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, washer/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.
NB While the Coronavirus remains a worry, our cleaners will implement extra measures to make our apartment as safe as possible. These include:
*The temperatures of staff are taken and monitored every morning with a touchless
laser thermometer. Staff are checked for symptoms daily and any showing/feeling any signs of illness will not work until these have passed/they have self-isolated for the required period of time.
*New cloths used in each room so that there is no cross-contamination. These cloths are washed at 90 degrees with an antibacterial detergent at the end of every day.
*The vacuum cleaners are cleaned with antibacterial wipes between jobs.
*Every high-use item (TV remote, light switches, door handles, etc) in each property is cleaned with antibacterial spray at every visit.
*Our laundry company is one of only 5 in the UK which passes the water through an ozone generator. This process adds ozone to the washing machines and kills 99.99% of bacteria, ensuring that all clean laundry is completely bacteria free at every wash. This is the chosen method of laundry cleaning for the NHS.
*There is a hand sanitiser unit inside the front door of the building in which our apartment is located which we would ask guests to use each time they enter.

Staying at 4 Queen's Court, Fetter Lane, York
We had 3 lovely days in central York and this flat is certainly extremely convenient for sightseeing - only 15 mins walk to the Minster and other famous buildings. The flat was immaculate, airy, spacious and well-equipped and in a pleasant, quiet area. Before our visit, our host, Debbie, had emailed very useful information about the flat, city and restaurants and we can certainly recommend dining at Mumbai Lounge and Enoteca by L'Uva. We hope to return one day. (The only negative point (which has nothing to do with the flat) was the very strong smell of cigarette smoke in the entrance lobby.)

Clean, quiet and well set-up
Location was perfect for walking to any of the major attractions, yet was very quiet and calm. Probably one of the cleanest places we've been to. Very organized and responsive host. We appreciated how well it was set up for guests. Read the host's instructions carefully and you'll be fine. However, I'm glad my husband was there to help access the key to check in, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to.

Clean comfortable flat in the city centre
When I stay in a hotel or rental accommodation, the most important two things to me are 1) comfortable bed, and 2) that everything should be clean. This flat scores full marks in both areas. The bed was more comfortable than mine at home. The flat is situtated in a good area, away from the main tourist/nightlife hotspots and close to amentities like restaurants, supermarkets and cafes. It’s very close to the River Ouse and the paths on both sides of the river which are really popular for walks. It’s not a large flat but it’s big enough, certainly if you have younger kids. The kitchen is well equipped and has a table which can double as a desk if you need to work. The flat is nicely decorated and feels homely. No problem with parking, even with a large estate car, and it’s secured by a gate with electronic access. You need a code and two keys to get into the flat so it feels safe too, but that shouldn’t be a problem in York. The shower is part of the bath and it has plenty of heat and power. Getting out might be tricky if you are older or have restricted movement. The only negatives were some neighbour noise, mainly from upstairs footsteps, and sofas which are a bit ‘tired’. The noise wasn’t antisocial as such, no loud music or shouting, and it was not a problems late at night or early morning. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay, communication was excellent and helpful and the instructions were comprehensive and clear.

Perfect York city centre launchpad
My wife, our two daughters (4 & 6) and I were looking for somewhere simple, centrally located for three nights seeing local friends and the sights. Debbie’s apartment was absolutely ideal. A short walk from everything you’d want to see downtown, a short, easy drive from grocery stores (inc a Waitrose) with secure guaranteed parking. Our daughters were cosy and comfy in the twin room, my wife and I slept wonderfully on the king bed, and there’s space to pack all our stuff away. We cooked when we needed to, but there are amazing spots for breakfast (Partisan!), coffee and dinner nearby. I really can’t think of how the place could have served our needs better, just a perfect place to feel comfortable and at home while being able easily to see and experience all York/N Yorks has to offer.

The perfect place x
The apartment was excellent vaue, clean comfortable and warm. Lots of local information and even a nice stash of board games and dvds too. Great communication from the property owner. The location was absolutely brilliant with the added bonus of being in a secure courtyard with its own parking space. A ten minute walk to the city centre made this an ideal choice for our city break and if we decide to retur to York we would definitely book the apartment again. I cannot recommend this enough. X

Lovely clean, comfortable, warm and well maintained apartment close to the centre of York, ideal for our needs visiting the Christmas Market this weekend. Perfect for myself with limited mobility being able to have secure onsite car parking. Flat is on the first floor for anyone with similar issues. Very quiet area, no disturbances but close to lots of lovely places to eat out. Debbie the host, is easily contactable and provided all relevant information, great communication. Would definitely go back.

This is a wonderful apartment. Everything was spotlessly clean, updated, and modern. Felt very cozy. There is a grocery store 2 minutes away around the corner. The location is great with all the fun sights of York just a short walk away. We took a day trip to Thirsk for the James Herriot "All Creatures Great and Small" museum. I would highly recommend it.

Nice flat in a Fabulous location
Well appointed flat and the host was really helpful with suggestions of where to eat etc as well as clear directions to help us find the place. The location was amazing being inside the city walls only a few minutes walk to all the attractions. Being a first floor flat, there's stairs (no lift but we knew that) up to the entrance. One masdive matter bedroom and one small twin room. There were four adults in our group and it was a good size for us. The bathroom is internal and can take some time to clear with the wee fan in the ceiling going most of the time after showers or baths. The living room is a reasonable size and can seat 6. It was really hot when we there so we were glad of the fan provided. The kitchen had a table that could expand our contact to fit the purpose. We used this for meals and Games. The kitchen has everything you could want in it. My sons only negative was that the wifi started out ok but by the end of three days it had slowed down a lot. Over all this was a great flat in a good location and we really enjoyed our stay

Great location and flat but stale cigarette smell was overwhelming.
Flat was clean and as advertised. Great location easy to walk anywhere you wanted. However the lobby of the flat smells like some smoked a pack a day for the last several years. I assume this is outside the control of the host but I can not believe this was not mentioned on other posts. There were even signs posted stating to keep windows in stair wells open to help with cigarette smell. It was warm so we had windows open and every afternoon we had to close them because other tenants were smoking outside our window in the garden. If smoking does not bother you this is a great flat in York.

Fantastic York apartment
My wife and I stayed four nights in early June at the York apartment. The spacious apartment comes with all the amenities one needs for a comfortable stay. It’s within the city walls, so it’s a 10- to 15-minute walk to any of the city’s attractions. It also has a parking space for a car making it easy to explore sites outside of York. The owner of the property always responded quickly to our questions. We highly recommend this property to stay at while in York.
