About this property

York city centre apartment, North Yorkshire, England

A modern, home from home apartment, situated within York’s city walls.
The apartment is on the first floor of a three-storey block of six flats in total, sharing a secure car park.
A coded gateway, located under the archway entrance, ensures security for the small complex.
Set within a small, neatly maintained and peaceful, communal garden, the apartment comprises an entrance hall, sitting room, breakfast kitchen, twin bedroom, master bedroom and bathroom.
In the sitting room are two large leather sofas, one of which converts into a comfortable double bed, a flat widescreen television with digital channels and access to Netflix, and a Blu-Ray DVD player. A selection of DVDs, games and many books about York - its history and attractions - are all provided, as is broadband internet access. Wifi is available throughout.
The fully-fitted kitchen contains everything you need to feel at home including a dishwasher, fridge freezer, washwe/dryer, microwave, cafetiere and toaster.
There are electric heaters in each room and an electric immersion tank for hot water.
All York’s museums (Railway, Castle, Yorkshire and Chocolate - York’s Sweet History) are a short stroll away, as are two cinemas, both theatres and the Barbican concert venue. York Racecourse is also within walking distance.
For motorists, Queens Court provides a secure, allocated parking space. It is equally convenient for the railway station and Park & Ride bus stops.

*Since Covid, a hand sanitiser unit has been installed inside the front door of the building in which our apartment is located. It makes sense to use this each time you enter, regardless of any current virus warnings.

Staying at 4 Queen's Court, Fetter Lane, York

We had 3 lovely days in central York and this flat is certainly extremely convenient for sightseeing - only 15 mins walk to the Minster and other famous buildings. The flat was immaculate, airy, spacious and well-equipped and in a pleasant, quiet area. Before our visit, our host, Debbie, had emailed very useful information about the flat, city and restaurants and we can certainly recommend dining at Mumbai Lounge and Enoteca by L'Uva. We hope to return one day. (The only negative point (which has nothing to do with the flat) was the very strong smell of cigarette smoke in the entrance lobby.)

Clean comfortable flat in the city centre

When I stay in a hotel or rental accommodation, the most important two things to me are 1) comfortable bed, and 2) that everything should be clean. This flat scores full marks in both areas. The bed was more comfortable than mine at home. The flat is situtated in a good area, away from the main tourist/nightlife hotspots and close to amentities like restaurants, supermarkets and cafes. It’s very close to the River Ouse and the paths on both sides of the river which are really popular for walks. It’s not a large flat but it’s big enough, certainly if you have younger kids. The kitchen is well equipped and has a table which can double as a desk if you need to work. The flat is nicely decorated and feels homely. No problem with parking, even with a large estate car, and it’s secured by a gate with electronic access. You need a code and two keys to get into the flat so it feels safe too, but that shouldn’t be a problem in York. The shower is part of the bath and it has plenty of heat and power. Getting out might be tricky if you are older or have restricted movement. The only negatives were some neighbour noise, mainly from upstairs footsteps, and sofas which are a bit ‘tired’. The noise wasn’t antisocial as such, no loud music or shouting, and it was not a problems late at night or early morning. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay, communication was excellent and helpful and the instructions were comprehensive and clear.

The perfect place x

The apartment was excellent vaue, clean comfortable and warm. Lots of local information and even a nice stash of board games and dvds too. Great communication from the property owner. The location was absolutely brilliant with the added bonus of being in a secure courtyard with its own parking space. A ten minute walk to the city centre made this an ideal choice for our city break and if we decide to retur to York we would definitely book the apartment again. I cannot recommend this enough. X

Ideal 2 bed apartment in a great location

Lovely clean, comfortable, warm and well maintained apartment close to the centre of York, ideal for our needs visiting the Christmas Market this weekend. Perfect for myself with limited mobility being able to have secure onsite car parking. Flat is on the first floor for anyone with similar issues. Very quiet area, no disturbances but close to lots of lovely places to eat out. Debbie the host, is easily contactable and provided all relevant information, great communication. Would definitely go back.

Nice flat in a Fabulous location

Well appointed flat and the host was really helpful with suggestions of where to eat etc as well as clear directions to help us find the place. The location was amazing being inside the city walls only a few minutes walk to all the attractions. Being a first floor flat, there's stairs (no lift but we knew that) up to the entrance. One masdive matter bedroom and one small twin room. There were four adults in our group and it was a good size for us. The bathroom is internal and can take some time to clear with the wee fan in the ceiling going most of the time after showers or baths. The living room is a reasonable size and can seat 6. It was really hot when we there so we were glad of the fan provided. The kitchen had a table that could expand our contact to fit the purpose. We used this for meals and Games. The kitchen has everything you could want in it. My sons only negative was that the wifi started out ok but by the end of three days it had slowed down a lot. Over all this was a great flat in a good location and we really enjoyed our stay

Excellent location

Lovely place to stay, the location is fab meaning that once we arrived, we didn't need to move the car for the duration of our stay. A short walk over the bridge and you're in the city centre. The apartment was very well equipped and everywhere was clean. WiFi worked well but only terrestrial TV as Netflix etc wouldn't load on the TV. Not a huge problem for us as we didn't travel across the county to watch telly!

Outstanding experience! 5+ stars!

Highly recommend! This is the best experience we have had with VRBO. The property was very well decorated (including holiday decorations), furnished (comfortable beds and sofas, even end tables and kitchen table), outfitted (fully equipped kitchen) and located. Great value. Debbie could not have been more communicative, organized, clear, and accomodating. The information about the area was as good as any concierge. We wish we had spent more time.
