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.
