Now that's what we call a view. Looking directly onto the west front of York Minster, this apartment has one of the best outlooks in the city – and it's entirely yours to enjoy. View aside (if that's even possible), the rest of the apartment is a bright and charming place to relax. The simple pared-back style means that the scenery is front and centre, but sleek extras like the rainfall showers, Bluetooth speakers and a Nespresso machine are icing on the cake. It's comfortable and has plenty of space to hang out when you're not exploring. Speaking of, you're truly in the centre of York here. Not only is York Minster so close you can almost touch it, but the other historic areas are also a short stroll away. Shop for fresh produce, quirky crafts and vintage clothes in Shambles Market – a six-minute walk away – or grab a pint and some tasty pub grub at the local taverns. Restaurants, cafes, museums – you name it, you can walk to it, so there's no doubt that this apartment is perfectly placed for adventures.
