The view was great, the flat was spotless, Jacqui and Brian were very accommodating. Location wise, you can walk, you can take the bus.

We had a plesant couple of nights here. The apartment is plesant and comfortablr and the view is fabulous
Not a particularly touristy area but there are a few good resturants very close by and more in walking distance. You can walk to almost all of Glasgows main attractions in 30 minutes.
Istanbul takeaway round the coner is excellent and extremely good value.

The flat was perfect for a two-night visit to Glasgow for a family wedding. It was easy to find and the video was very helpful for the check- in process. Spotlessly cleaned and tastefully decorated, the flat equipped with everything we needed. Thank you for a lovely stay.

My family (husband and 13-year old son) enjoyed our stay at this very clean, cozy and quiet flat. Finding the key is a little like an Easter egg hunt, but the directions were clear. North Americans should note that the listing is on the second floor, but that translates to third floor and three flights of stairs.
Everything in the flat was neat and tidy, and we were pleased to find a French press for coffee. There is one window in the lounge that is not operable, which was disappointing because the weather was lovely while we were there and would've enjoyed having it open.
The parking lot was great for our rental vehicle - no need to hunt for a space, or pay extra at a meter or garage. If you're interested in the city hop-on-hop-off bus tour, there's a pick-up spot across the bridge at the Hilton. The bus is a great way to get around Glasgow without a car.
Overall, highly recommend this property and its hosts. Thank you for a great stay in Glasgow!

We loved our stay in the flat. It's comfortable with a fantastic location and view.
The only negative was the inaccessible keysafe; we really struggled to get to it and operate it. It would be impossible for anyone with mobility issues!

Mesmerising view
The accommodation is practically on the river and the view of the Squinty Bridge and the Ovo building, especially at night is totally absorbing! Great location and very comfortable accommodation. It was immaculate when we arrived and parking was very easy. Great place to explore Glasgow. Thank you

Great location and views
This was a lovely apartment, even got used to the stairs (2 flights) which was a concern at first. It is immaculately presented and very very clean and fresh which we really appreciated. After a long long drive, the 'check-in' arrangement was a welcome easy process. My communication with Jacqui was really good and she was a lovely, friendly and helpful host and answered all my enquiries really quickly. There were toiletries and towels provided and even extra if needed which meant not having to worry about shower gel etc.
The view is really nice and tranquil and the area very quiet and close to the cinema at the Quay. The free parking was also a godsend as we came by car and there were always spaces in front of the building. A must see is the Riverside museum, what a little gem, has parking for free and also the site of the Tall Ship which we really enjoyed. Hopefully we will visit Glasgow again in spite of the long drive from London.

Perfect Location
Myself and my two teenage daughters travelled to Glasgow for a family wedding. The girls loved the flat and the location. The apartment has a wonderful view of the squinty bridge and there is always something happening on the river . It was easy to get anywhere in the city. Subway was close, a few blocks away. The bus stop is 50 yds from the door. We even walked into the town a few times. We also walked to the transport museum along the river. The flat is well kept and the decor is nice. Thank you Jacqui for a wonderful visit.

Great base for the SEC
Stayed in the property as we were exhibiting at the SEC for 5 days and it was a great base, within easy walking distance.

Comfortable flat with lovely views
The flat is located by the Clyde River, a short walk away from the Glasgow Science Centre. The view from the living room is impressive, especially at night when the Riverside is lit up.
The rooms are warm and comfortable, the bathroom immaculate, and the kitchen reasonably well equipped.
The building is in a residential area, but there is a supermarket nearby (10 min walk). The nearest bus stop is 5 min walk from the flat. It then takes 10-15 minutes to get into the town centre.
All in all, a very good option

Lovely flat
Clean and lovely flat in a nice environment. I enjoyed my stay. The map indication on the website was incorrect, showing location opposite side of river Clyde. A little tricky to retrieve the key when it was dark.

A Perfect Home from Home with a View!
I have stayed in a few apartments in Glasgow over the years but this one is by far my favourite. The view of the Hydro, the Finnieston Crane, the Armadillo and the Squinty Bridge was one I would never tire of looking at. The flat was lovely, with everything you could possibly need when staying away. The beds were extremely comfortable and dressed with quality linen. The WiFi was fast and reliable and the flat provided a warm and welcoming base for our time in the city. Also nice to find wee extras in the kitchen (tea, coffee etc). Thank you Jacqui and Bryan for accommodating us.
