Very convenient location. Huge room which was great! Laundry is odd but we used the heater to dry the clothes as the dryer portion of the all in one doesn’t work. The caretaker was also great.

We know this area and market really well. We lived/worked in Glasgow for a couple years and frequently visit friends. SO, the good, the bad and the ugly of our 1 night stay. Good: the units (we got to see 2) are modern and well furnished. Modern appliances. Comfy bed, although we slept horribly as explained below. Bad: we had to move rooms on arrival because the first room was stifling hot and the Nest could not be adjusted because there were no controls. We called, Claire, she was very apologetic, and moved us to a new room. HOWEVER, the Nest controls were missing from that room as well! We learned after we had moved in but this room was cold and we could handle that. Ugly: The “new” room looked ok. We quickly learned that there was no way to turn off the light in the WC. Kinda funny at 5pm; pretty awful at 3 am going to the loo. Also, the new room faced West Nile Street which runs 24/7. The windows in the new room were/are beyond filthy. The night sounds coming off West Nile are unrelenting. ALSO, the curtains didn’t kill the lights. Finally one of the ceiling lights in the main room was failing so it was flickering which was really annoying and hence unusable. So that’s our tale of woe. Nobody’s on site so you’re on your own.

Excellent property, but parking was a pain!

Property was extremely clean and communication beforehand was excellent! Claire did a great job! However, we had to park about 10 minutes away in the closest parking garage carting all our luggage. I was traveling with my elderly parents, so this was tough. Also, I forgot my toiletry bag and didn’t remember until about 10 hours later. I called Claire who called the facilities manager and my bag had been turned in! Very honest cleaning crew!!

Fabulous city apartment.

Check in was so easy with the code for both the entrance and door to the apartment. The apartment was very spacious and so well appointed with everything you would need for a short stay. Tea, coffee and milk was there for us too. Plenty of shower gel, shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom. The bed was very comfortable and everything was clean. It was in a fabulous location in the city too. The luggage storage is a great idea on your check out day as it allowed us to stay in the city for longer without worrying about where to put the luggage. We would highly recommended this apartment and will stay in it again in the future.

Was in city center. Had issues finding the place. Would suggest leaving info on how to use washer dryer combo and what radiation symbols meant…. Room over all large and nice had fridge and cooking ability though we did not use. Walkable to bars and restaurants and shopping. Easy to hail a cab.

If you're traveling with luggage, be aware that there's no elevator — staying on the 7th floor can be extremely challenging. The air conditioning is PIN-protected, but the code was never provided, leaving the apartment uncomfortably warm during our two-night stay. Communication was poor, with no responses to emails, leaving us to figure things out on our own. Although I eventually managed to reach someone by phone, I wasn’t allowed to check in early despite the room being ready two hours before the official time — a clear lack of customer service and empathy. Unfortunately, Clair from the team was neither helpful nor supportive. The apartment itself is spacious, but due to the overall experience, I won’t be returning.

Great stay

Instructions for access were sent well ahead of time, and were very easy to follow. Luggage storage was a great bonus and made life really easy. Location was great, central to shops and transport. Kitchen was well equipped, and the whole place was clean and welcoming. Only thing missing would be some hooks in the bathroom closer to the shower to avoid getting water everywhere after.
