A newly furnished 2 bedroom apartment just minutes from York city centre. The property benefits from a fantastic external balcony overlooking the city walls. Perfect for exploring York!

This is a light, naturally warm modern apartment in a very convenient area for accessing the city centre. The large balcony is a big plus although there is some road noise despite the City Wall being in between the flat and the main road. The flat is well equipped and the bed very comfortable.

The parking is very convenient and fairly secure. Security for the flat itself is good with a security gate on the main access.

The only major problem for us was the wi fi speed. There is no fibre to the block and there were constant drop outs when trying to stream TV. Stays tried to help but there is no real solution. This was disappointing for a six week stay and would be impossible for someone trying to seriously work from home.

This is our first stay at 28 City Walls, a large, well equipped flat. Great location. Negatives: fridge freezer needed defrosting and hand rail is ESSENTIAL in the shower. Non slip shower mat provided was inadequate. Have booked again for next year and will continue to do so if the price remains affordable.

The room is spacious and the kitchen is plentiful. But the Internet is very slow, and it is unsolvable.

Advertised as sleeps 4 which it does but fourth bed not full size and room very small when beds as twins.
Location and parking excellent. Balcony excellent too. Great for walking into York.

We highly recommend this apartment. It's super convenient for accessing all the tourist spots (basically half a mile from everything and obviously super close to the wall). The flat was clean, spacious and well appointed. The balcony was enormous! When we return to York in the future this will definitely be our first choice.

Lovely stay at city walls apartment. Excellent location 5-10minutes walk into the centre with many shops and restaurants even closer than this. Apartment itself was comfortable. It was very hot while we stayed, one fan provided which was great a further for second bedroom would have been helpful. Well equipped although no hoover/long handle brush made it difficult to clean up during stay. (Roller brush did not work).
Our main issue was the rather odd smell of the apartment. On opening door hit with a smokey/musty smell (not cigarettes) which was present throughout and remained, although lessened, over our 6 days. While
alone it would not deter us from staying again, it was annoying and something I highlight so can perhaps be addressed. Overall recommend.
