St andrews golf trip residence.

Great location and very comfortable to stay with 4 couples. Each room was very private and sound proof. Exactly as seen on photos while the unit is located not on the ground floor but favorably on the very high 2nd and 3rd floors. 2nd floor (kitchen, living room and one bedroom bathroom)has really high and amazing European ceiling. Kitchen had all supplies to conveniently cook simple meals and each bedrooms and bathrooms was also comfortably furnished. Only downfall was the entrance vicinity from the street level was bit dirty and the view of the back yard from the 2nd floor kitchen wasn’t great. However, this is such as minor issue and not considered a complaint as the unit was beautifully and comfortably designed. I would definitely want to return to this unit rather than staying at the old course or the Rusack hotels.
