Star Apartment York City Centre - Self Check-in

The self check-in was easy and we were able to unload the car outside the apartment (after 5.30pm). It’s in a great location and has good facilities with the added bonus of two nice bathrooms. The kitchen was good and it was very quiet at night.

TV- we couldn’t get any ‘free to air’ (operator error?) and the internet was a bit unreliable. Having no windows to open made the apartment very warm as the arvo sun pours in. The lounge furniture was not very comfortable.

The location was fabulous to all types of shops and sight seeing. Everything was cozy, comfortable and very clean. The appliances were easy to use and everything easy to find.

We had trouble connecting the main TV to neflix and the AC units made a weird noise. This was bothersome to our daughter but not the fault of the property or anything they could have done better. The manager was quick to respond with any queries wich we appreciated hugely.

Location: central, but still quiet. Modern interior. Very good furniture. Kitchen is well equipped, includes dishwasher and washing machine. Heating system works well overall, but sometimes needs a manual reset using the button underneath the radiators.

Huge issue is the ventilation system. I would give that place 10/10 otherwise, but this alone brings it down to a -2, if not worse. If you go there, take a proper CO₂ / oxygen monitor (not just a smoke alarm) and actually track the air quality. The issue is this: it’s a new building that seems to follow a strange ventilation standard where air is mostly recirculated inside, with little to no fresh air intake. Even with the fans running, the air feels completely stale. windows are fully sealed, so you can’t open anything. There is effectively zero air coming in, or at least that’s how it feels in practice. What we ended up doing was using cloths to manually push air through the space: first from the entrance into the main hall, then from the main hall into the side hallway, and then from that hallway into the flat itself. It’s basically behind 3 “airlocks”. Takes about 20 minutes in the evening, but at least you wake up with less of a headache if you’re sensitive to air quality.

Great location, apartment was clean and spacious. Added bonus of two bathrooms and a lift! Owner was very quick to respond to my message. Have already recommended to friends and we are hoping to rebook for next year.

Todo está perfectamente decorado. El equipamiento del departamento es super completo. Tiene 2 baños completos. Impecable.

The host Nick was always quick to reply to messages. Really went above and beyond to help us with any query. He let us know when the apartment was ready and as we arrived by train let us drop the luggage off on arrival…and on check out due to train times let us stay on an extra hour which was very much appreciated. Stay in York every new year and also come randomly for a break. We love this area to stay in as it’s so near to everything and so quiet. Booked again here for this New Year too. Apartment was light…airy…spacious and warm…it had everything you needed…two bathrooms…easy to use heating and air con. Games…books…films. Take away menus and information pamphlets on things to do in York. Fantastic cooking facilities…lots of crockery and cooking utensils. Huge fridge and freezer. Comfy seating…Lovely view onto Goodramgate. Loved the “star” touches in the apartment fantastic. Such attention to detail. The decor was visually appealing too from the stunning living room curtains and wallpaper to the lighting. Plenty of toilet roll provided for our 4 day stay first stay in York we’ve not needed to buy any. The lift up to the room is a huge bonus as I’ve had a hip replacement and stairs are not the best for me yet. Great spot for eateries…shops…pubs. A savers just next door and a Tesco express too. Having a great host too who was so helpful really made our stay. Thank you once again Nick.

Very clean and spacious. Two bathrooms, really nice bedroom and living rooms. Kitchen modern and fully equipped. Perfect location in the centre of York.

The apartment was modern, clean, and in a fantastic location. Everything was in walking distance, right in the middle of everything going on. Nick was a great host and checked in via message to see that I was enjoying my stay. Overall an excellent weekend, I’ve already recommended the apartment to friends and I look forward to visiting again soon.
