Welcome to your perfect Glasgow city centre escape! Newly refurbished, this stylish flat sleeps up to 4 and features a private entrance, a spacious master with en suite, bright lounge with smart TV, and a fully equipped kitchen.

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Glasgow City Centre, this newly refurbished apartment blends modern comfort with city charm. Thoughtfully designed for up to four guests, it features high-quality furnishings, contemporary finishes, and all the essentials for a relaxing stay.

With its own private entrance, the space opens into an entrance hallway leading to a spacious master bedroom with en-suite on the ground floor. Upstairs, enjoy a bright living area with a large smart TV, a fully equipped kitchen, and a second cosy double bedroom with its own bathroom. Whether you’re here for business, leisure, or a bit of both, this stylish apartment offers the perfect city base.

Natural light fills the space, enhancing the overall ambiance, while the chic design elements create a welcoming touch.

Outdoor Bliss:
The apartment's central location means that outdoor leisure is just steps away. Blythswood Square, a short walk from the door, in summer, it's the perfect spot for a picnic, while during the winter season, it becomes a winter wonderland for a short walk.

Delightful Dining:
A short distance, East of the apartment, you'll find a diverse range of dining options to suit all tastes. The surrounding area boasts an extensive selection of bars, cafes, and restaurants where you can savor local and international flavors, from places like, The Ho Wong for Chinese, or Halloumi for Greek. With Finnieston and the West End a short walk to the West, coincidently, you can explore some of the best culinary experiences Glasgow has to offer, from hidden gems to gourmet restaurants, like Fanny Trollopes, which offers Private and Fine Dining.

Local Attraction near Property:
Located on prestigious St Vincent Street, near Glasgow's International Financial district, this property places you in one of Glasgow’s most desirable areas. Just minutes away, enjoy world-class performances at the iconic King’s Theatre, SEC, and OVO Hydro.

Overall the place was good. Kitchen is smaller than we thought and the dishwasher was hard to use. The panel on the front of the dishwasher was too long so you couldn't open it all the way to fill and empty properly. There was no extra hand soap in the bathrooms or bin bags in the kitchen which made cleaning a challenge.Location was fabulous and communication with the owner was great and easy. Overall nice place. Would stay again.

The unit was with in easy walking distance of the city center and near several bus stations. Plenty of room and was as described in the photos. WiFi coverage in the upstairs living room was fine but spotty in the two bedrooms. A repeater would help. Overall it was very nice!

Lots of restaurants, great museums, shopping within 30 minute walk. St Vincent hill traffic a tad noisy though. But tolerable. Accommodations fine.

The flat is roomier than we thought it would be. The clothes washer is new. Overall, however, the flat is a bit older, so don't expect some shiny new hotel. Everything is comfortable and pretty and works. Gillian responds right away to any inquiries and was lovely to deal with.

A handy location, easy walking distance to centre. NB found left luggage at Queen St station v useful tho they only take cash payment, no cards! Our host was v swift to respond. One gripe was that there were no toiletries when we arrived, and they weren't delivered until the next day. I'd advise asking host to check in advance as I see we're not the first people this happened to. No facilities to make filter coffee either! But overall v pleased with the place.

Beautiful and stylish townhouse, a short walk from the city centre. The hosts were very responsive to my messages. My only minor gripes would be the slightly lumpy sprung mattress in the downstairs bedroom, the suboptimal cleaning (there were layers of dust on the dining table and window sill) and slight paucity of consumables (the fairy liquid was empty, the hand wash and shampoo were near empty as were the giant refill containers until the stairs), there were no fresh scourers, my bed was made up and the mattress was still exposed on the pillow end of the bed...all these things could be remedied easily and would take the feel of the property from great to excellent. For those sensitive to noise, the downstairs bedroom is very sheltered from road noise as it has no road-facing windows and is tucked behind a wall and a door. It was very quiet. The upstairs bedroom had some road noise but it didn't bother my friend who sleeps like a log! Having a bathroom for each bedroom is great for those travelling with friends. There are even two hairdryers. The check-in/out was very easy with a lockbox. In summary, a beautifully presented property in a great location with responsive hosts...would definitely visit this high-ceilinged haven again!
