Overall we were very satisfied

This apartment is superbly located and an ideal size for a couple. There is a fair bit of road noise but that didn't bother us too much. We were initially surprised to be informed that our service clean would be fortnightly instead of weekly as advertised and stated in the welcome folder. However Stays York did rectify this at our request which we appreciated. This was the second time we have stayed in this apartment and overall it met our needs and we were very satisfied. Stays York were always helpful and very responsive to any queries.

Great place to stay in York!

Clean, attractive apartment in walking distance to the Shambles, Jorvik Center, and Exhibition Square with Art Gallery and Minster. Just like the listing. Bed was soft but comfortable. Shower had good water pressure and temperature control. Reliable WiFi. Tesco Local very close. Restaurants and shops all along the block. Parking was somewhat inconvenient, close but difficult path with luggage. If you are a light sleeper, bring earplugs because there's street and sidewalk noise just on the other side of the windows. Minor stuff: No shower necessities other than towels. No salt or pepper or oil in the kitchen.

Convenient & comfortable

The apartment was just as advertised. It was a convenient walking distance to York attractions, the grocery store and shopping. Only 2 steps into the building and 1 step into the bathroom. I say this because I am limited in the amount of walking I can handle in a day but I was able to walk everywhere from the apartment. It was comfortable with enough room for 2 people. I had a minor issue with a curtain rod it was handled professionally & immediately. The booklet explaining miscellaneous things about the apartment was well organized. I would suggest adding a page about how to operate the washing machine. I figured it out eventually. I enjoyed my stay and would not hesitate to book here again.

Great location for a short break

This lovely light airy clean apartment is ideally located for a city break. We loved the fact that you could pop back during the day and be so close to the city centre. The apartment was comfortable and provided all we needed. We will be back again. Communication with Stays York was excellent.

Great stay

Great apartment plenty big enough for two. Clean and tidy, kitchen fully equipped even with the egg cups which are very often missing from other holidays have been on. If was going to be really picky, the sofa was a bit uncomfortable after a while and a tv in the bedroom would be nice but these are personal preferences. Will be looking to book again, so thanks again for a great stay.

Fossgate, York

Several items need replacing. The toaster didn't work. The pillows are very thin. The colander is broken & there are insufficient pans of a large size. However, the property was clean & comfortable, though wouldn't say it was luxurious.

Perfect location highly recommend

This says it all: we planned to be there for a month but ended up staying for almost three. The condo is in the middle of the city and a short walk to everything - grocery, shops, restaurants, tourist sites. No need for a car. The kitchen is well equipped, the place is bright and airy, and the owners very nice. Would be hard to find a better place in a more central location that this one. We hope to return in the future!

Very accessible

Lovely, clean apt. Just as advertised. Only 2 steps into building. Easy walking distance to York attractions. Kitchen had everything I needed including washing machine. Great shower. Would stay here again with no hesitation. Only one recommendation, a small portable clothes drying rack would have been helpful to place wet clothes by the beautiful breeze coming through the window. Thank you.
