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 only six flats, 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 (can be used for a small extra charge), a flat widescreen television with digital channels and, via a Firestick, access to your own Netflix/Prime Video etc. There is also a Blu-Ray player and a selection of DVDs, as well as games and many books about York - its history and attractions. WiFi broadband internet access is available throughout.
The fully-fitted kitchen contains everything you need to feel at home including a dishwasher, fridge freezer, washer/dryer, microwave, single cup cafetiere and toaster.
There are electric heaters and smoke alarms in each room and, in the hall cupboard an electric immersion tank for hot water, fan for use in living room/main bedroom when required, and clothes airers.
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 (ten minutes' walk) 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.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Love this flat! I visit my son every few months (I live in Texas. He lives here) and will definitely stay here again. Plenty of room to relax, bed was very comfortable, and the kitchen was large enough for my son and I to actually cook. :) Loved the location…super close to my fave coffee shop, the Perky Peacock.

This has to have been my best experience yet with Vrbo. The property was just as described. It was clean, well maintained; the sheets and towels were spotless, the floors clean. The kitchen had matching and usable plates, bowls, tea cups and cutlery. It was easy to get to on foot from the train station and highly walkable to the main part of town. We were also just around the corner from a small grocery store and near several restaurants.

We had a lovely stay in Debbie's apartment. It was spacious and in a great location. We could easily walk to everywhere in the York centre and there were plenty of good pubs nearby for meals. Debbie gave us a comprehensive list of restaurants and things to do in York. We would recommend a stay in this apartment.

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!
