ideal for a couple
loved my stay here, very clean and easy to access, the property was a great base for exploring York and we would certainly reccomend, decorated to a high standard. We had the option of a late check out and this was great to give us the morning to leisureky check out, we tried the small cafe round the corner for breakfast, less than a minutes walk away, great for your morning coffee!!

Great location
The apartment was in a great location (10mins walking to the city centre)
I was so glad reading previous reviews about the struggle of getting a big car threw the tiny ally way so we took my car which just fitted (Toyota CHR) we drove to the bottom of the road and the turn is slightly bigger than the 1 which is stated on the attachment they send you.
There was some minor damage in the apartment - bedroom door had a crack in it and the couch had rips on the arm. Overall the apartment was clean and it was ideal location

Great base for exploring York
This apartment is a great base for exploring York. If you turn left out of the front door and follow Ambrose Street down to the river, York centre is a lovely 10 minute walk along the river bank.
It is a comfortable, well equipped apartment, only downside is the parking.
The parking space is down two very narrow alleys. That wouldn’t be a problem it there weren’t two very sharp corners to execute down those alleys. My car will be visiting the body shop next week unfortunately. It is a big car but the alleys are extremely narrow and there is no on road parking in the vicinity that isn’t permit only.
Other than that it is a wonderful little base for a break in York.

Great Stay
Had such a lovely stay at Apartment 1 The Keyes! The apartment was nicely decorated and made an extremely cosy break away. Free on street parking was really convenient and only a 10 minute walk into York city centre. York Boutique Lets staff were really lovely and really helpful. Any queries we had were answered straight away .We had a brilliant stay and have already recommended to friends. Thank you again for a fantastic stay
Excellent property, clean and tidy and only a 10 to 15 min walk to the town centre. On street parking too so no need to pay for city centre parking during your stay
