If you’re staying in York, seeing the spires of the 13th-century York Minster Cathedral from your window is akin to an Eiffel Tower view in Paris. The largest of its kind in Northern Europe, this magnificent structure is well worth a visit – just a ten-minute walk from this duplex apartment. Despite such historic surroundings, the interiors of this home are tastefully modern. As you enter through the hall, the first thing you’ll notice is a full-wall mural showing you a printed map of the entire city. After you’ve found your bearings, head onwards to the bright lounge. There’s a certain Scandi vibe created by the furnishings and colour scheme – we particularly love the yellow rug, plus matching throws and cushions. The elegant, modern armchairs make for an inviting perch where you can enjoy a proper Yorkshire brew on arrival (you might even find this in the welcome hamper from your host). But on a sunny day, you might want to take your tea out to your private balcony. Open up the French doors from the lounge, where the playful yellow colour scheme continues with a cute metal dining set – anyone for a slice of cake too?

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. Here, cobblestone streets lead to contemporary art galleries, and wattle and daub houses hold trendy craft beer bars.
