    The property was in an excellent location, very close to the city centre. The property itself was modern, spacious, stylish and very clean. It had everything we needed and more. The host had obviously thought of everything anybody would need on holiday. We were even given a complementary box of biscuits and milk on arrival. The communication between ourselves and the host was excellent and I would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting York.

    Waters Edge at Cocoa Suites is a nice, modern city apartment. Its location in a very nice and quiet spot at the waterside very close to the historic city center of York is perfect! The quality of the amenities is high and being able to sit outside near the waterside, having your morning coffee in the sun is very attractive. There is a big supermarket at a couple of minutes walking. If you arrive by electric vehicle, a fast charger is at the supermarket’s parking, making the location extra convenient.
