The apartment was spacious and clean. The views were an added bonus and it was very quiet! We had a great stay.

Great stay in York
Lovely apartment woth everything you need except a big enough bed for 2 The bed are really too, too small for 2 adults. Recommend to have that changed. I can only recommend booking this aparment if the bed are changed. The tv was also broken with a flimmering steipe across the screen. Other than that, I cannot come up with anything negative.

Hello,
Thank you so much for taking time to leave a review, we really appreciate it.
I am sorry you found the beds too small, however they were chosen as the size of them best fits the room itself. Thank you for mentioning it, though.
We have also now replaced the TV, thank you for informing us of the issue.
Kind regards,
Stays York

Great location
This flat has a great location centre of York
Flat was decorated to high standard
Only faults was all the stairs to climb 70 steps to this flat. The lane it was situated on attracted homeless people who sat on the door step daily
The television reception was very bad it flickered constantly
