We had a great weekend away in York and the apartment was perfectly situated. A modern, quirky, well equipped apartment and we really enjoyed our stay.

Fabulous, quiet and comfortable!

The property was in an excellent location just minutes walk from the Shambles. The property itself was clean, tidy and quiet. We were glad of the private garden area at the rear of the property as we could go out and get some air. The bed was amazing! It was so comfortable! We really liked the layout of the property, it was unique in its decor. The property was warm throughout our stay, we would highly recommend staying.
Can't think of one thing we didn't like...

The location of this was amazing, not far from anywhere, the property was so bright and gave us an insight of city life. It was perfect, we loved it! The free standing bath was a really nice touch and I loved how the bed overlooked the apartment. The welcome package we got was a nice touch. Would definitely stay again

The property was in an amazing location. It was very fitting of York, old building but beautifully preserved. The interior was stunning and the attention to detail not overlooked. My partner is an interior designer and she was blown away by this amazing place.

The location is perfect - very central yet really peaceful. It is a wonderful bolt hole at any time of the year and so cosy and comfortable to chill in Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

One of the best stays I’ve been to anywhere in the world. From the location, to ease of check-in, to the information booklet that really gives you everything you need. York is a beautiful city and and I will certainly be coming back to this stay! I wish I was there longer.

Enjoyed the space and the extra touches of the record player etc. The property needs a little attention in the general maintenance, stairs rickety, washing machine no button to start, foot bar not secured to bar stools, filled sink over the overflow and leaked out under the sink unit. Also the rugs on the wooden floor are lethal when walking around. Could benefit from a better equipped kitchen Enjoyed the space very much, large, bright. Easy check-in/check-out. Great location.

Perfect Inner City Hideaway. The location (right in the centre of York) was fantastic, allowing us to pop back in whenever required throughout our visit without needing to leave the city walls.

This was the first listing for York we found and we fell in love with it, so we booked it on a whim. So glad we did. The place is beautifully decorated and slap bang in the middle of York, close to loads of amazing restaurants, bars, cafes and shops. Watching Netflix from the bath was a particular highlight! Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Perfect for a mini moon! The property is fabulous! It’s in a great central location - only a short walk from York train station and surrounded by lovely restaurants and bars. The flat’s facilities were second to none and we’ll definitely be back.

Great place! Great location! Was missing the details that one would expect with the price!

The apartment was great overall and in have a fantastic time location. The overall cleanliness really could have been better, but with a pair of old socks found under the sofa, the along with a mountain of dust. Also with the windows not opening and no air conditioning or fans, the the apartment was stuffy and overly hot. The bed was also very basic and quite uncomfortable, with it even more stuffy when trying to sleep. Some air conditioning, and a comfy mattress and professional cleaning and then it would be worth it's value.

Nice place

Over all the apartment was ina perfect location and had almost everything we needed , but the issue we had was with stays York them selves they were really bad about keeping in touch , the only other issue we had was the windows didn't open at all so the place got extremely hot and we had no way of cooling down .

“We had a really great couple of nights in the apartment. The space is lovely and very comfortable. It was so much nicer than booking a hotel room. The location was great, just a few minutes walk to the centre of York and right next to several cafes, bars and a couple of supermarkets. We would happily stay again and definitely recommend it.”

Such a lovely apartment with a great social open plan living room and kitchen, and such a great location being only minutes away from the town and the Shambles. The only criticism I could find was that the bed was too firm but that's just personal taste!
