This relaxed apartment, situated a five-minute walk from the heart of York, skilfully mixes original features with modern comforts. House plants add a fresh feel to the space and the exposed brick and large grid windows add an industrial edge. Sit down on the sofa with a strong cup of Yorkshire tea and plan your city adventure – your host has provided recommendations on the chalkboard should you need some inspiration. If you fancy yourself as a bit of a chef, the kitchenette is equipped with appliances for cooking up your culinary favourites. But if you’d prefer to leave it to the professionals, you’re a ten-minute stroll from a fantastic selection of bars, restaurants and pubs.
