About this apartment rental

Explore the lovely city of Glasgow from this central location with it's stunning Victorian and art nouveau architecture. The city centre and trendy Merchant City is just a 15 minute walk (or 5 min walk to bus stop). Designer boutiques, stylish cafes & bars fill former warehouses on Ingram Street and the Italian Centre, an elegant shopping block surrounding a courtyard. Gourmet Scottish, Indian and Mediterranean bistros dot the area, while cocktail lounges and gin bars occupy renovated 18th-century buildings. Cultural venues City Halls and the Old Fruitmarket host classical and pop concerts. Home to Scottish Opera, Scottish Ballet and National Theatre of Scotland, as well as acclaimed museums, art galleries and a thriving nightlife & music scene.

Beautiful Glasgow Green is on our doorstep and great for a run, walk or bike ride. Here you can pick up the City Sightseeing bus which connects you with all the main tourist attractions. There is also a great play area for children. The park is home to the People's Palace and Winter Gardens, where you can discover fascinating aspects of Glasgow life, the magnificent terracotta Doulton Fountain and multi-coloured facade of Templeton’s Carpet Factory, designed in imitation of the Doge’s Palace in Venice. Fully stocked supermarket, library and sports centre less than 5 minutes’ walk away. The Citizens Theatre is around the corner and the Tron Theatre a 10 minute walk.

Relax in this peaceful apartment after exploring the city, visiting family and friends or set up your office in the spacious lounge and connect to our fast fibre broadband. This apartment is ideal for business or pleasure.

The property is light & spacious. Indulge in a peaceful nights' sleep with 2 large bedrooms (1 king & 1 double bed) and free residents parking. Make dinner in a fully equipped kitchen. Chill with a meal and glass of wine in a stylish dining area in the spacious lounge, overlooking beautiful private gardens. There is also an eating area in the kitchen.

We are 5 minutes from the motorway system (M74, junction 1A). The airport is 15 minutes by car and train station about 10 minutes. The SECC and Hydro are also about a 10 minute drive away and easily reached by public transport. It is a 12 minute walk to Bridge Street subway and this is the quickest way to travel around the city. Glasgow Central station takes around 20 minutes to walk. Glasgow University can be reached in 25 minutes on public transport and Strathclyde university is a 20 minute walk away.

The Gorbals has undergone a total transformation, with modern apartments displaying metalwork sculptures by local artists at entrances and in the streets. There are lovely green spaces and the area is safe and quiet and mainly occupied by young professionals and families.

We can provide any help and advice needed to make the most out of your stay and also recommend some great places to eat and drink. There is a folder with full details in the apartment. I will always ensure that my guests have a perfect stay and experience the city like a local.

The apartment was clean and bright In Gorbals area of Glasgow. We were only given an approx location when we booked which on reflection was not very helpful as it was further than we thought. We didn’t walk into the centre as it was too far through demolition sites and busy roads. Uber and taxi were fine to collect and drop us. There is a supermarket close by.

The location was great, 15 minute walk to City Center. The owner was nice and very helpful. However, there are some things that need attention in the flat. The bathroom floor has some squishy places where the floor was not properly installed. The kitchen table has bad places in it. I felt like the lock on the front door is a fire hazard because you lock it with a key and in case of fire, might make it difficult to get out. We left the key in the door just for that emergency. There is no electrical plug in the bath room so I could not use the mirror to dry my hair. The beds were comfortable and the living room was bright and the sofa was comfortable. We had a great time in Scotland but think some things needs to be addressed.

Loved the area - proximity to Merchant Square is good (walkable). The unit itself is bright and sunny and comfortable and the hosts were excellent - everything was just perfect!

We spent 4 days there recently and the flat was really lovely, warm, clean and comfortable. The neighbourhood was quiet and had a couple of shops nearby for groceries. We had a parking spot right outside the property too. The flat is very clean and modern and about a 15-20 min walk from the centre of Glasgow. The owner was really lovely and friendly and very helpful. Would highly recommend and stay there again if I was ever visiting Glasgow again.
