Lovely peaceful, riverside location
After a long trip from Australia, this property was just the place to recover from jet lag. Its position was great for us as it is near the family we are here to see. It is also within easy walking range to the Westend and the Botanic Gdns. Comfortably furnished and well equipped. We are booking in again.

Great Property
Nice property, in a quite street, which backs onto the river Kelvin. Not far from the city centre, with local shops and takeaways 5 minutes walk away. Well equipped for long stays. Lots of cooking equipment.

Great location next to the River Kelvin
Flat is in a superb location next to the River Kelvin with super easy access to shops and walking paths along the River Kelvin and Forth & Clyde Canal taking you just about anywhere you need to go. I had a great time enjoying the walking options in all directions. We had a car but it was a short walk to bus stops and train stations. The flat was clean and well stocked. I would strongly suggest this flat for one or two persons only. We had our adult son with us and it was definitely cramped for three.

Great Stay On the River Kelvin
Wonderful flat in a quiet apartment complex With a door that opens onto the River Kelvin. Everything that I needed was provided by the property manager. Great communication. One thing to note is that the property is not directly on a transit line. Buses are a medium walk away. Great spot if you are a walker or have a car. Ubers were readily available and took me where I wanted to go quickly and affordably.
