Spotless
This is a really lovely apartment for two, spotlessly clean and everything you need to explore York.
There were even teabags, spices and plenty of cooking utensils.
SO peaceful, very close to the river and an easy walk into the city.

Great stay
We really enjoyed our stay. The apartment is a modern refurbishment in a terraced house. It was well decorated and the fixtures and fittings are a balanced mixture of modern and traditional. There are some nice surprise features too - an excellent fan and a nicely stocked kitchen (tea, coffee, condiments and herb and spices). The bathroom is modern with a powerful shower. The bath towels are BIG - well suited for my large frame. The outdoor parking was easy as the road was quiet during our stay and we were able to park right outside the apartment throughout our stay. The walk into York is a gentle 25 minutes and relatively flat. There is a comprehensive booklet covering all aspects of a stay - places to visit, restaurants and bar, shopping and much more. Fast and comprehensive contact with host. All in all perfect for our needs and highly recommended.
