Fantastic!
Perfect location, great amenities, beautiful historic property. Comfy beds, well-appointed kitchen, cozy living room. This was a Christmas we will never forget,
We absolutely loved staying in this authentic period yet modern apartment. So well situated to wander the old city with everything close by. Great room was beautiful and large. Bedrooms were situated at the back of the place and so very quiet. We also loved the restaurant and bar recommendations and would not hesitate to stay here again. Love love loved it!!!!

Perfect place to stay and explore York
I’ve stayed in many vacation rentals in the US, Canada, UK and EU, and this is my favorite. My husband and I were visiting from Texas, his sons came down from New Castle. This beautiful home had everything we needed. Kitchen is well appointed, washer works very well, and living area has plenty of space to relax and catch up. We will definitely consider staying here again when we return to York.

Great Place in a Great Location
It was a beautiful and comfortable home which was in a great location, allowing us to be able to walk around and enjoy all the city has to offer. Just be prepared to climb two flights of stairs to get into the house. We would pick this home again, which is apparently beautifully decorated at Christmas!

Stay at Micklegate Residence
Very good location. Some street noise at night on the weekend, but with the bedrooms in the back we were not disturbed. Steep stairs and no elevator, so not good for infirm folks, especially with heavy bags. The interior architecture and quality of the renovation was very high. We were 2 couples in our 70’s and it worked very well. We appreciated the “welcome” package! And when we asked for a coffee maker to replace the one that was leaking, they brought it right away. Oh yes, and the furniture and beds were very comfy.

Wonderful
Beautiful apartment in a fabulous location. Walking distance to all the main sites. Parking was very easy in nunnerery lane car park which was just a few minutes walk away. Very quiet bedrooms despite being in a lively location. Everything about the booking process was easy and great comminication. One small suggestion would be to provide a non slip bath mat for the bath. My 80 year old mum struggled to get out because there was no grab handle. Thats not a complaint just a suggestion. The apartment facilities were great and provided everything you need. Will definately be back. Have rented properties in many different locations throughout the world and this ranks amongst one of the nicest.

Spacious apartment in brilliant location.
An interesting spacious apartment in an excellent location. We enjoyed the ambiance of the conserved building but with the comfort levels of modern facilities. The location could not have been more convenient for access to the railway station, parking, the river, the walled ramparts and all the city attractions. Meiklegate offers some great restaurants within a few minutes walk and there is a handy supermarket on the doorstep. We appreciated the effective central heating system since we were there during a cold spell. We would certainly stay here again.

An excellent accommodation
We had a lovely 6-day stay in this very comfortable and picturesque apartment with a perfect location. Communication with the booking agent was pleasant and efficient, their service was very friendly, helpful and professional. Hopefully we’ll have another York visit at some point - we’d be happy to stay in the Micklegate Residence again.
