The Hideaway At The Lawrence Apartments

The apartment was great! Clean, bright, comfortable, and fast wi-fi, with a fully stocked kitchen.

All three rooms (kitchen, bathroom, bedroom) are located through different doors from the entry hall, which was not an issue at all itself. However, the kitchen and bedroom doors were spring-loaded and there was no way to prop them open, and the kitchen door very noisy. So it was not easy to move between the two rooms, and also benefit from the windows/light of the rooms together. But this was really a minor issue and I would definitely stay again!

A very comfortable, modern, and peaceful stay (even despite the proximity to the main road). This was a perfect location for me as I work this side of York; but I also walked to and from the train station which is easily done. Check-in was very straight forward and the building felt very secure. Lovely big bath towels which were always warm. I loved the velux window in the kitchen which is controlled by a keypad on the wall. A perfectly spacious apartment for solo traveler or couple.

It wasn't obvious the kitchen tap was a modern / hot water tap and I wasted time looking for a classic kettle. For the price and modernity, I expected a dishwasher. Although the apartment on the whole was very clean, there were a lot of cobwebs in the bathroom which I vacuumed myself (p.s. but also, I was glad I had access to the vacuum for my own peace of mind). I was provided with very minimal hand soap in the bathroom and needed to substitute for the kitchen hand soap after only a couple of nights. Also, the stairs leading to the apartment are plentiful! (I believe I counted around 45) and steep, which is not ideal when lugging bags / suitcases, but to the house-keeping's credit, were always very clean, and freshly vacuumed.
