“Perfect location. Beautiful accommodation”
I have nothing negative to say about this property. Myself and my sister were met at the door by Mike. He gave us a lovely welcome and showed us around his beautiful house. There is a full functional kitchen downstairs with everything you would need if you wished to use it. The bedroom was outstanding, exceptionally clean, bed was very comfortable and bathroom has a large shower and large bath. Only a stone throw away from the town centre and about 10 minutes walk from the train station. Perfect location and perfect accommodation. Definitely worth a stay if visiting York.

“A cozy and well-equipped apartment in a central and convenient location”
We really enjoyed our stay in this unique apartment in York. It’s located close to the heart of the city. The place has a lot of charm, as it used to be an ice cream factory, and the owner, Mike, has turned it into a cozy and functional space. Mike also lives in the apartment, which makes communication easy. The apartment has a well-equipped kitchen, perfect if you prefer to cook your own meals instead of eating out every day. There’s also a small fridge and a kettle in the room, which are very handy for keeping drinks cold or making tea or coffee. Altogether, it’s a very practical and pleasant place to stay.

I really liked the fact that although the property is near the centre, it's far enough away so that you don't hear too much noise.
