This unit has a great view of the river and the centre of York across the way, and is just a short walk from everything you will want to see and do -- ten minutes gets you up to the Shambles, the Castle, the Picture House, or the Station, 15 to the Minster, the Museum Garden, or the Train Museum. There's a grocery store round the corner, and several good pubs nearby. Great restaurants round the corner on Mikelgate, and the less crowded Bishy Road, both just 10 minutes away on foot..
You might hear the students and hen parties out drinking at a couple of pubs across the river, but if you close the double glazing, you won't hear a peep. The building itself is quiet and clean - we barely heard anyone else moving next door or above.
The place was spotless, and cleaned regularly. Lots of maps and brochures on what to do, a very thorough instruction binder, and excellent advice from our hosts, who could be reached by text anytime with really quick response..
And thanks for the coffee, tea, and fresh cut flowers for our arrival.
