If visiting York's medieval city walls is high on your to-do list during a stay here, you'll find this modern home particularly handy. A recently renovated apartment, with smart furnishings and enough space for a small family (and their dog), it also happens to have a large balcony overlooking an intact section of the wall. From your vantage point, with a coffee or maybe a glass of wine in hand, you'll have an unparalleled view of the ramparts, elevated walkway and green space beneath it. This home is super convenient for the city centre and all its shops and restaurants too and for all the historic tourist spots. It's set up to make life as easy as possible for guests, with lift access, a car parking space and a fully kitted out kitchen, so all you have to do is unpack and start enjoying this unique location.
