This is a very spacious apartment in a fine old building. The central location near to the Minster is good but can be a bit noisy at the weekend and in the early morning.To deal with this the front facing rooms have triple glazing which helps with the noise, but would be a problem if you like a window open at night. The beds were comfortable. Sitting room sits 4 in comfort, 5 at a push. Furnishings a bit tired. Comfort is let down by very poor curtains which let in too much light from the street in 2 of the bedrooms. Kitchen equipment is minimal eg no chopping knives. We didn’t attempt to cook. Oddly there are bell answerphones on 2 levels which are active but there is no outside bell! Fortunately the knocker is quite loud as there is only one set of keys. Overall it is a good apartment which could be great with a bit of refurbishment.

Central location, lovely welcome hamper, everything well presented clean and tidy. However there were a few negatives to be aware of, lots of stairs inside, 24hr McDonalds directly outside with all noisy antics etc until early hours, then about 0600 the lorries, deliveries, street cleaners workmen etc start. Also sounds like a a seagull nest on the roof. The property is secondary double glazed which helps a little.

Great looking apartment, amazing location, however we were let down by some small details which really impacted our stay - the kitchen was not as well stocked as we were expecting with no knives for chopping, however did have a bread knife and steak knives but only 4 spoons for a house that sleeps 6…the spare duvets had no covers on them, so not sure how they are kept clean between guests, the downstairs bedroom has curtains so thin, the lights were shinning straight through all night, coupled with the constant noise from loitering outside McDonalds meant very little sleep for the guests in that room. Tried swapping into the bunks at the back room, however the mattress in the bottom bunk was so awful, it could not be slept on by an adult. There were no lightbulbs in hallway/staircase and the dark grey walls were absolutely beautiful but quite dangerous, we had to use our phones as torches to get up and down. We arrived in the evening of a -6degree day and the heating was not only not on, it was broken and we had to call twice to have someone come to fix, which they did eventually. We stayed for 13 nights in total but there was no halfway cleaning as promised by the booking, also no broom or cleaning equipment so the apartment was absolutely filthy by the time we left. Such small details which are really easily fixed by the management team, hopefully they will see to these small things before the next guests arrive! Unfortunately we would not stay here again nor would we recommend it to others. Very disappointing considering the premium we paid to stay over Christmas.

The location was fantastic and the accommodations were excellent. One bathroom was a little small but that is likely because I’m used to much larger. Easy check in and check out. Will definitely look to stay here again on my next trip to York.

Constant, very loud, drunken stupidity made for a pretty sleepless night. Opposite 24 hour McDonald's. Really strong room fragrance in the kitchen was really off-putting and made me wonder what smells they were trying to conceal. Window sills not clean.

Decent place, great overall location - terrible neighbors

Decent place, great overall location - terrible neighbors

So be prepared this street has no parking so it’s unload/load only and hope that you don’t do that on a Sunday when the street isn’t accessible. Lots of stairs in the property so be prepared. No AC or fans on hand so given it was a hot few days sleeping was uncomfortable. That was made worse by being opposite the only 24hr food place in York - so those fights, loud discussions, singing and crying went on till almost 4am most nights. 1st level bathroom is tiny. Not too bad but a lot of small things means I only say it’s a 2-3 out of 5 overall.

Great location but noisy!

Great location but noisy!

A nice apartment in a great location but the McDonald's directly across the road is open 24 hours and it gets very noisy between 1am and 5am. The secondary glazing does little to reduce the impact and sleep is very difficult. The apartment is well furnished and equipped but maintainence is poor with several lights not working a shower tap that comes off in your hand and unusable power sockets. It has the potential to be a great apartment but probably best for those who don't intend to sleep much!

Needs some care & attention

Needs some care & attention

The property was well situated (although youngsters outside McDonalds, which is directly opposite, were often very noisy!). It was clean & the beds comfortable but the sofa was very worn. It sleeps 7 but the lounge only has seating for four, or five if three people squash on the sofa. There was also a lack of crockery & glasses for that many. The shower curtain in one bathroom was only held up by about three rings & we had to screw the stair rail to the wall as it had become loose at one end & we felt it was dangerous. A shame as most of these complaints could be sorted with minimum effort & not a lot of money. It asks if I would recommend and the answer is only if there are four of you & some of the faults are rectified.

Excellent Location!

Excellent Location!

The apartment was in an excellent location, close to all the attractions, a bit noisy at times mainly late evening but that is what you expect in the middle of a city on a Friday & Saturday night, the apartment could have done with a higher standard of cleaning in certain areas, the apartment was very spacious, beds large and very comfortable, good quality linen and towels. The parking space was a 10 minute walk away but you could unload outside the property. A very enjoyable weekend.

Lovely apartment

Lovely apartment

This cozy apartment is wonderful if you want to stay in the centre of York. The only drawback is that it can be a little noisy since there is a Mcdonalds opposite which is open 24/7.

Lovely house in the centre of York.

Lovely house in the centre of York.

Lovely house in the centre of York, great location and close to the Minster and shops. The only downside is the noise at night from the 24 hour Mc Donald's opposite. Very spacious, comfortable and well equipped spread over 3 floors. Would highly recommend it if you don't mind stairs and a bit of noise! We've stayed there 3 times now!
