The property is ancient, full of quirky character, comfortable with everything you need. The bed is comfy, the location is fantastic for central York and you can see and hear the bells of York Minster from the bed

Using the shower was a bit awkward as we did not want to get water on the floor but the bath was lovely

It was one of the coolest places we have ever stayed, so old and truly an experience to remember

The shower was so difficult to figure out, we ended up having to shower with the smallest trickle of water which wasn’t fun.

In addition to the location and quirkiness that every review must mention, I would say the bed and pillows were very comfortable; the four-poster bed at least

The fan didn’t work, and it was a hot couple of days

The location is beyond excellent. The apartment is nice, quirky and clean. They are generous with toiletries and kitchen stuff. Ian was very responsive through messages.

We were in the Old Gallery apartment (the bigger one with 70s decor). There are two major issues, and I fear that both had to do with building two apartments in the space of one: 1. If there are hosts in the other apartment, get ready to become familiar with them. The walls are paper thin. Upstairs in particular you can hear a paper being folded in the other apartment. 2. The stairs to go to the upstairs part of the Old Gallery apartment are steep and, frankly, a bit dangerous. It is basically like climbing a ladder. People with mild mobility problems or of a certain age cannot use them. This should be clearly stated.
