in York, everything within walking distance. Lovely apartment equipped with everything we needed, clean & tidy, comfortable beds. Location very quiet & peaceful. Debbie gave precise instructions on accessing the apartment, how to use storage heaters etc. We planned each day in advance booking places to visit. We had a fantastic break & were so lucky with weather.
Safe gated, clean, tidy, well equipped first floor flat, has everything and more than you need, incuding a parking bay.Excellent location, to all amenities.Host immediately responded when we had a small issue with the lock, had it sorted in less than 30 minutes. Would definately recommend for up to four to comfortably stay. Plenty of room, comfy beds and settees, bathroom hadvthe luxery of a bath as well as a good shower. Area was quiet.Will definitely be back for our annual Christmas shopping jaunt next year.
My sister and I loved staying at this perfectly located apartment inside the city walls of York. The apartment is clean, warm and welcoming with comfortable beds and really nice kitchen and living room. It's super quiet and yet minutes away from great restaurants, grocers and lots of things to do. Good shopping too! Our wonderful host Debbie was quick to respond to questions. If we ever find ourselves in York again I hope this apartment is available.
Perfect place to stay with the family for a city break in York. Was great being so close to everything, and the flat was well appointed and had everything we needed.

Thank you for taking the time to review our apartment.
when we first bought the flat, we stayed there often with our two children and equipped it accordingly so hopefully, families who visit find things to suit them!
The property is well located for all of the attractions and places of interest in York city, and all within walking distance.There is a Sainsbury's and a 24 hour Londis just a few minutes walk from the apartment.Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.Thank you Debbie.

Hi Anne
Thank you for your review. We have tried to really make it 'home from home' by living in it ourselves at least twice a year so that we can go out and buy any items are not in the apartment that we find we either need or would like to have. Hopefully that benefits our guests too!
This property was an excellent place to stay if you are visiting York. It was easy to get around with most places to visit within
walking distance. The property was also very clean & tidy.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review.
They say Location, Location, Location! And I do think this is absolutely the case for our apartment. Close to everything you need and wish to visit but tucked away in a quiet corner.
This apartment is in a very good location, close to all amenities and attractions. Hosts are very helpful and the apartment is clean and has everything you need. This was our 2nd year in this apartment and wouldn't hesitate to book again
Second time for us,and we’d definitely come again.
Cracking location,great communication with the owner,excellent apartment.

It's so lovely when guests return - it means that we are definitely doing something right and is the best compliment we can get.

Thank you so much for your great review. We bought the property on the premise that location is key and our guests over the years certainly seem to have appreciated that.
I shall pass on your kind comments to our cleaners too. It's lovely that their efforts are recognised.
Lovely flat in a quiet road but so close to the centre of York and within short walking distances of all the attractions. It also has the added bonus of free secure parking.
The flat was very clean and had everything you could need for a weekend away (an
Great location. Easy walking to shops, sites, etc. Apartment was clean, roomy and as advertised. Neighborhood was quiet.
A great place to stay while in York.

Thanks Michael. We love the fact that the flat is so close to the city centre and yet, turn the corner, and you are immediately away from the noise and hub-bub!
The property was just what we both needed. Definitely book again.

Excellent stay in York.
The flat was in a great location and was very clean and modern. The security for parking and accessing the flat was an added bonus. Would definitely rent again if returning to York.

Thank you for your review. Secure parking, proximity to the city centre and a peaceful location (the three 'p's!) were the key reasons for us buying this apartment and they certainly seem to be the most appreciated aspects by our guests too.
We are delighted to be receiving many repeat bookings too which re-enforces this!
