Such fun staying at Micklegate! Authentic period architecture with spacious comfortable rooms and modern bathrooms. We loved it! Bedding and pillows could use an upgrade though, they felt a bit tired. I would stay there again.

The 2 bed/2 bath was with walking distance of train station and attractions of York. It was clean, spacious, and nicely appointed. There even were several through blankets in the living room which made added to the cozy atmosphere. The only draw backs for some might be stairs to get to the apt. and a step down to the on-suite bathroom, otherwise this place is great .

A beautiful? charming and spacious apartment that combines a blend with York's history (the half-timber vaulted reception room) with all the mod cons (kitchen & bathrooms). Brilliant location in easy walking distance of all attractions, restaurants, et al.Two small cautions to the mobility impaired or tall: it is 31 stairsteps from the street to the living space; and slanted ceilings and beam into one side of the reception room is only 5'11" high.Wi-fi often doesn't reach master bedroom and mattress is hard. On other hand, bedrooms are in back and remain nice and quiet despite lively street scene.We loved our month there, and loved York.

Check in was very easy with clear instructions. The flat iself is a well done update of a very cool historical structure. The flats location is ideal. There is a grocery store just down the street and getting into York is a short walk across the bridge and you're there. Everything is within walking distance. The Minster, Museums, markets and the shambles, all close. We highly recommend the Micklegate flat.

Fabulous Apartment in the heart of the old city

We absolutely loved staying in this authentic period yet modern apartment. So well situated to wander the old city with everything close by. Great room was beautiful and large. Bedrooms were situated at the back of the place and so very quiet. We also loved the restaurant and bar recommendations and would not hesitate to stay here again. Love love loved it!!!!

Perfect place to stay and explore York

I’ve stayed in many vacation rentals in the US, Canada, UK and EU, and this is my favorite. My husband and I were visiting from Texas, his sons came down from New Castle. This beautiful home had everything we needed. Kitchen is well appointed, washer works very well, and living area has plenty of space to relax and catch up. We will definitely consider staying here again when we return to York.

Great Place in a Great Location

It was a beautiful and comfortable home which was in a great location, allowing us to be able to walk around and enjoy all the city has to offer. Just be prepared to climb two flights of stairs to get into the house. We would pick this home again, which is apparently beautifully decorated at Christmas!

Stay at Micklegate Residence

Very good location. Some street noise at night on the weekend, but with the bedrooms in the back we were not disturbed. Steep stairs and no elevator, so not good for infirm folks, especially with heavy bags. The interior architecture and quality of the renovation was very high. We were 2 couples in our 70’s and it worked very well. We appreciated the “welcome” package! And when we asked for a coffee maker to replace the one that was leaking, they brought it right away. Oh yes, and the furniture and beds were very comfy.

Wonderful

Beautiful apartment in a fabulous location. Walking distance to all the main sites. Parking was very easy in nunnerery lane car park which was just a few minutes walk away. Very quiet bedrooms despite being in a lively location. Everything about the booking process was easy and great comminication. One small suggestion would be to provide a non slip bath mat for the bath. My 80 year old mum struggled to get out because there was no grab handle. Thats not a complaint just a suggestion. The apartment facilities were great and provided everything you need. Will definately be back. Have rented properties in many different locations throughout the world and this ranks amongst one of the nicest.

Spacious apartment in brilliant location.

An interesting spacious apartment in an excellent location. We enjoyed the ambiance of the conserved building but with the comfort levels of modern facilities. The location could not have been more convenient for access to the railway station, parking, the river, the walled ramparts and all the city attractions. Meiklegate offers some great restaurants within a few minutes walk and there is a handy supermarket on the doorstep. We appreciated the effective central heating system since we were there during a cold spell. We would certainly stay here again.

An excellent accommodation

We had a lovely 6-day stay in this very comfortable and picturesque apartment with a perfect location. Communication with the booking agent was pleasant and efficient, their service was very friendly, helpful and professional. Hopefully we’ll have another York visit at some point - we’d be happy to stay in the Micklegate Residence again.
