Great Retreat
Things we loved: the bed! It was soft and at first we had doubts but it was perfect- we called it “The cloud bed” because it felt like we were getting into a big soft cloud and we loved it, the bath! Just lovely and not where we expected it to be!, the washer/dryer which was very useful and saved us time not having to find a laundry service, and the welcome basket was a lovely surprise.
What could be improved- the little patio is small and at the base of a chute really but it could be made more inviting with a few plants or inexpensive decor. We were missing a few small items like soap for the dishwasher and a scrub pad for dishes. We ran out of toilet paper quite quickly and we also needed to buy washing machine detergent - not a big deal but these were all short supply or just not there.
Instructions for most things were readily available and very clear - including manuals for the various appliances.
The location was perfect for us coming from the train and just a short stroll to all the things we wanted to visit. We could hear people above us a little but nothing excessive and really had a quiet, lovely stay. We would definitely return and recommend!

Lovely York apartment in great location
We loved our beautifully appointed apartment in York, within walking distance of everything you’d want to see and do in this historic town. The welcome basket of foods and Prosecco was loaded with specialties from York and we enjoyed being able to easily walk to Yorkminster, take one of the free historic walking tours, the York museum, and of course the famous Shambles. So many wonderful pubs, restaurants and shops to enjoy. We really loved the apartment and can’t wait to return to this beautiful town for a longer stay.

Great stay
Lovely property; felt safe and was very central- great for sight seeing. A little noisy from the upper flat as this was a basement flat and you could hear everything above you. Other than that was lovely and would stay again
