The Falcon - Apartment 11

The location is great as it’s only a short walk from city centre and is in a quiet street. The bathroom were really big size and clean

The apartment is advertised as having 3 large double beds but only one bed is this size. One of the other beds is queen size and the bed in third room was made up of two single beds put together. As mentioned in other reviews there are quite a lot of steps to get to the apartment and inside the apartment: we had read the reviews so we were aware of this but it should made clear in the house description as could be an issue for some people. It would be useful to have a bit more items in the kitchen like more cutlery - the house can accommodate up to 6 guests but there were only spoons for 4 people (as an example) - would also be useful to have bins in the bathrooms and a sponge in the kitchen to wash dishes / glass/ cutlery -

Size, rooms, appliances. The washer is also a dryer - this was a good surprise

Many stairs, no dishwasher

Great location and lovely flat over 2 floors

Kitchen was poorly equiped, 4 bowls for a family of six, no colander, sissors, large bowl or washing up liquid, not enough toilet rolls.

The location is very close to the station with a pleasant access pathway between the apartment blocks off Toft Green. It is close to Micklegate Bar and therefore easy access to the City Wall Trail. It's also a relatively short walk into the centre. The rear access to the charming historic Falcon Pub during opening hours was helpful, and the landlord, James, was very accommodating and knowledgeable. Having 3 double bedrooms and 2 bathrooms which suited our needs perfectly.

The access to the property was around the back of the building and not next to or through the pub The Falcon as we had rightly or wrongly assumed. There were 2 flights of steps outside to access the building itself, not great when it is raining, and further stairs inside to reach the door of the apartment. Two of the double bedrooms were accessed by another staircase. This would have been fine, but we were travelling with my 89 year old mother, which I had mentioned to the hosts. She found this very difficult and tiring. Fortunately one of the bedrooms and a bathroom was on the main floor so once inside she didn't have to exert herself further.
