The property is located close to many things such as only being less than a 10min walk from the train station and it is only a short scenic walk into the city centre which is so ideal.
The property is cute and cosy, the decor is stunning and is perfect for couples!
We had no issues at all during our stay so nothing to complain about.

Thank you Mr & Mrs James & Carol Stewart

The apartment was perfectly located in the centre of York, making it an ideal base throughout the stay. The interior design is fresh and stylish, and the bed was really comfortable. The apartment was cosy and great for a date.

Beautifully decorated apartment, 5 mins from railway station and a short walk into York Centre. Second time we stayed here. Immaculately clean, we felt very safe and secure. Perfect for a long weekend or even a week.
Only problem we had was that the plates were in a high cupboard - not a problem if you’re taller than me 🤣🤣

The property had almost everything you need. The kitchen is well stocked with teabags and a coffee maker, Toaster, fridge and a washing machine. Is a 3 minute walk from the station. And close enough to the city centre that you can walk everywhere.
Although a separate business, the Falcon Tap bar behind the rooms is a nice place for a nightcap, serving real ales and keg beers from Turning Point brewery.
The TV was almost impossible. It was extremely slow to respond to commands. The instructions in the welcome folder didn't work. We had to phone a friend to find out how to get live TV channels. I think it's because it is purely internet TV and it didn't help that I think the batteries in the remote were low.
Only a tiny bar of soap provided in the bathroom. So make sure you have your own shampoo etc.

It had a fully equipped kitchen, The shower was lovely and you could adjust the heating as needed. The location was great and access to the property was easy.
it said there was a dishwasher but that was replaced with a washing machine. When the washer was on the whole apartment shook and it moved out of the kitchen unit. There were patches of paint missing on doors and splatters on walls that were quite noticeable throughout the apartment. The bathroom is very small and run down too.

This accommodation was Exceptional!
- I loved that it was an apartment and had a full kitchen and washer and dryer
- The bed and pillows were very comfortable
- 10min walk to the main city centre
- Nice shower pressure
- Staff were nice and let me leave an hour later than normal check out
- I loved the decor and please tell me where you got the gorgeous blue lamp shade from! I must buy them 😊
- It was noisy next door for most of the night
- The heating unit was a bit fussy, i found it either too hot or not warm enough

Excellent location close to train station and close to city center.
Only minor thing was finding it as it was tucked away, instructions said grey building and it wasnt, just grey doors.
Absolutely nothing else, was excellent.

Everything. Really easy to find. Lovely accommodation, clean, lovely decor and very comfortable.
Only improvements would be better equipped in the kitchen. There was only one plate in our appartment which seems odd. The rooms are also exceptionally hot, even though it’s winter, we had to turn the heating off all weekend and it was still boiling and windows don’t open for enough ventilation.

No real quibbles - you can hear the upstairs appartment a bit but nothing too terrible!

I wish I could give this accommodation a better score. However the lack of sleep ...as I write this at 05:23hrs does not allow me. If I was in a hotel, or accommodation where I could be moved I would have requested this 3 days ago. Apartment 5, is on the ground floor. It is a beautiful ,well appointed, fantastically located Apartment. However, without a decent night's sleep over 3 night's, all its positive attributes are negated. We have upstairs neighbours. I cant decide if the building is not built to include sound proofing or they are just particularly noisy and inconsiderate 🤔 As a couple who are in our 50s we like to get to bed around 10pm after a busy day being a tourist (having travelled from the North of Scotland). We have not been able to sleep till after 1pm each night, and even then sleep is broken, (there have been 3 nights) due to spinning washing machines at 11pm, people wearing "clogs", lots of banging and clattering. Vocal sexual activity late and early morning (yes, I know its there holiday too 🙄!) Finally a noise continually through the night that can only be described as a phone vibrating on a bedside table every 15 mins or so). We have paid just under £500, and had it been a goods or service I would have returned it for being faulty and asked some sort of refund! So think carefully, the accommodation itself is so nice, everything you could ever need.....as long as its not sleep.....

