The location is incredible! Just a short walk to everything in St. Andrews. Only a few issues - one is there was a strong smell in the apartment, like someone had cooked a meal and didn't properly ventilate. We were able to open the windows and it definitely helped. The other, on our last day, there was a homeless person asleep in the common lobby. I think if the front door is kept locked this wouldn't be an issue. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay and would book again!
