Easy access to York town centre, about 10 minute walk
There was some heaters not working, fortunately weather was mild so luckily didn’t need heating even though it was November/December , also plumbing a bit dodgy, as bath took ages to drain out z

4.0 / 5.0
Good location-only a 10-15 minute walk to the Shambles/Minster area
View of the Minster from the window
Asda nearby to stock up on items
Allocated car parking space
Plenty of room within the apartment
Towels and useful self-catering items supplied
Located on 2nd floor and no lift
It's located within residential apartments so there was noise from the neighbours surrounding you
Had issue with sorting out the security deposit which required a lot of time to try and sort
4.0 / 5.0
Good value for money and everything you needed (such as plenty of tea/coffee/milk and even a kitchen roll).
Only one small thing - we felt the lounge lights were too bright and a nice low-wattage lamp would make it more pleasant in the evening.
3.5 / 5.0
The location is ideal for York, it's a short walk into town and there is an Asda just across the road.
The Apartment was quite tired looking it could definitely do with a paint. The couch had throws on it to hide how bad it was. It belongs in a skip. And we didn't have a hot drink all we due to the kettle being dirty. On the plus side the beds were comfy.
5.0 / 5.0
Comfy beds, well-equipped kitchen, good communication from management, excellent location.
Couldn't get extractor fan in bathroom to work.

Location was perfect and the facilities were as expected from the pictures. Not disappointed!
4.0 / 5.0
Well located for the City of York. The beds were comfortable, and the apartment was warm. Located on the corner of two main roads but very little road noise heard.
The instructions for using the cooker could have been clearer. They said to make sure the time was set or it would not work. The time was set but we needed to set the timer. We found rubbish from previous occupants under the sofa and the bedside cabinet.
4.0 / 5.0
Location. Well stocked
Beds should have a fitted sheet on bottom
3.0 / 5.0
Facilities in kitchen, location
Still problems with shower. Either very hot or very cold and no hot water for a bath on an evening and no way to switch it on
4.0 / 5.0
Exactly as it is shown in the pictures, great location, great amenities, definitely recommend!
The TV is a little on the small side but apart from that nothing to dislike.

spacious and clean
terrible shower
4.0 / 5.0
it was spacious and well furnished
the only issue we had was that the shower didn’t work.
2.5 / 5.0
The beds were comfortable
The upkeep seemed poor, with missing bulbs, several things not working, broken kitchen tools and minimal toiletries and soap left. Shouldn't advertise that shampoo is provided as would only last one night. Expected more for the price paid.
4.0 / 5.0
very well equipped, comfortable and only a short walk to the centre.
The shower isn’t good - water temperature and pressure problems.
4.5 / 5.0
Free parking, Asda 2 min walk for groceries, about 5 minute walk to city wall. Lovely well equipped apartment.
Nothing.
3.5 / 5.0
Spacious flat. Comfortable beds . Well stocked kitchen. Bus service nearby. About 10 to 15min walk to Minster depending on your fitness
Unfortunately flat we had was two flights up and no lift. Oversight on my part .
4.5 / 5.0
Location was really good. 10-15 minute walk along the city walls to the Merchant Gate and round to the Minster. Safe parking behind the building. Asda across the road. Furniture was comfy. Shower was good.
Possibly more toiletries - 1 bottle between 3 for 2 days was a bit ungenerous. We all came by train / plane so were carrying as little as possible re toiletries. Some washing up liquid as we didnt want to use the dishwasher just for cups - we ate out.
3.5 / 5.0
location, clean, comfortable and great value for money.
The Shower! woeful and all comments in visitor book say same - but nothing been done about this 😱😬
5.0 / 5.0
It's in a great location for shops, bars & train station. Asda with-in 2 minute walk, can be seen from living room.
The apartment has a washing machine, dishwasher, big fridge freezer. Great for a family with the 2 bedrooms. Separate kitchen/diner from living room. Very cosy.
They have a cupboard in living room with board games & books.
They send you a message asking about how you slept etc. Which was nice.
Car parking space for 1 car, this is signed just for this apartment & it is right below the apartment & you can see from window in kitchen. Brilliant. I wouldn't hesitate to book here again.
Oh & if anyone loves Christmas as much as I do, well they have a Nutcracker shop & a Christmas shop.
There is no lift. So wouldn't be ideal for anyone with difficulty on stairs. (we was ok with this though, I have only stated this for reference for disability).
3.5 / 5.0
location and it was veryclean
light bulbs were missing; light in entrance flickered a lot. Quite expensive for what it is
2.5 / 5.0
Parking included.
Comfortable furniture.
Washing and dryer and full size fridge.
The apartment is in need of some attention: it could use a fresh coat of paint throughout, there were no matching drinking glasses, the floor length kitchen curtain is missing, etc. The owner or the management company appears not to have visited on-site lately.
There was no information for the visitor: no wifi password was provided, no instructions on the heating system, the shower, etc.
And for travellers to York, or especially for those new to the neighborhood, there was no information on pubs, restaurants, etc.
It was clean but not really clean, if you get my drift.
(The bed sheet was ripped for example).
