A stunning example of a 2 bedroom property with lovely views of York Minster.

Excellent pre-Christmas stay!

The apartment is of a high standard and ideally located within 10 minutes walk of the main city centre. It had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Would definitely book again.

Good flat in good location for access to Yorks visitor attractions. Stays York were excellent in making arrangements for the rental.

A very clean and comfortable flat with a view of the Minster. Our only problem was finding it in the first place, as we walked around the building in the pouring rain looking for flat 12, and seeing nothing between 11 and 18 ! New guests please find Flat 5 and then go towards the left into the far corner of the building where you come upon an unmarked staircase.

Our second visit to this comfortable well located apartment with off road parking. We enjoyed dining while viewing the towers of the Minster and occasional sightings of a Peregrine.
Beds and furniture is comfortable and temperature satisfactory. The area is quite despite it being on a local walking route.
The flat could do with an airer for drying towels as the towel rail is small and in hot weather you would not want it on. Some more plates and bowls would also be helpful.
We have some issue with the cost of holiday accommodation in the UK and this makes us think harder about where we stay.

Right in the centre, 4 mins walk to the centre and car parked up safely. Service spot on and house perfect!

Make sure you put the parking permit in the car, we were fine as displayed... But cars issued parking tickets in the car park and the parking warden walks the streets daily.

We will be back.

P.s loved the Christmas Devs, thankyou!

Within a stone's throw of the city walls and with the audible peel of the Minster's bells, this apartment is just perfect for anyone wanting to base themselves in the city. It was very clean, very comfortable and very well equipped.

The only downside was the initial smell of damp in the bathroom - the extractor fan had been turned off and the bathroom door closed when we arrived, meanign there had been no air circulating. The bathroom itself was exceptionally clean but does need airing or the extractor fan on after a shower.

The apartment is very comfortable and provides everything one needs for a pleasant stay. It is close to the city yet in a quiet place.
The staff of Stays York is very nice and friendly and helpful.
It was a great vacation!

This is my 2nd stay at this beautifully furnished apartment. I especially love the super comfortable pillows and bed. High quality furniture and a lovely cosy feel throughout the apartment. I look forward to returning next time I'm in York.

What a great find! Very comfortable spacious apartment only minutes from the centre of York. Can see the Minster from the doors in the kitchen. Small shop just across the road for essentials. The apartment was very nice to return to after a day walking around York. Very comfortable big beds in both rooms, although we only used one. Small welcome pack of tea, coffee and biscuits. Real bonus having a designated parking space too (one of the reasons we booked it). It's a bit tricky to find the entrance to the car park, but if you follow the instructions given by York Stays, they make it a bit easier. Not the cheapest place to stay in York but you get what you pay for. Would definitely recommend and return here.

A delightful flat with a partial view of the Minster. Excellent lighting, both natural and electric. Beds were very comfortable. Kitchen functional, washer dryer too. If we are fortunate enough to return to York, we would stay here again.

Would highly recommend this apartment. Clean, modern, comfortable and lovely and warm in December. Beds very comfortable and kitchen well equipped with modern appliances. In a great location. Just a five minute walk to the shops/restaurants. Views of York minster from the living area. Parking on site a massive plus.

Having visited York many times over the years, 12 St John's Mews is certainly one of the best self catering accommodation we have stayed in. Stays York manage several properties in this development and we think this is possibly the best. The apartment is very light, tastefully decorated and furnished. It is on the first floor, with views of the Minster from the living/dining/kitchen and one of the bedrooms. The second bedroom is also very light with double aspect windows + juliet balcony. There is also a juliet balcony in the kitchen area. There is only one bathroom (only a shower) between both bedrooms. The parking bay for this apartment is 8. The car park is supposed to be accessed with a key fob to lower the bollard, but on arrival the bollard had not been working for some time (according to a resident), so the fob isn't needed. The apartment is keyless with a digital entry system on the door.
We had actually booked the previous 7 days with Booking.com and loved it so much, we extended our stay by three nights directly with Stays York.
The only problem we had was the hob which is an induction one, but the saucepans provided weren't suitable.

Spent five nights in this wonderful flat which was just a few mins walk from the City Wall in a quiet residential area. Secure and safe entry system. Very comfortable beds and pillows, lovely big comfortable couch to curl up on. Didn't make meals as such but seemed well equipped if you so desired. Gift food box was a lovely welcoming touch. Definitely recommend staying here.
