Clean, Comfortable and Quiet

Clean and comfortable and very quiet apartment We loved that it was within walking distance to lots of restaurants, pubs, train stations (Queen Street and Central Stations) as well as many tourist attractions. The building is a bit older looking and the street has several bars, so busy on the weekend but the apartment was modern, very clean and very quiet. We would stay again!!

Cool House In Great Location

It was the first stop for 8 couples travelling together for 3 weeks and we were quite happy with the home. It was well equipped and we thought that the host providing some treats and supplies was quite thoughtful. Loved the area, went for a walk each morning and frequented an Italian Coffee Shop / Deli nearby. We ate at a local pub and the pizza restaurant around the corner. Also had a couple of pints at the In Deep pub a stone's throw away.Host was responsive and helpful with the parking arrangments.All in all, thoroughly enjoyed the stay. Would certainly recommend and would stay again if in Glasgow in the future.

Great Stay and great Host

This accommodation had everything we needed to make our stay hassle free and as comfortable as being at home. There were extra small amenities which is probably why they are such great hosts. Our host Kevin was very responsive to our communication which was great, and the location was very convenient to hop on the tube, and go explore glasgow. Once the foot bridge is built by the riverside museum, it will be a great bonus. Thanks Kevin for a great stay.

LOVED our stay on Gerda!

The Gerda houseboat is a truly unique and elegant place to stay in Glasgow. Jonathan and Chris have outfitted it with everything you could need, from Tupperware for leftovers, eco-friendly bath products, to travel guides and extra outlet converters. They even stocked the fridge with a few food essentials and have a whiskey tasting bar! In addition, there are lots of great restaurants within a 5-10 minute walk, a nearby subway stop, and a wonderful coffee shop right at the wharf. We can’t recommend Gerda or its hosts more highly.
