Maybe it’s the grand entrance foyer and concierge that greets you upon arrival. Perhaps it’s the apartment’s floor-to-ceiling windows that command unparalleled city vistas across the waterways of York’s River Floss and hills beyond. Or it could be the luxurious bedrooms that look straight out of a boutique hotel with statement wallpaper, deep, plush beds, and snow-white linens. Either way, there’s a bona fide wow factor that greets you the moment you set foot inside this luxurious apartment complex. A home designed for easy socialising, it’s an excellent choice for a group of friends coming together. Flex your culinary skills in the sleek, modern kitchen while your ensemble gathers at the island for a few pre-dinner drinks – the unlimited Amazon music available to guests will set the ambience. Or curl up on the plush sofa with a cuppa for a bird’s eye view of river life below - and should you ever tire of that, there’s Netflix at the ready too. When this historic city finally comes calling, you won’t have far to go. Nestled within the city’s medieval walls, all the city’s must-sees are within easy walking distance. And there’s no finer place to start than at York... Castle, just a six-minute hop, skip, and a jump over the Floss River.
