A Perfect Location
I thoroughly enjoyed my 9-night stay in this flat. It was bright and cheery and I loved the location. Only a 2-minute walk to the train station and right on the main pedestrian street which afforded lots to see out of the lovely bay window in the living room. And, too, it was surprisingly quiet. The beds were very comfortable and the bathroom very spacious. It was a welcome change from being stuck in a one-room hotel room! Alistair was very responsive and easy to deal with. I look forward to staying here again on my next visit to Milngavie!
