The Space:

A three-bedroom apartment sleeping up to eight, set on Church Street in the centre of York's historic city. The living, dining, and kitchen areas sit within an open layout, making it a practical and comfortable base for groups and families.

The apartment includes two bathrooms, one of which features a bathtub. Three bedrooms accommodate up to eight guests across the space.



The Neighborhood:

The Kings Apartments sit in one of York's most central positions, within easy walking distance of the city's most visited landmarks and quieter corners alike.

York Minster, the second largest Gothic cathedral in Northern Europe, is moments away. The Shambles, York's most photographed medieval street with its timber-framed overhanging buildings, is well known to Harry Potter fans and history enthusiasts alike. Clifford's Tower, the largest surviving remnant of York Castle, and the York City Walls, nearly two miles of walkable historic fortification, are both close by.



For those interested in the city's deeper history, the Jorvik Viking Centre, York Castle Museum, Yorkshire Museum, and York Art Gallery are all within reach. The York Dungeon and a range of ghost tours offer a look at the city's darker past, while York's Chocolate Story traces a different kind of local heritage.



The River Ouse is a short walk away, with City Cruises running boat tours along the water. York's markets, including the Shambles Market, SPARK York, and the Farmers Market, provide a grounded look at everyday city life. In late November through December, the York St Nicholas Fair brings over 100 alpine-style chalets to the city centre, making it one of the UK's most well-regarded Christmas markets.



Pubs, cafes, and restaurants line the surrounding streets. After a day of exploring, there is no shortage of places to eat, drink, or simply sit.
