The property is right in the heart of the city so is a great place to easily explore all that York has to offer. There are reasonably steep stairs to the apartment and the apartment is on 3 floors. First floor has 2 bedrooms and a narrow bathroom. All of these were clean and tidy and comfortable. Door handles on some of the doors were loose and the bathroom lock could be dodgy so some simple maintenance required to make these better. 2nd floor has the lounge and kitchen areas. The lounge was comfortable and a good size but could do with a couple of extra comfortable chairs especially if more than 4 people are staying together. The kitchen has all you need in it but 2 of the folding chairs were broken. There were still enough good chairs though. Finally on the top floor is another bedroom, a bathroom and the utility room. Comfortable and good sized. Would benefit from some basic maintenance. The door to the bedroom is hanging off the top hinge so we decided not to touch the door meaning we could not shut it so could hear the machines in the utility room. The door to the utility room was missing the inside handle so, instead of putting on a new handle, the latch had been screwed open! Surely a basic job to put on a new handle which would have enabled the door to close minimising the noise.
We liked the location apart from it is opposite a 24 hr McDonalds. This meant it was noisy especially at the weekends when there was loud talking and shouting right through the night literally until about 6am. Whilst the apartment has some secondary glazing some of this is ill-fitting so does not dampen the noise. You really do need earplugs if you want to get any sleep.
If you don't mind it being noisy it is a great apartment that just needs some really basic maintenance to get it up to scratch.
Would recommend it if it has the basic jobs completed and has a note regarding the noise levels on any advert for it

This is a very spacious apartment in a fine old building. The central location near to the Minster is good but can be a bit noisy at the weekend and in the early morning.To deal with this the front facing rooms have triple glazing which helps with the noise, but would be a problem if you like a window open at night. The beds were comfortable. Sitting room sits 4 in comfort, 5 at a push. Furnishings a bit tired.
Comfort is let down by very poor curtains which let in too much light from the street in 2 of the bedrooms. Kitchen equipment is minimal eg no chopping knives. We didn’t attempt to cook. Oddly there are bell answerphones on 2 levels which are active but there is no outside bell! Fortunately the knocker is quite loud as there is only one set of keys.
Overall it is a good apartment which could be great with a bit of refurbishment.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Dec 2022
Great looking apartment, amazing location, however we were let down by some small details which really impacted our stay - the kitchen was not as well stocked as we were expecting with no knives for chopping, however did have a bread knife and steak knives but only 4 spoons for a house that sleeps 6…the spare duvets had no covers on them, so not sure how they are kept clean between guests, the downstairs bedroom has curtains so thin, the lights were shinning straight through all night, coupled with the constant noise from loitering outside McDonalds meant very little sleep for the guests in that room. Tried swapping into the bunks at the back room, however the mattress in the bottom bunk was so awful, it could not be slept on by an adult. There were no lightbulbs in hallway/staircase and the dark grey walls were absolutely beautiful but quite dangerous, we had to use our phones as torches to get up and down. We arrived in the evening of a -6degree day and the heating was not only not on, it was broken and we had to call twice to have someone come to fix, which they did eventually. We stayed for 13 nights in total but there was no halfway cleaning as promised by the booking, also no broom or cleaning equipment so the apartment was absolutely filthy by the time we left. Such small details which are really easily fixed by the management team, hopefully they will see to these small things before the next guests arrive! Unfortunately we would not stay here again nor would we recommend it to others. Very disappointing considering the premium we paid to stay over Christmas.
