    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.
