This unit may not be the greatest location for everyone - but it was perfect for us because it is literally across the street from the Mitchell Library in Glasgow. We were there to do some family history research and this was the perfect location - less than a minute's walk from our building to the Mitchell. Can't get better than that. So, if you are going to Glasgow for family or academic research at the Mitchell, this is the place to stay. There is a Tesco express supermarket downstairs, with a cash machine installed. There is a good pub a couple of doors away (The Bon Accord) and the Mitchell itself has a reasonable café. There are other cafes a few minutes walk away also. You will be well catered for.
The only drawback is that a freeway runs right past the front windows of the apartment. However, the soundproofing is very good, as long as the windows are closed. You can't hear the road noise at night in the bedroom, which is good.
As the windows need to stay closed, the apartment can get warm over time. This can be alleviated somewhat by opening the window in the bedroom. If you open the front windows, the place is filled with road noise. A split system air-conditioner would do wonders really. We stayed in August and as the temperatures were cool, the interior unit temp wasn't really a problem as we could regulate it without too much road noise intrusion. Summer time may be a different story.
Overall we had a great stay and recommend this place to others.
