The Central Scotland / Strathclyde / Lanarkshire/Glasgow region

Glasgow is one of the liveliest and most cosmopolitan destinations in Europe. The city has been reborn as a centre of style and vitality set against a backdrop of outstanding Victorian architecture.

Glasgow boasts world famous art collections, the best shopping in the United Kingdom outside London, and the most vibrant and exciting night-life in Scotland.

A must see is the splendour of Scotland's best known architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh, whose style adorns many unique attractions throughout Scotland's largest, greatest and friendliest city.

Golfing enthusiasts have over 30 courses to choose from within a 10 mile ( 15 km ) radius of the apartment.

Edinburgh with its many attractions is 1 hour from Glasgow and is easily reached by car, train or bus.

Loch Lomond.
The stunning scenery surrounding Loch Lomond, the largest freshwater loch/lake in Britain, makes it hard to believe that it is only 14 miles north of Glasgow. Whether you want to soak up the scenery by walking, fishing or cycling or enjoy the loch from the water itself on a speed boat, kayak, canoe, jet ski, or the more sedate cruisers operated from Balloch, there are ample opportunities for everyone.

The Glasgow / West End, Glasgow area

The urbane West End seems a world away from the hustle and bustle of Glasgow city centre. In the 1800s, the city's wealthy merchants established huge estates away from the soot and grime of city life, and in 1870 the University of Glasgow was moved from College Street - near Glasgow cathedral - to a spacious new site overlooking the River Kelvin on University Avenue. Elegant housing swiftly followed and the Kelvingrove Museum and Art Gallery was built to house the 1888 International Exhibition. In 1896, the Glasgow District Subway – today's Underground known locally as "The Clockwork Orange" – started its circuitous shuffle from here to the city centre.

The hub of life in this part of Glasgow is Byres Road, running between Great Western Road and Dumbarton Road past Hillhead underground station. Shops, restaurants, cafés, some enticing pubs and hordes of students give the area a sense of style and vitality. Glowing red sandstone tenements and graceful terraces provide a suitably upmarket backdrop to this cosmopolitan district.

In addition to the stunning Victorian architecture it is also known for its public parks and gardens and as a home for celebrities.

Glasgow is a shoppers' paradise, second only to London for sheer volume and choice. The vibrant city nightlife brings further choices with it's with funky bars, restaurants, theatres and clubs.

Places to visit include Ashton Lane at Byres Road, Glasgow's Botanical Gardens, Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, Kelvingrove Park. Princes Square, Buchanan Galleries, Loch Lomond Shores, The Mackintosh House, Merchant Square,The Burrell Collection, National Bagpiping Centre, Museum of Transport and the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre (SECC). Depending on whether you walk or choose to drive, all of these attractions are easily accessible from the apartment.

“A wonderful, comfortable home from home, convenient for all the sites of Glasgow” When you approach this apartment, you will not be impressed by the architecture, but once inside you get a warm greeting from the owner; a nice welcome pack of essentials, and a lovely, comfortable apartment, which is 2 minutes from the nearest shops and 10 minutes walk to a main shopping/restaurant/bar street and the metro which takes you easily to nearly all the sites in Glasgow. We were able to park free right outside the apartment and the whole area is quiet and pleasant. Paul emailed lots of links and information to help us plan our holiday. The city of Glasgow was also a really pleasant surprise. It is green, friendly, easy to get around and full of interesting museums. If you like the architecture and interior design of Macintosh and his wife,m you will enjoy the houses and museums. The transport museum was fascinating with a recreation street and lots of interesting films. We had a 5 day break in Glasgow and walked for 7 or 8 hours every day to see most of the sites. All in all an excellent holiday and Paul's apartment is the ideal base Response: Many thanks for your review.

“The best holiday flat in Glasgow” One has to stay in this flat to understand what the rave reviews are all about. My husband and I stayed in this flat for 3 weeks in June and we were very sorry to leave. The place had grown on us and we actually missed it when we reached home. The location is excellent. The shops, restaurants and subway station as well as bus stops are all close by. The flat is in a residential area hence the place is very quiet ensuring nights of peaceful sleep. The bed is most comfortable, the kitchen well equipped and above all, the flat was very clean. What makes the flat a cut above the rest is that the owner is by far the best host/landlord one can ever hope to meet. Coming from a tropical country, he made sure that the heaters were turned on before we arrived. They might seem like minor things but the owner being there when we arrived to welcome and familiarize us with the place, his leaving a handbook on places to see and things to do in Glasgow and nearby places, as well as his coming around before we left to make sure we were alright, make a whole lot of difference. There is no doubt that when we go back to Glasgow, we will make a beeline for this flat. Unfortunately, with all the great reviews it has been getting, there are less available open dates. Response: Your comments are very much appreciated and thank you for taking the time to submit your review.

