Lovely in all aspects.
So nice to sit in the sunny garden with a glass of Champagne.
And a rainfall shower in nicely done shower room.
Beautiful tulips on the lounge table.
And a pint of milk in the fridge.
Perfect for us (a couple for a long weekend).

Perfect city break
This lovely little apartment is in a perfect location facing the city wall and York minster. It has only recently been converted into holiday accommodation and the decor and furnishings are lovely quality and in very good condition. It has been very thoughtfully equipped and we had everything we needed to make us feel comfortable and at home. We thought it was a perfect base to spend a few days exploring this interesting and beautiful city, and within easy walking distance of a huge choice of places to eat and drink. Our hosts came to meet us on arrival, and all of our communication with them was friendly, informative and helpful. Many thanks.
