About this property

York city centre apartment, North Yorkshire, England

A modern, home from home apartment, situated within York’s city walls.
The apartment is on the first floor of a three-storey block of six flats in total, sharing a secure car park.
A coded gateway, located under the archway entrance, ensures security for the small complex.
Set within a small, neatly maintained and peaceful, communal garden, the apartment comprises an entrance hall, sitting room, breakfast kitchen, twin bedroom, master bedroom and bathroom.
In the sitting room are two large leather sofas, one of which converts into a comfortable double bed, a flat widescreen television with digital channels and access to Netflix, and a Blu-Ray DVD player. A selection of DVDs, games and many books about York - its history and attractions - are all provided, as is broadband internet access. Wifi is available throughout.
The fully-fitted kitchen contains everything you need to feel at home including a dishwasher, fridge freezer, washwe/dryer, microwave, cafetiere and toaster.
There are electric heaters in each room and an electric immersion tank for hot water.
All York’s museums (Railway, Castle, Yorkshire and Chocolate - York’s Sweet History) are a short stroll away, as are two cinemas, both theatres and the Barbican concert venue. York Racecourse is also within walking distance.
For motorists, Queens Court provides a secure, allocated parking space. It is equally convenient for the railway station and Park & Ride bus stops.

*Since Covid, a hand sanitiser unit has been installed inside the front door of the building in which our apartment is located. It makes sense to use this each time you enter, regardless of any current virus warnings.

Great Location and Property

The property is situated on the edge of the main city centre and everywhere was within a fifteen minute walk of the property, many places were much closer. The property was clean, well equipped and quiet, with really good parking. Would use again when we go back to York

Good location with easy parking

The flat was in a nice neighborhood and very quiet for the most part. Most all amenities in the listing were accurate and available. We had to go out to buy a bar of soap and shampoo upon arrival but shopping is very close by. Strong smell of tobacco smoke in the hallways that worsened during our stay. No odor in the flat.

Perfect Apartment in Great Location

This is a wonderful apartment. Everything was spotlessly clean, updated, and modern. Felt very cozy. There is a grocery store 2 minutes away around the corner. The location is great with all the fun sights of York just a short walk away. We took a day trip to Thirsk for the James Herriot "All Creatures Great and Small" museum. I would highly recommend it.

Long Birthday Weekend

The property was perfect for us had everything we needed, the kitchen was extremely well equipped, heating, shower, beds cleanliness excellent, really can't say one negative thing about the flat, all you need for a comfortable stay. The location perfect just less than 10 minute walk into York. The owner Debbie was also extremely kind, informative and helpful, the details she sent regarding directions and details for the accommodation were detailed, useful and accurate, we'd told her our daughter was joining us later in our stay and arriving by train Debbie even sent us detailed directions on how to get to the station such a thoughtful much appreciated touch. All I can say for owner and accommodation is excellent and thank you we had a wonderful break, can't wait to return.

Great location and flat but stale cigarette smell was overwhelming.

Flat was clean and as advertised. Great location easy to walk anywhere you wanted. However the lobby of the flat smells like some smoked a pack a day for the last several years. I assume this is outside the control of the host but I can not believe this was not mentioned on other posts. There were even signs posted stating to keep windows in stair wells open to help with cigarette smell. It was warm so we had windows open and every afternoon we had to close them because other tenants were smoking outside our window in the garden. If smoking does not bother you this is a great flat in York.

Perfect location for our week in York, everything within walking distance. Lovely apartment equipped with everything we needed, clean & tidy, comfortable beds. Location very quiet & peaceful. Debbie gave precise instructions on accessing the apartment, how to use storage heaters etc. We planned each day in advance booking places to visit. We had a fantastic break & were so lucky with weather.

My sister and I loved staying at this perfectly located apartment inside the city walls of York. The apartment is clean, warm and welcoming with comfortable beds and really nice kitchen and living room. It's super quiet and yet minutes away from great restaurants, grocers and lots of things to do. Good shopping too! Our wonderful host Debbie was quick to respond to questions. If we ever find ourselves in York again I hope this apartment is available.

We loved our stay here. It was perfect for our family of 4. We very much appreciated how comfortable and spacious it was including a 2nd bedroom with two twin beds for our kids. We were also thankful for the washer/dryer as our next travel destination was without laundry. We enjoyed the board games, local books, and TV & DVD collection in the large and comfortable living room. The accommodation is perfectly located within walking distance to the train station, many tourist sites, great restaurants, shops, and groceries. The kitchen has everything you need too. We hope to visit again. Our host Debbie was very kind and a wonderful source of helpful information. She went out of here way to answer our questions and provided great travel advice. We are so thankful and happy we found Debbie and her wonderful VRBO.
