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.

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
