Super great location
Nothing but great things to say about this place! You can park the car and walk everywhere! Not sure how long ago it was renovated but everything feels new and clean. Spacious and comfortable. Kim and Michael did a great job of designing and decorating the flat. Lots of nice touches! We will definitely stay there anytime we are back in the area.

Modern, clean and fantastic location
Smooth stay, modern & clean. Everything we could have possibly needed. Little one slept a dream in the 2nd bedroom and plenty of space for us. Right next to the beach, aquarium and just a short walk to the Main Street of St Andrews. Ideal location to make the most of a 2 night stay. Only minor downside for us was the stairs to the penthouse could be difficult with luggage and our little one but this did not ruin our stay. Appreciated the coffee machine and biscuits!
