I loved the fact that this clean and cute apartment with modern fixtures and fittings was in an old cocoa factory! The view out the window of the ducks, geese, and swans on the river was relaxing and charming. The kitchenette saved me money on eating all my meals out, and this was a great sanctuary to come back home to after a busy day in York. The building was quiet and you have the extra privacy of a door that shuts off the vestibule. Of course, many university students live around here and you can expect some street noise on the weekends. I would recommend it with two provisos: one, if you have mobility issues be advised there is no bus stop right nearby so you need a car, or taxi money. Plus the trek down the hallway to the suite is a long one. The stroll up to the city center is just about 15 or twenty minutes and it's all very picturesque, with pubs, restaurants, and shops along the way. There are also several grocery stores within walking distance. The second proviso is that when I was there, the internet kept cutting out. If you are relying on internet for online meetings or things like that, you might want to have a word with the managers first.
