About this property

ArcView: SEC/Hydro 2 bed flat with amazing views & Parking

Our newly refurbished 2 bedroom apartment overlooks the Clyde and is a 5 minute walk to the SECC/Hydro & BBC / STV campus. Hip and trendy Finnieston is a 10 minute walk and the flat is also convenient for Glasgow City Centre and the West End. Everyone who comes to the apartment is blown away by the spectacular views of the Squinty Bridge and the Glasgow skyline. The flat has two double bedrooms, a lounge with dining space and a newly fitted kitchen and has all you need for an enjoyable stay.

Overlooking the spectacular “Squinty Bridge” this second floor flat blows people away with its ever changing views of the river and many Glasgow landmarks including he SSE Hydro Arena, the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre (SECC), the Armadillo, and the Finnieston Crane. The flat is 8 minutes drive from Rangers Ibrox stadium. No more than a 10 minute walk will take you to Finnieston which is bustling with bars and restaurants and was recently awarded the accolade of the “the hippest place to live in the UK” by the Times 2016. Just beyond Finneston you will find the famous Kelvingrove Art gallery and the vibrant West End of Glasgow. Turning right across the Clyde rather than left after a 15 minute walk you will be in the heart of Glasgow City centre with its famous architecture, shops and highly rated bars and restaurants. This flat is equipped with fast wifi and a TV with Freeview channels, free Netflix and on demand apps such as BBC iplayer. The kitchen is equipped to the highest standard with everything you could need to prepare a meal.

We had a plesant couple of nights here. The apartment is plesant and comfortablr and the view is fabulous Not a particularly touristy area but there are a few good resturants very close by and more in walking distance. You can walk to almost all of Glasgows main attractions in 30 minutes. Istanbul takeaway round the coner is excellent and extremely good value.

We loved our stay in the flat. It's comfortable with a fantastic location and view. The only negative was the inaccessible keysafe; we really struggled to get to it and operate it. It would be impossible for anyone with mobility issues!

Perfect Location

Myself and my two teenage daughters travelled to Glasgow for a family wedding. The girls loved the flat and the location. The apartment has a wonderful view of the squinty bridge and there is always something happening on the river . It was easy to get anywhere in the city. Subway was close, a few blocks away. The bus stop is 50 yds from the door. We even walked into the town a few times. We also walked to the transport museum along the river. The flat is well kept and the decor is nice. Thank you Jacqui for a wonderful visit.

Great location and views

This was a lovely apartment, even got used to the stairs (2 flights) which was a concern at first. It is immaculately presented and very very clean and fresh which we really appreciated. After a long long drive, the 'check-in' arrangement was a welcome easy process. My communication with Jacqui was really good and she was a lovely, friendly and helpful host and answered all my enquiries really quickly. There were toiletries and towels provided and even extra if needed which meant not having to worry about shower gel etc. The view is really nice and tranquil and the area very quiet and close to the cinema at the Quay. The free parking was also a godsend as we came by car and there were always spaces in front of the building. A must see is the Riverside museum, what a little gem, has parking for free and also the site of the Tall Ship which we really enjoyed. Hopefully we will visit Glasgow again in spite of the long drive from London.

Cozy in Glasgow

My family (husband and 13-year old son) enjoyed our stay at this very clean, cozy and quiet flat. Finding the key is a little like an Easter egg hunt, but the directions were clear. North Americans should note that the listing is on the second floor, but that translates to third floor and three flights of stairs. Everything in the flat was neat and tidy, and we were pleased to find a French press for coffee. There is one window in the lounge that is not operable, which was disappointing because the weather was lovely while we were there and would've enjoyed having it open. The parking lot was great for our rental vehicle - no need to hunt for a space, or pay extra at a meter or garage. If you're interested in the city hop-on-hop-off bus tour, there's a pick-up spot across the bridge at the Hilton. The bus is a great way to get around Glasgow without a car. Overall, highly recommend this property and its hosts. Thank you for a great stay in Glasgow!

Comfortable flat with lovely views

The flat is located by the Clyde River, a short walk away from the Glasgow Science Centre. The view from the living room is impressive, especially at night when the Riverside is lit up. The rooms are warm and comfortable, the bathroom immaculate, and the kitchen reasonably well equipped. The building is in a residential area, but there is a supermarket nearby (10 min walk). The nearest bus stop is 5 min walk from the flat. It then takes 10-15 minutes to get into the town centre. All in all, a very good option
