Great apartment, helpful and friendly owner and superb location for central Glasgow. Even has a good-sized balcony overlooking the river. Comfortably accommodated 7 adults (3 couples, 1 single). Will stay again!

This was probably the nicest apartment I have ever stayed in for a weekend trip. The whole experience was excellent, Thomas and Jamie's attentiveness before we made the journey up to Glasgow and as we arrived was spot on, very friendly and helpful. The location is superb, just a short walk from St Enoch Centre and Central Station. River views were excellent (though it was still the middle of winter at the end of March!) and the apartment itself was of the highest quality. We had a party of 6 and were made to feel like it was no bother at all to ensure that we had extra's such as a blow up bed for the extra guest, clean bedding and towels for everyone (which isn't always a given in other apartments I've stayed in), very clean, spacious, well lit and secure. Other extra's included the TV's in two of the bedrooms and living room, each showing Sky Sports News ( as they knew we were coming to watch football) showed the class of the owners. The only downside was the size pf the smallest room. It is smaller than a box and a child's bed, but we were warned in plenty of advance but it was a comfortable bed and not an issue at all during the stay. The other room were very comfortable and provided 6 of us with our own space. I would highly recommend the apartment to others looking to visit Glasgow and I would be quick to stay there again myself if I visit again.

The apartment was excellent. The location is superb being two minutes’ walk from the St Enoch Centre. The bedrooms are comfortable. The main living area is spacious and bright. The large full length windows and glass door onto the balcony provide a great view out over the river. The third bedroom is a small single, ideal for a child though not so great if you are a six foot plus adult I suppose. Between that and the double air bed that can be deployed in the living area the apartment sleeps 4 + 3 very comfortably. The owner was extremely helpful and pleasant to deal with. No faults, not even the weather.

We have two boys who loved staying at this apartment.
It is close to shops, and other amenities and there are lots of good places to eat and drink nearby.
The flat is very comfortable with great views over the river. It is immaculately clean with everything you need for a great short stay in the city at any time of the year.
We'll definitely stay again!

We cannot praise this property highly enough.
Our short stopover in Glasgow was turned into a very memorable and special mini-holiday because of our wonderful accommodation. The Flat was immaculately clean and comfortable and contained everything needed for a real home from home experience. The location is so central and allows you to enjoy Glasgow to the full and not have to worry about overpriced Hotels or transport. Everything is right on your doorstep. From the balcony sunset views to the moderns kitchen and bathrooms, we could not believe the high standards throughout and will certainly book again in the future if we can get a free date.
A truly stylish and relaxing place to get away from the daily grind and enjoy a little piece of heaven.
Top class.
