Location is superb -- right on the River Ouse within minutes walk time to the City Walls, York Minster, the Shambles, and other attractions of the city, while providing easy access by car and free secure parking under the building (though there is a small but real risk that the parking garage could flood, so always be aware of weather forecasts). Excellent views from two balconeys and nearly every window, showcasing the boat traffic and waterfowl just a few stories below. Really one of the best locations in the city. When we stayed (mid-March) it was very quiet at night, but this may change during the summer when crowds come out on the opposite bank (where several pubs are located). Fortunately, this unit is far enough downriver from the action that the noise shouldn't be a major issue most times, especially if windows are closed at night.
