Very Nice Property & Excellent Location..
Very Nice Property , a stone throw from the City Centre. Everything is in walking distance from the property.
Plus parking on Site , even with a Van.
Would stay again.
Lovely flat
My dad and I very much enjoyed our weekend in this very clean, well-equipped and comfortable flat.
Thank you for such a positive review. We do hope that, in quipping it for our own needs, it meets those of our guests too. I shall pass on your comments to the cleaners too who are most definitely the est in York!
Great location
Great location. Parking area and entrance to apartment are behind a locked gate. The apartment is very close to York downtown. It was very clean. All the appliances worked and instructions were available in a folder. The beds were very comfortable (rare with rentals). There was a lot of info about York in the rental. Debbie was very responsive by email. I would recommend walking in the opposite direction from York & trying some of the cafes & restaurants on Bishopthorpe. Also, we went to The Golden Ball pub where they have live folk music on Sunday nights. Great experience!!
Thank you very much for your positive review and helpful comments for future guests. You are right - Bishopthorpe Road and indeed, Micklegate, have some great cafes and restaurants. Thank you also for the tip about the Golden Ball folk night - something we didn't know about. It's a community run pub so it's great that visitors are supporting it:-)
Excellent facility
good
Thank you for your top review. Delighted that you enjoyed staying in the apartment.
Excellent location
The property is in an excellent location within easy walking distance of both the minster and the railway station, but it's also very quiet. It's clean, and in good decorative order, with all the essential amenities. The entry system is awkward, and there was a problem with the contract, but both these were sorted. Recommended.
Thank you for the review. Following your comment re the entry system, we will endeavour to make it easier if possible for future guests and, as you have already commented, the contract issue was resolved prior to your booking confirmation thanks to your diligent perusing of the wording which will help others going forward. I'm pleased you found the apartment clean and suitable for your needs.

Coast/Beach:
Scarborough 41 miles by car; also accessible by direct train
Whitby 50 miles
Travel:
York is less than an hour away from Leeds Bradford airport and not much further from Teesside and Doncaster (Robin Hood) airports.
York is on the main East coast rail line and the railway station is only a few minutes walk from the apartment.
Travelling by car, York is easily accessible from the A1, north or south, with the apartment being just ten minutes drive away from the ring road. Once there, you will have little need for a car as the whole city is easily accessible by foot.
Distances:
There is so much to see and do in York that you will easily occupy a whole week's stay without leaving the city.
If you crave even more history, the stately homes of Harewood House and Castle Howard are 25 miles and 15 respectively.
Should you wish to explore further afield, the North York Moors, Yorkshire Dales, and the beautiful Yorkshire coast can all be reached by car in an hour.
Further Details:
All the main supermarkets have high street outlets within 3 minutes' walk of the apartment.
You are spoilt for choice if you want to eat out, with cafes, restaurants and pubs every few yards making the city centre as lively by night as it is by day.
History lovers will love rambling around York's historic streets such as the Shambles and Stonegate, and delight in visits to the Castle Museum and the Yorkshire Museum as well as the Minster.
Arts lovers can fill their time with visits to York Theatre Royal, the Grand Opera House, the Barbican concert hall and York City art gallery, as well as the two city centre cinemas.
Fancy a break from the hustle and bustle of the historic and shopping areas? Then walk or take a cruise along the River Ouse or visit one of the city's two main parks - the 20-acres of Rowntree Park and the ten-acre botanical Museum gardens - both but a short stroll away from the apartment.
