A recently converted landmark building within two minutes' walk of York Minster, the period exterior of this place doesn't give away the sleek, modern apartment inside. Offering all the comforts of home, you'll feel like a local in no time. With everything so new it's practically sparkling, you'll have a sociable, open-plan living space with a comfy sofa and a smart dining table, along with a high-spec contemporary kitchen area with all the kit you'll need to cook at home. Both bedrooms are stylish and each has a dedicated bathroom so there won't be any need to queue for the shower in the morning. Little luxuries include welcome treats, underfloor heating in the bathrooms and a funky remote control backlight behind the TV – to set the mood for the evening. The location couldn't be better either, with a walk of fewer than ten minutes into the city centre.

Home truths:
*There's an allocated, gated parking space at the rear of the building but beware, there is a nut tree by the parking spot, so park at your own risk
*You'll be on the second floor but there's a lift
*It's not suitable for infants under two
*You'll have laptop-friendly workspace here
*There's a shared entrance to reach the apartment
*It's worth noting that the mattresses here are a little uneven, so not everyone might find them comfortable
