Although our home is modern and minimalistic, it’s set within a building that’s over 150 years old, so please expect some floorboard creaks and noises that come with a building of this character.

Both bedrooms offer a tranquil retreat with the light grey interior of Bedroom 1 featuring a comfortable Kingsize bed, complete with a Blue Chest of Drawers for storage. Bedroom 2, styled in a soothing navy color palette, also offers a Kingsize bed, a desk, and a spacious fitted wardrobe. The bathroom is sparkling clean and includes a large bathtub, a decent shower, and ample space for dressing.

### Delightful Dining:
Situated at one of the best streets in the West End, the area is a haven for food lovers, with an array of top-rated restaurants to choose from. Nearby Ashton Lane presents an excellent selection of dining options, including the famous Ubiquitous Chip and the street-food style ramen at Ramen Dayo. Whether craving traditional cuisine or modern fare, there is something to satisfy every palate within walking distance of the property.

### Local Attractions Near Property:
The apartment's prime location provides easy access to Byres Road, a vibrant hub for shopping, dining, and entertainment.

For a cultural experience, guests can visit the cinema located within Ashton Lane or explore the charming streets lined with shops and cafes.

### Professional Cleaning:
The property ensures a high standard of cleanliness and maintenance to guarantee a pleasant stay for all guests. A shoe rack, coat hanging space, and a full-length mirror in the hallway add to the convenience and comfort of the accommodation.

In conclusion, our apartment in the heart of the West End offers a perfect fusion of modern amenities within a historic setting. With its impeccable design, proximity to local attractions, and emphasis on comfort, it provides an ideal base for exploring the vibrant city of Glasgow.

Great West End stay
This residence was perfect for our stay in the West End. Close to the University of Glasgow and an easy trip to City Center. We had great communication with the owner and enjoyed our time in the flat!

Great location near the University of Glasgow and all the West End restaurants and shops. On street parking was not bad at all. We didn't use the kitchen much as there was so many great options to eat out, but it seemed like it had what you would need. No extras. No frills. I would bring my own pillows next time as theirs were pretty awful, and the light blankets had me cold during the nights.

Great West End Location
This flat was a perfect launching point for the West Highland Way--we were able to run our errands easily from the flat (walking and Subway) and there was plenty of room to pack up/organize for the walk. The flat was comfortable and the host was VERY responsive.

Disliked: Cleanliness
great location but many items broken or missing
large, bright flat in the leafy West End of Glasgow... but the flat has not been maintained as high standard, it has obviously been rented for short stay over and over and no-one has checked (or even followed up) when an item was missing or broken. I contacted the manager of the property to raise that there were no wine glass, no enough dishes for a meal for 4p, they asked me to check again if there were not in the dishwasher... I thought it was useless to mention that the fan in the bathroom did not work, the wardrobe in one of the room was about to fall down... it is a shame because the place with its high-ceiling got something very special, but it is not looked after as it needs to be for short rentals.

Stay in Glasgow
A delightful property in an absolutely perfect location, near all that you need and then some, and essentially kitty-corner to the University, an added bonus for family visiting students. The flat is on the ground floor and is relatively accessible, excluding the stair to the building. It is very well-lit and spacious, designed to a cozy and aesthetically pleasing standard, with plenty of space for a group of visitors. The kitchen sink is a bit hard to use; it is easy to splash water everywhere and requires frequent drying. In terms of cleanliness, it was a very tidy location to stay; I will say that the communication with the VRBO hosts could have been better and more detailed, and the link to check-in was a bit problematic. But at the same time, they were also extremely accommodating on what was very much short notice, and my family quite appreciated that. Overall, it was a fun stay in a really lovely flat and if we were to stay again, we would definitely look at this property.
