Pretty and pocket-sized, this studio apartment is the perfect base for a couple to rest their feet during a stay in York. Although it's an all-in-one living area, the space doesn't feel cramped. Between the cosy bed, fuzzy armchairs in the window and the bar-style table, you'll have options to rest your feet. We love the modern kitchen – it has everything you'll need to rustle up home-cooked dinners – and the bathroom is sleek and stylish with a lavish rainfall shower that feels like heaven after a long day. Most of all, we adore the location. Just a five-minute walk away are the Gothic spires of York Minster, while the historic city centre and the famous Shambles Market are reachable in ten. Restaurants, cafes, gastropubs and old-world taverns are all a stone's throw away. Whether you're a history buff, culture vulture or simply keen on exploring, you've got plenty of options to tickle your fancy.
