Exceptional

This apartment was ideal for a group of friends and family. It was very well fitted out with good quality modern furniture and fittings. It is minutes walk from York Minster and all the close by amenities of shops restaurants etc. There was all the equipment required in the apartment for self catering including a welcome pack of tea, coffee etc. Having a car parking space was a bonus. I would highly recommend and intend to go back in the future.

Great Apartment for Families
We stayed here in April, and really liked the apartment. The place was clean, well laid out, easy to find and use everything- we stayed as a family of 7 (2A, 5K) and had good amount of room, dishes, and seating. We used the apartment as a base to explore York and the surrounding area, and it helped that it had a parking space available for a vehicle. It was a short 5-7 minute walk to the city wall, so we easily got everywhere we wanted on foot. There's groceries about 5-6 minute walk away. It's on the third floor, which was the only drawback, but not difficult to access at all, so it wasn't a big factor. Again, very clean. If we ever come back to York, we are immediately reserving this apartment again.

An excellent stay
My daughter, sisters and I recently had an excellent stay at The Loft at St John's.
Although the rooms had limited clothing storage (no wardrobes because of the sloping roofs) the shelving provided was more than adequate for our 5 night stay. The whole apartment was modern and bright and very well equipped especially the kitchen area and the lounge/dining area was very spacious. As the name suggests The Loft is on the top (2nd) floor and due to the lack of a lift this might prove difficult for some if they have heavy cases. The apartment is outside of the city walls and away from a main road but it is only a short walk to one of the main entrances - Monkbar. Importantly too there is also a small but very well stocked supermarket near by.
All in all a great apartment in a quiet location but not far from the main amenities that York has to offer.

3 night city break in York
Property is very central to York. Could see the Minster from our balcony!
Had to call a StaysYork agent to gain entry to the building as we didn't know there was another main door to gain entry. So dependant on the number of your apartment depends on which gate and door you enter by. Once we called them, they quickly called back and then this became apparent. This information would have been useful to know in the check in information before arriving!
We had a lovely visit and were very lucky with the weather. Everything is on your doorstep so we didn't have to use our car at all, which was a bonus.
Would recommend this as a base for anyone wanting to explore York, especially as it comes with a parking space!

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're really pleased to hear you had such a great stay and that you enjoyed the fantastic central location — the view of the Minster from the balcony is definitely a special touch!
We’re sorry for the confusion around the entry access, and we appreciate you bringing that to our attention. We’ve taken your feedback on board and will look at updating the check-in information to make that clearer for future guests.
It’s great to know you made the most of being right in the heart of York and that the parking space added to the convenience. We'd love to welcome you back again anytime you're visiting the city!
Kind regards,
Molly
