curiouswombat | Week in York

So - we are holidaying in York, rather than dashing here and back as a luggage delivery service!

We decided to stay in a self-catering apartment rather than a hotel - I like being able to spread out, don't mind doing the odd bit of cooking, and an upmarket apartment is actually still cheaper than a budget hotel!

The apartment is withing four or five minutes walk of the city centre, and is very,very nice - so

The Juniper apartment is in the basement of a four storey house. This is the view down from the living area towards the dining area and kitchen -

This shows D-d getting ready for our first dinner in the apartment, in the dining are -

A close-up of the kitchen area - with all the usual mod-cons (dishwasher, fridge, freezer, etc.)

Here is S2C awaiting his meal -

Out of shot to the right is the doorway to the bedroom D-d has, a wet-room bathroom and the second toilet. The door to the right of the picture, beside the kitchen area, leads to the back of the apartment where there are a few steps up to a washbasin and shower then a few more to the rest of our bedroom -

All in all, a rather nice place to spend a week. We only have two problems - the door handles are so stiff that S2C got stuck in the toilet and was almost at 'hammering on the door' stage, and D-d managed to shut herself out last night when she had been out with friends, and had to wake us up by ringing the door bell. Secondly S2C reckons the bed is too firm - pity, because I am sleeping really well in it! Apart from those little things, I would thoroughly recommend it for a holiday home.
