The Garden Square - Unique luxury apartment in historic garden square - ideal for 2 people

It was a unique experience to stay in a beautiful residential property with the hosts living above you. We had everything you needed like a washing machine, cutlery and the most generous welcome pack of our whole trip. We were able to get a permit to park the car in the street. The host was friendly and generous but so were others that we met eating and moving about the area. We loved eating at our window and looking out at beautiful gardens. We were close to a bus stop but we mostly walked to where we wanted to go or we used the car. All the little extras like tissues made this stay a memorable one for us. We felt like we were guests in a family home.

Very clean, close to the city and excellent quality

The price was very high

It is a basement apartment but plenty of light. A bit rabbit warren like but well appointed and furnished.

This was one of the nicest properties I’ve stayed in - possibly due to the attention to detail. When we opened the door the first thing that hit us was the ‘clean’ smell, and the whole place was immaculate. The space is used beautifully - from the tiny kitchen to the cleverly hidden fridge freezer. The bathroom was beautiful, and the host went above and beyond with provisions - a beautiful fresh, crusty loaf, with butter, eggs, milk, every kind of jam you can think of, fresh orange juice, chocolate biscuits, tea, coffee, yoghurt, cereal, granola… the list was endless. I stayed here with my sister, and found the sofa bed to be very comfortable. It really was a lovely stay. I’d recommend it for a girlie break, like we had, or a romantic hideaway for couples, or just a great base to explore York. We would definitely stay here again - absolutely lovely property. Excellent communication from Eleanor. Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality.

Nothing. Literally nothing. The only issue I could envisage is that this is a basement flat, so worth noting if you have mobility issues as there are a few steps down to the door. No problem if you’re able bodied though.
