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 six flats in total, 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, a flat widescreen television with digital channels and access to Netflix, and a Blu-Ray DVD player. A selection of DVDs, games and many books about York - its history and attractions - are all provided, as is broadband internet access. Wifi is available throughout.
The fully-fitted kitchen contains everything you need to feel at home including a dishwasher, fridge freezer, washwe/dryer, microwave, cafetiere and toaster.
There are electric heaters in each room and an electric immersion tank for hot water.
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 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.

This flat was PERFECT for two couples on holiday. It was within the city walls but on a quiet street. We were able to walk to EVERYTHING we needed even though we had a car. The flat itself was clean, comfortable and well provisioned.

My sister and I loved staying at this perfectly located apartment inside the city walls of York. The apartment is clean, warm and welcoming with comfortable beds and really nice kitchen and living room. It's super quiet and yet minutes away from great restaurants, grocers and lots of things to do. Good shopping too! Our wonderful host Debbie was quick to respond to questions. If we ever find ourselves in York again I hope this apartment is available.

We loved our stay here. It was perfect for our family of 4. We very much appreciated how comfortable and spacious it was including a 2nd bedroom with two twin beds for our kids. We were also thankful for the washer/dryer as our next travel destination was without laundry. We enjoyed the board games, local books, and TV & DVD collection in the large and comfortable living room. The accommodation is perfectly located within walking distance to the train station, many tourist sites, great restaurants, shops, and groceries. The kitchen has everything you need too. We hope to visit again. Our host Debbie was very kind and a wonderful source of helpful information. She went out of here way to answer our questions and provided great travel advice. We are so thankful and happy we found Debbie and her wonderful VRBO.

This vrbo was a very pleasant surprise! Easy to find, close to the center of town. We were able to walk to everything we wanted to see! The flat was clean, modern, easy to operate appliances, etc. We cooked several meals during our stay. I would absolutely stay here again! Don’t miss the Minster-take the 258 stairs to the top; it’s worth it!

We had problems getting into the place as there were no keys in the lock box. We almost booked a hotel for the night. Luckily the owner sent someone with keys just in the nick of time. We found it tedious to try to understand how the oven and microwave worked. The apartment was in an excellent location, close to groceries and attractions.. York is a wonderful city with lots to explore.

Good location with easy parking

The flat was in a nice neighborhood and very quiet for the most part. Most all amenities in the listing were accurate and available. We had to go out to buy a bar of soap and shampoo upon arrival but shopping is very close by. Strong smell of tobacco smoke in the hallways that worsened during our stay. No odor in the flat.
