Loveliest Location in Oban

We loved everything about our stay on Oban. The location was central to everything, the apartment was beautifully equipped and comfortable, and the host gave easy to follow guidelines and instructions. Every VRBO should be like this! Thank you.

Beautifully furnished and equipped

The apartment is spacious and nicely furnished and decorated. The kitchen was large and modern. Our host provided selections of coffee and tea. And evens container of milk in the fridge. The beds were comfortable. There are nice large windows. We wish we could stay longer than two nights. I should mention that there are 66 steps to climb which might be a concern for some.

Just right.

Clean and convenient to sites, ferry terminal, and restaurants. Good restaurants: Oban Chocolate Company, the Lorne Bar, and Piazza. The gem of the area is the Pierhouse in Port Appin. The cafe on the Isle of Lismore is pretty great too.

Lovely Apartment with Great View!

We loved our stay in Oban, a lovely apartment - with every convenience you need - honestly, there is usually some point in the stay where you think - I wish there was a ,,, - but not here, fully equipped! Only thing to bear in mind, the flat is on the top floor, so there are 70 steps to get to the apartment ,. but if you're OK with steps, you'll be rewarded with the flat. It was a bonus to find that the first curator of the museum, on the ground floor was someone we knew! Sadly passed away recently, but lots of pictures of him in the museum.
