Watch life go by along York's medieval city walls from the private balcony that wraps the entire length of this bright, modern apartment. Dining alfresco on sunny evenings, as dusk settles over the historic rooftops in the distance, is a rare treat for a home this centrally located. Inside, expect pristine interiors and all the home comforts you could need. We’re particularly impressed with the master bedroom with views over the city, complete with a king-size bed donned with crisp, snow-white linens. And thanks to its unique position away from traffic noise, you’ll be sure to bank a peaceful night’s sleep here. When it’s time to set off exploring, it’s hard to imagine a better location. You’re just a short walk from the city’s historical hotspots, including York Minister (sixteen minutes on foot) and the vibrant Shambles Market (ten minutes on foot). When thought’s turn to food, lose yourself in the labyrinth of streets wall-to-wall with bustling restaurants and traditional pubs. And no visit to York would be complete without a visit to the institution that is Betty’s Café Tea Rooms (just fourteen minutes on foot) for a fat rascal scone and a side portion of Yorkshire nostalgia.
