Oban is lovely. This place was lovely. The location, in spite of it being in a kinda non-picturesque building, was great for getting around - very close to everything we wanted to check out in town. Inside, the place was very comfortable and cute. The host was also very cool, easy to communicate with, and responsive.
Alice’s place was exactly as advertised. We loved the location and amenities. It was within walking distance to everything in Oban. We would recommend people stay here when visiting the town.

Communication was fantastic even when I had quick questions. The flat was very convenient for catching the boat.
The apartment was centrally located and easy walking distance, it was warm with lots of natural light. It was exactly as described in the booking. Instructions clear to check in and Alice was super quick with communications.
The property, location and host were fantastic! Highly recommend.

Modest, clean property
The back entry was a bit dicey.
Street parking was a bit dicey.
The apartment was clean and large.
Nicely outfitted kitchen.
Easy walk to the harbor and pubs.
The beds need updating.
Just right for our 3 nights and 2 days. The unit is centrally located and we could walk to everything. Check in and out was easy. Clean and furnished with everything we need.
The outer entrance to the apartment does not look inviting, but as soon as you are inside, the flat is light, airy and immaculately clean. It is very well appointed for everything you might need to make you comfy, and very spacious. Good, clean, comfortable beds . Well fitted out kitchen. Would definitely stay here again if in Oban
This is a great little spot in Oban and is close to everything. Perfect for couples or small families. A solo female traveler may be more comfortable somewhere with a well lit entrance in a more populated area. The back alley with no lights or motion lights was a bit unnerving once the sun had set. Oban is a safe enough place but I travel solo often for work and would have not been comfortable here on my own. Our one night stay was perfectly fine regarding the room, amenities, etc.
Oban is a beautiful town with much charm. This VRBO allowed our family to enjoy a home base and explore the area. Alice was very helpful, kind, and responsive. Thank you.
Very clean, modern apartment in Oban for our one night stay having come off a late ferry. Host Alice, was excellent at keeping in touch. Access just slightly tricky with dogs but pleased to be allowed to have them in the apartment.

Immaculate property and truly excellent communication from the host made our short stay even better. It’s close to all local transport snd we enjoyed this friendly town. The flat is noisy as it’s on a busy street. I had earplugs, so not a problem for me.
Highly recommend.
Good location in Oban. Walking distance to everything. Two separate bedrooms and large living area. Great communication from host!
Showerhead is not what we’re used to at home. Very small, low pressure. Not high enough to have your head under it which would make hair washing tricky since you’d have to be using one hand to hold the sprayer yourself. Luckily, I washed my hair the night before arriving.

Great location, some repairs needed
Great location, easy check in/out. Shower leaves a lot to be desired (tub was out of order but showerhead doesn't spray your head). Dryer was.in the foyer broken (?) so we had to hang our clothes to dry.
Overall a great spot and nice little apartment. My only suggestion is that the couch and bed need upgrading as they are important. Also the parking directions should simply state “park on the street or across the street”. We parked in the back, not seeing the parking sign that was leaned against the building behind a van hence in the morning we were met by a terse older Scot who was none too happy that we parked there unknowingly. There was also a green plastic glass that apparently was cracked and it leaked but we used a cloth to mop it up. Otherwise a nice stay.
Great flat, Access is via a small set of stairs at the rear of the property, very spacious and comfortable with lots of storage options. The host was very helpful with any queries we had. And I'd be more than happy to recommend this property. The main bit of Oban is just a few mins walk away and there is a big Tesco and M&S a short walk away. There are several nice bars and restaurants in easy walking distance.

It was clean but the beds were terrible. The alley way to the unit was scary!
Great location and very comfortable
Couple more pots and pans for some home cooking would be good
Really enjoyed staying here
