This property was very clean and inviting. Giovanna was exceptionally attentive and helpful as a host, and she runs a great Italian restaurant next door. Check it out. Our stay was a wonderful experience for our family. The negative was the walk up 3 flights of stairs for us of a certain age; but, hey, the extra exercise may have resulted in our slight loss of weight—something that has almost never occurred for us on vacations.

Perfect location right in the centre of everything you could need. Large kitchen and living area that enabled the 6 of us to relax and spend time together. Every space was very clean. Nice to have a roomy shower. Beds were comfortable, even the bunk beds (considering we’re over 60). Grateful there were fans provided as it was super hot in Scotland during our visit. Excellent communication with the owners and check-in was super smooth. Appreciated that we could do laundry on site. Highly recommend!

Excellent stay!

The apartment was a perfect choice for our party of 4. (Two married couples) We had plenty of space to relax. The location is close to the city center, train, and bus line. It made it very easy to get to the sites we wanted to see. Giovanna was helpful and very responsive to messages.

Family flat

Let me start by saying that this flat has an amazing location! We were able to walk down stairs and go right to the tram system and hit all of the sights! It is in walking distance to many shops, dining, etc. The flat itself worked great for our quick stay. We needed bedrooms for everyone and bathrooms were key in organizing how fast we could get up and around to sight see! The hosting family goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome as well! Thank you!

Conveniently located. But on a busy street so expect road noise and the sounds of passers by. Should’ve read the listing more carefully. There is no elevator, so hauling bags up to the flat can be a workout.
