    No one knew how to turn on the heated towel rail ! We were there 5 weeks and had to dry our towels in the lounge by the open window.

    Fabulous location. Central to Everything. Very comfortable apartment.

    Not something anyone can control but the noise from the streets - we stayed Friday to Monday and the only night we didn’t really hear anything was the Sunday evening. Down to single pane windows.

    Homely environment but modern at the same time. Very clean. The welcome pack was a nice little touch. The shower was lovely.

    The central location comes with a downside in that both front windows look out onto a busy street, one which is very noisy - we took a small fan with us which helped mask some of this which helped us to sleep. Otherwise despite certain things being provided, the bathroom soap was only a third full, which very nearly ran out in our stay and only three and a half rolls of toilet paper were provided, so we had to buy more. The radiators are quite noisy also and unless you turn the heating up quite high it can be a little chilly in the mornings. Pillows are also not the best, so taking your own might be a good idea!

    A lovely apartment in a perfect location. Only a few minutes walk from most things, lots of cafés bars and restaurants within only a few minutes walk too. Apartment is clean and tidy with great facilities, with utensils provided making it possible to self cater here for up to three people. The bedroom is neat and tidy and the bed is comfy, and the bathroom is also very neat, although the shower cubicle itself is in need of a little refresh, the shower itself is really easy to use and pleasant. Water pressure is also really good. Really enjoyed the stay and found out thoroughly enjoyable. There is a tesco express just up the road so it is easy to buy any small items you may need.

    The view from the apartment wasn't great but fine for a short stay.

    Location was perfect only a couple of minutes from city centre and attractions.

    Due to location it is prone to late night noise disruptions including a 4.30am loud drunken conversation straight outside the bedroom window

    Enjoyable but property in need of one or two improvements to achieve ' luxury' status

    I wouldn't describe it as 'luxury' tbh. The net curtains were ripped, dirty and in need of replacement and the window cill/frames were not exactly clean. The cutlery was very cheap and literally bent when squeezing a teabag!

    Location was perfect for us as we didn't have a car - bit noisy but no issues with that. Bathroom was small but very clean. Facilities provided were fine for our needs.

    We were not informed that we would have aground floor apartment and so our place was on a very busy street in york. The walls were. thin and the windows allowed A LOT of noise to pass through. Especially on the weekend, this street is very busy until around 3/4am when all the bars shut. It often sounded like there was a bar right outside our bedroom due to the sheer volume of noise. Due. to us being on the ground floor, all the windows of the apartment looked right out onto the street where people could walk right up to the window. This meant we spent our stay with all the curtains shut.

    Apartment was very cosy and the facilities were great. The place was a nice amount of space and very homely for our stay. Location was very close to the city centre, as well as only a short ride from the train station, and made visiting york very easy

    Great location, not luxury.

    Overal It is not luxury as described, In parts it was very basically furnished particularly the bedroom. Nets at the windows were grubby with holes, so needed replacing. Kitchen had all the pans and tins, dustpan and brush all piled up together under the sink ! So a bit off putting. Bathroom was nice and modern, shame about the unsightly anti slip pads in the shower all mouldy. It was very noisy with people passing by at all hours. Some more attention to detail was needed, and better quality finishing touches.

    The location is great. Handy for the City.It was clean, and warm. The bathroom was nicely done out. Nice units in the kitchen. York is lovely with so much to do and see.

    must come back!

    The bedroom window, which I guess is a period feature, is a bit old and lets in quite a bit of light as well as drafts. I would have liked more crockery (extra bowls and plates).

    Very comfortable! Pix don't even do justice to how cosy and relaxing the flat is. The open-space kitchen/lounge is the perfect relaxation area. The flat is also carefully and tastefully decorated which helps its cosy atmosphere. Spacious and quaint at the same time, perfect for children as well.

    There were glass shards in the bedroom carpet. Spread all over. Some pieces were big enough to hurt.

    Just the location from main attractions

    It’s ground floor next to street, only single layer sash window without any safety latch. If we want to open the window for some fresh air or ventilation in this super hot summer temperature, we have to keep an eye on the open window, others it is really easy for people to get in from street level.

    Good location, nice and clean.
