The wraparound balcony affording views of the medieval city walls is taking all the limelight at this modern, bright apartment perched right in the heart of York's bustling centre. And rightly so. A home to be enjoyed in all seasons, in summer months, swing the doors right back and take breakfast outside on the suntrap veranda as you hatch plans for the day ahead. On wintery days, curl up on the deep, sumptuous sofa with a cuppa and lose yourself to views of the distant historic rooftops. And despite its central location, our guests love how quiet this home feels, meaning you'll be sure to bank a peaceful night's sleep. But when it's time to get out adventuring, you're closer to the bustle than you think. All the historical must-sees are within walking distance, including York Minister (sixteen minutes on foot) and the vibrant Shambles Market (ten minutes on foot). And when thoughts turn to food, you'll be surprised by the delicious global fare this city offers in its bustling restaurants. Just be sure to save room for a fat rascal scone from Betty's Café Tea Rooms (just fourteen minutes on foot) – no visit to York is complete without one.

About York City Centre
One of England's most important cultural hubs since it was founded in 71 AD, the fascinating city of York offers quaint charm and modern magnificence in equal measure.