Great location, comfortable clean apartment, comfy bed.
No toiletries in the bathroom and not enough coffee/milk for our needs even though we only stayed one night, 4pm check in is a bit late.

It was central, very clean and in the main well equipped.
Due to the weather there was huge puddles outside the doors and no doormat so it was very slippy on the floors.
We also were provided with a little bag with tea and coffee and biscuits and milk which was great but no shampoo or body wash which meant we had to go back into town to get some.

We had a wonderful time staying at the falcon in york, its not far away from the centre and a 5 minute walk from the station. Worth every penny if you’re looking for a cosy stay over the weekend in york!
There was nothing bad about the property, the only thing i wish they’d have provided us was detol spray and kitchen roll, would have made it alot easier when cleaning up in the kitchen after cooking

Great little apartment, absolutely immaculate! It’s in a great location with a car park just down the road.
We couldn’t get the heating to work so it was very cold but it didn’t spoil our stay.
7.0 / 10.0
Very well appointed, stylish, comfortable furnishing. Very clean.
We could not get the heating to work despite reading and following the instructions in the booklet. Thankfully, the days we stayed were comparatively mild.
Neither could we get the tv to work. All the settings needed to be input, and it was not worth the time and trouble to do this, given our short stay.
We got the WiFi connected to a phone eventually, but the WiFi code did not seem to marry up with one in the booklet- it seemed to relate to the adjacent apartment.
The above marred our enjoyment of our short stay in what was otherwise a very impressive and well located apartment, in a quiet area close to the historic city core.

Room was nicely decorated. Very central location. Comfy bed and clean bathroom. Lots of communication from the company.
Check in time of 4pm and check out time of 10am was cheeky and definitely not as convenient as the norm, however they did allow a later check out time when asked. It was very noisy outside at night but that's to be expected in such a central location.

Location was excellent, room was quiet, clean, modern and had everything you would need for a comfortable stay. Great communication from the host on the run up to arrival with clear instructions on how to get the keys etc. Would definitely book to stay here again.
If I had to nit pick an find something it would be that the directions on how to get to the property was a tiny bit unclear. We ended up at the Falcon pub at the back of the property and a lot of guests do this as thats what the owner said. He kindly opened the back door and let us through.

Great little apartment with a small but well equipped kitchen plus a washer/dryer, highly recommend.
No complaints but storage space was tight.

Good facilities - everything you need in the kitchen (except maybe a scourer) . Comfortable bed. Great shower ( plenty of hot water). Good location close to the river, centre, historic sites, pubs and restaurant in Micklegate and the various city supermarkets.
It would have been fine except for the local builders next door that started up each morning (Fri to Tues, except Sunday) at 7:15. Drilling holes in concrete, banging , hammering, etc: we could even hear their conversations quite clearly whilst lying in bed . Not their fault though - just doing their job but the flat has zero noise insulation - especially the outshot windows at the end ( which seems to be just a wooden frame with flashing round it): the double glazing in the property is very poor in that respect (and we had the windows closed). Even on Sunday some engine noise in the street ( a lorry with its engine revving) at 7am was so noisy it woke us up - and our flat was a block back from the road ! Then there is the pub next door - the pub noise what not any problem, but up until 11 they empty their bottles into a big trash thing - that is loud ! Other slight niggles was the wifi was a bit poor, the instructions we were given were for the neighbouring flat (No. 7) which was only 1 or two bars most of the time, but the flat itself clearly had its own very strong wifi that we could not log into and they would not give us a password for after contacting them ( the router was under the telly which was connected by a network cable). Lastly, TV was set was so low it was difficult to watch from the bed ,as the couch at the base of the bed blocked it a bit ( for viewing and the remote which you had to raise above your head to get any response!) - slightly impractical - would have been better to have the TV mounted on the wall. The TV did not seem to be tuned to any UK TV channels (no aerial or Freeview) except LG ones ( I had to sign in to iPLayer and Netflix to get anything - and remember to remove them after.....)

It was within walking distance of sights and shops and well equipped for our stay .
There was a constant vibrating noise coming from the flat above us . It was like a phone constantly going off and vibrating on the wooden floor which made sleeping pretty broken
