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 only six flats, 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 (can be used for a small extra charge), a flat widescreen television with digital channels and, via a Firestick, access to your own Netflix/Prime Video etc. There is also a Blu-Ray player and a selection of DVDs, as well as games and many books about York - its history and attractions. WiFi broadband internet access is available throughout. The fully-fitted kitchen contains everything you need to feel at home including a dishwasher, fridge freezer, washer/dryer, microwave, single cup cafetiere and toaster. There are electric heaters and smoke alarms in each room and, in the hall cupboard an electric immersion tank for hot water, fan for use in living room/main bedroom when required, and clothes airers. 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 (ten minutes' walk) 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.

It was an icredible location and a great size for a family. It allowed us to easily walk to all of York's top sights, and still have some space to unwind at the end of the day.
Lovely stay. Clean, modern, easy parking and within walking distance of all main activities and shops. Would recommend. The Brazilian restaurant just around the corner on the main road was superb!
Perfect place to stay with the family for a city break in York. Was great being so close to everything, and the flat was well appointed and had everything we needed.
This apartment is in a very good location, close to all amenities and attractions. Hosts are very helpful and the apartment is clean and has everything you need. This was our 2nd year in this apartment and wouldn't hesitate to book again
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.
The property was well suited for a family break in York. Parking in site and great location for all the sites. Very helpful owner who provided loads of useful information about the property and the local area
Lovely flat in a quiet road but so close to the centre of York and within short walking distances of all the attractions. It also has the added bonus of free secure parking.
The flat was very clean and had everything you could need for a weekend away (an
The property is lovely and has everything you need for a comfortable and safe stay. It’s in a great location just minutes walk from the centre, with restaurants and shops literally on your doorstep. The owner responded as quickly as she could to any questions and was friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend this property.
We very much enjoyed our stay, excellent location near all amenities. Very well presented apartment with everything needed. Would definitely recommend.
Pleasant apartment situated very centrally in York. Well equipped. We are an elderly couple, but this would be fine for a small family too.Very important for us - comfortable beds and good quality ben linen and towels.
This vrbo was a very pleasant surprise! Easy to find, close to the center of town. We were able to walk to everything we wanted to see! The flat was clean, modern, easy to operate appliances, etc. We cooked several meals during our stay. I would absolutely stay here again! Don’t miss the Minster-take the 258 stairs to the top; it’s worth it!
There is so much to see in York and surrounding area. Our 3 day visit wasn't nearly long enough.
Our accommodations were in the perfect spot to walk get around to see so many attractions. Shopping, informational walks, art exhibits, historic sites and restaurants were all within an easy walking distance. Our host suggested many places to see and had a variety of leaflets on hand for us to peruse and help us decide where to go. I would definitely book this flat again if return to York.
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.
Location was perfect for walking to any of the major attractions, yet was very quiet and calm. Probably one of the cleanest places we've been to. Very organized and responsive host. We appreciated how well it was set up for guests. Read the host's instructions carefully and you'll be fine. However, I'm glad my husband was there to help access the key to check in, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to.
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.
Lovely clean, comfortable, warm and well maintained apartment close to the centre of York, ideal for our needs visiting the Christmas Market this weekend. Perfect for myself with limited mobility being able to have secure onsite car parking. Flat is on the first floor for anyone with similar issues. Very quiet area, no disturbances but close to lots of lovely places to eat out. Debbie the host, is easily contactable and provided all relevant information, great communication. Would definitely go back.
The apartment was excellent vaue, clean comfortable and warm. Lots of local information and even a nice stash of board games and dvds too. Great communication from the property owner.
The location was absolutely brilliant with the added bonus of being in a secure courtyard with its own parking space.
A ten minute walk to the city centre made this an ideal choice for our city break and if we decide to retur to York we would definitely book the apartment again.
I cannot recommend this enough. X

We had problems getting into the place as there were no keys in the lock box. We almost booked a hotel for the night. Luckily the owner sent someone with keys just in the nick of time. We found it tedious to try to understand how the oven and microwave worked. The apartment was in an excellent location, close to groceries and attractions.. York is a wonderful city with lots to explore.
