We (my sister and I) were temporarily moved to this location (this apartment and an adjacent one) as there was a water leak in the apartment we had originally chosen (Westgate, 15 minutes away). The location was excellent, however compared to the original apartment this one was much smaller. It is meant for a couple, but it feels a bit claustrophobic and would be suitable for one person. The apartment was tastefully decorated and is well equipped, however, the curtains in one window were hanging off and the window was broken - on the first floor this may not be an issue, however it felt unsafe, especially at night. The towel rail in the bathroom could not be turned off, therefore the apartment was very hot (in July) - I slept with a provided fan on all night, but even this was not sufficient to allow comfortable sleep. We were given an hours notice to vacate the apartment as it was needed for the next guests coming in - we happened to be in the apartment, but had we been away for the day, this would have been impossible. We then moved back to the original apartment, which was in a bit of disarray. In the adjacent apartment, because we had to move out in a hurry, my sister accidentally left some of her toiletries and medication in the bathroom. After many phone calls, only some of the items were “found” and returned. Communication with the letting agent was poor. And compensation was never offered for the inconvenience. Another review regarding Westgate, describe similar problems to ours a few months ago - clearly, the letting agent has not learnt good customer service. While we will return to York, we will not use any properties managed by this letting agent.

Great location, everything you need. Stayed as a group in the same block. Key safe for entry was simple. Some issues with hot water in one of the rooms and given a master key that opened every room that was wasn’t good, and told we we’re in a room occupied by someone else. But resolved quickly. Definitely stay again.

Well located apartment in a great location, the area is reasonably quiet. It is just a short walk from the railway station and central York. Good access to local amenities, restaurants, bars and a small supermarket just a short walk away.

The booking and prior communication was great and gave us everything we needed. The apartment was in a great location, close to the centre but down a quiet backstreet.
The apartment does need some care, there were bits of the flooring coming up, a lot of marks over all the walls, the shower was loose fitting and sprayed water out of all joints when on. There was sealant coming away in a couple of areas of the shower as well.
The cleanliness was not as I would expect, there was a layer of dust and hairs on the bedside table and in the drawers which I had to clean before using. Anywhere that wasn’t the main area of flooring looked like it hadn’t been touched in a long time. The rubber thing on the draining board was dirty front and back. We got out a few of the glasses and all were dirty.

Appartamento spazioso, molto pulito e ben posizionato.
Forse da migliorare la dotazione della cucina (un minimo di condimenti tipo olio, sale, ecc sarebbe stato gradito e anche qualcosa per pulire, tipo scopa, detergente, ecc).
Chiare le istruzioni per il check-in

We booked a very last minute stay at The Falcon Tap for two nights and loved it so much, we ended up staying an extra night! The apartment was really clean and was a home away from home. The little welcome bag waiting for us was a wonderful touch and very appreciated!
It's only a 10 minute walk into the centre and near enough to everything (even for me with a dodgy foot!) There's a tesco express and Sainsburys local just a few minutes walk away for any essentials you need.
The only thing I would say could be improved, is the lighting in the stairwell. When coming in the main door, the sensor activates the lights but when coming out of your apartment, it doesnt turn on until you're halfway down the stairs.
Overall a 10/10 stay for us and we will definitely be returning!
Thank you to Julie who helped us with our request for an extra night.

Clean modern accommodation, great central location, well maintained.

No iron/ironing board would be only criticism otherwise made our stay in York!
