The flat was exactly as described and pictured on the site. It was super clean and well organized. Close enough to transit to get everywhere. I would stay here again if I come back to Glasgow.

Nice, large flat. Very clean, easy to access, easy communications with owner. I found the neighborhood easy for access to what we wanted but my teens less so. Was great as a jumping off spot if you have a car, and not too far to city centre, just not that much right there for the younger folk. Great for us adults though excellent butcher right around the corner, good late night Persian market and convenience stores nearby.Would absolutely stay again.

Sightseeing Glasgow

Excellent flat, well equipped and very friendly and helpful owners. Ideal situation for exploring Glasgow which is rich in buildings, museums, galleries and gardens. The flat is close enough to central and East side of city and near Glasgow Green and Palace gardens for walking and a drink at the West beer hall.5 minute walk to several buses into the Centre and 10 minute walk to the subway which can take you round to the West side of the city.

Beautiful Apartment .

The apartment was everything we could ask for, the host was very accommodating and helped throughout the process. Communication was down to the tee and we had a nice greeting, making that check in a little more easy. The apartment itself was spacious for our family, and had all the amenities we needed. The host was above and beyond making it that bit more extra comfortable for us. Convenience stores are just around the corner with everything you could need and handy parking just outside. Would definitely return when we get the opportunity in the future.

Bright flat

The apartment was clean and bright In Gorbals area of Glasgow. We were only given an approx location when we booked which on reflection was not very helpful as it was further than we thought. We didn’t walk into the centre as it was too far through demolition sites and busy roads. Uber and taxi were fine to collect and drop us. There is a supermarket close by.

Hi Sue, it is VRBO policy to release the address 14 days before your stay for security reasons, however I can always provide the full address as soon as the booking is made. The location shown on my listing is actually very accurate too. It is a very peaceful location and the centre is an easy 15 minute walk over the river (or by bus which is 5 minutes walk away). Thank you again and so pleased you enjoyed your stay.

DON'T SKIP THIS ONE. STAY HERE!

Besides how central and comfortable the apartment was, I'd say the best part was the communication with the host and myself. Marcia was very responsive making the booking, a few days before, and whenever we asked for some suggestion during our stay. There is a very organized book with suggestions, maps and menus. Marcia and Kevin could not have been nicer. The apartment has great parking and a small grocery store we used three times. Get Mackie's Ice Cream! The kitchen was clean and had everything you could want for a short stay. The bathroom was spacious, squeaky clean with plenty of hot water. My only problem was how to get out of the comfy sofa in front of the big tv and go see more of wonderful Glasgow. Don't skip this one. Stay here!

Ten Star Host

Marcia and her family rate 10 stars as hosts! Her usband and son hauled all our luggage up the two long flights of stairs when we arrived, and Marcia had stocked the friidge with milk and breakfast goodies. Their flat is lovely, well equipped, very quiet - exactly as pictured, and if you have a car, the neighbourhood is fine. We found it to be a bit isolated, and had huge difficulties getting taxis - apparently there's a shortage of drivers in Glasgow. We forfeited £100, because our prebooked taxi didn't show up to get us to a tour one morning. Uber turned out to be more reliable. So great flat, and wonderful hosts - 5 stars for sure.

Thank you so much for your kind words and so glad you had a lovely time. Uber is the best option, but the bus is only 5 minutes' walk away and subway10 minutes walk, to take you anywhere in the city, which is a 15 minute walk away. Hope to see you again and was a pleasure to meet you both.

Great flat, close to city centre Glasgow

We spent 4 days there recently and the flat was really lovely, warm, clean and comfortable. The neighbourhood was quiet and had a couple of shops nearby for groceries. We had a parking spot right outside the property too. The flat is very clean and modern and about a 15-20 min walk from the centre of Glasgow. The owner was really lovely and friendly and very helpful. Would highly recommend and stay there again if I was ever visiting Glasgow again.

The place to stay .

We stayed at this property for 8 days . It is in a very quiet and amiable location on the riverside of New Gorbals . The bedrooms are very comfortable as is the lounge . The kitchen facilities are excellent. And there lots of useful shops within two minutes. Including a large coop . Lots of free parking outside the apartment . We looking forward to staying here again in the future.

I usually go to Glasgow twice a year and have stayed in many places but I think I’ve found the one that I’ll be rebooking continuously. Marcia was the perfect hostess.

Lovely apartment. Delightful

My travel companion and I loved staying in Marcia's lovely apartment. She was so communicative and attentive to our needs. Check in was effortless. The space is lovely, comfortable and quiet. We appreciated being near a grocery store, a good cafe and within an easy walk to the bustle of Argyll Street. Highly recommend!

Excellent in all regards

Many others have written about the virtues of this place, the big spaces, the comfortable big beds with the best comforters (!) The new well equipped kitchen and sparkling bathroom with HUGE tub as well as shower. But what impressed me most was the excellent lighting in all the rooms. Much due to the big picture window that could give you hours of pleasure just watching that ever changing Gladgow sky. All of the rooms had natural light as well as good reading lamps on BOTH SIDES of both beds, something not in our 20 years experience in VRBOs. We both like to read before bed so this was a real pleasure! Marcia is beyond a perfect host, always there to answer a question or recommend good places to visit and/or dine. Cannot enough good things about it.

Wonderful central apartment in peaceful location

We very much enjoyed our stay at Marcia's apartment. The location is perfect as it's not far from the centre of Glasgow and the location was very peaceful. The apartment was immaculate and has everything you could possibly need. Would highly recommend and if I'm ever in Glasgow again I will be sure to return.

Perfect Glasgow stay

Marcia and Kevin provide a spotless flat that was superbly comfortable for us. We enjoyed being out of the bustle of the city centre at the end of our sightseeing days. Beds are comfortable and the area was very quiet, even with windows open. The community green and the Gorbals Rose Garden are lovely spaces. Groceries were close by. We used the Hop-on-hop-off bus as our main transport (2 day pass) and picked it up at stop #6, a pleasant river walk from the flat. I would highly recommend this flat for a Glasgow visit.

Great Glasgow Getaway!

This was such a treat to find for a short visit to see family. Beautiful home with top notch amenities, in an excellent location just a short walk away from Merchant City. Marcia was so lovely - she gave us a tour around the property and excellent recommendations for local food and sights to see! Thank you so much, we would love to be back!!

lovely two bedroom flat in Glasgow

My 24 year old daughter and I just spent 5 days in this two bedroom flat near the River Clyde. It was everything we hoped for - very quiet and yet close enough to the city center that we could walk. The subway was also about a 10-15 minute walk which could take us anywhere we wanted to go in Glasgow. Our host Marcia and her husband were very helpful in settling us in and directing us to the nearby market and restaurants. The flat is extremely comfortable - we would happily return!!
