The apartment is in a fantastic, safe location, with the city centre, Asda and local amenities all within easy reach. It was spacious, matched the photos, and the large balcony was a real highlight, perfect for relaxing or having breakfast. The host was friendly and provided clear check-in instructions. However, there were a few issues. The bedrooms became very warm as airflow barely reached them, and despite requesting desk fans before and during our stay, none could be provided, so we had to buy our own. The kitchen was only basically equipped, with limited dishwasher tablets, no washing detergent or cleaning spray, and the cookware could be improved. The hot water couldn't support two showers at once, and the balcony door lock was awkward to use. Overall, it's a comfortable stay in a great location, but a few practical improvements would make a big difference.

Fantastic fourth floor apartment on the edge of York City Centre with stunning views of York Minster from the private rooftop terrace and worth every penny for a two night weekend stay. It’s spacious, modern, very clean and equipped with everything you could possibly want for a short stay including a wine cooler as an added nice touch. Great location and only 10 to 15 minutes walk from central York and with the added bonus of free on site car parking. Would highly recommended this apartment and host.