“Wouldn't Stay Anywhere Else” This flat was absolutely fantastic for our stay over the new year. The owner Paul was such a gentleman and did everything he could to make our stay great. The flat is lovely. The bed is huge and very comfortable. In fact it prompted me to order a new bed when I got home. There is a massive sliding door wardrobe in the bedroom and plenty of other storage space. The living room is great if you fancy a night in. It has a giant lcd tv with freeview and wireless broadband which you don't pay extra for. The sofa is very comfortable both as a couch or folded down as a bed. There is also a nice balcony off the living room in case you fancy a spot of fresh air. To enter the building takes a key fob and the flat is alarmed so you know that your thing are secure. The kitchen has all the mod cons that you need. I made dinner a couple of times and didn't want for anything. The shower was great too. Hyndland is a great place with lots of places nearby to eat and drink. Transports links are great with the buses on Hyndland Rd and the subway station on Byers Rd. Every time we go to stay in Glasgow from now on my first check will be to see if this flat is available. I think that in itself says enough you need to know. Response: Thank you for taking the time to submit such a positive review on the apartment and the Hyndland area. As guests you will always be welcome and I hope that the new bed is comfortable. Thank you again.

“Cozy & clean apartment, great neighborhood, friendly owner” My boyfriend and I stayed in this apartment for about a week in November. After submitting a request to rent the apartment, the owner replied promptly via email and we were able to arrange our stay there quickly and easily over email. He also provided us with a list of things to do/see and where to eat and drink in Glasgow which we heavily relied on and was excellently curated. The apartment is just as it looks in the photos--it's a cozy one bedroom with a full kitchen and bath and was meticulously clean. The bed was comfortable, the shower is electric so you will always have hot water, and there is fast wifi. Most importantly to me, it was QUIET!!! so we slept really well. The owner met us at the apartment when we arrived and helped us get settled in. He had stocked the kitchen with coffee, tea, milk, yogurt and muffins which we really appreciated after a very early morning flight. We were in touch with him via email throughout our stay for suggestions on things to do in the neighborhood, and he was prompt and helpful when we had questions. The apartment is in the West End of Glasgow near the University of Glasgow and about an 8 minute walk to Byers Road--the high street in the neighborhood--with excellent pubs, restaurants, cafes, shops, etc. We only ended up going into 'downtown Glasgow' for a day, as we found the West End really enjoyable to explore and to hang out in. You can get in to downtown really easily via the subway on Byers Road though. The whole trip from our walk from the apartment to the subway into downtown Glasgow took maybe 15-20 minutes. I thought this apartment was an excellent choice and great value. I will recommend it to friends who visit Glasgow, and would definitely stay there again if I ever have the luck to revisit the city. Response: Many thanks for taking the time to submit your review. The information that you have provided in relation to the apartment and the local area will, I am sure be of assistance to potential guests. Once again, many thanks.

“Perfectly located West end apartment with excellent facilities” My Wife and I stayed for 2 nights at the G12 apartment. The flat is ideally situated for Hyndland Road and Byres Road, both within 2 and 10 minutes walk. The flat is well furnished with a comfortable double bed, well equipped kitchen and spacious lounge with flat screen tv and Internet access. The bathroom has a bath with shower, all rooms are well decorated and are bright and airy. The flat has secure access and CCTV coverage and is located in a quiet street with on street parking at no cost. we enjoyed an excellent breakfast at the nearby Epicures on Hyndland Road, there are also a number of high class shops in the area together with a deli and wine shop. Altogether a fantastic retreat in the West end of Glasow. Response: Thank you for taking the time to submit your review. I am delighted that your stay was comfortable and that you were able to enjoy the local shops and restaurants.

“Excellent apartment in a great area of Glasgow!” Me and my partner stayed at this apartment in the West End of Glasgow for just over a week in April 2011. It is very comfortable, quiet and well equipped. The area is probably the nicest in Glasgow, very green with great amenities. Byres Road (about 10 mins walk away) is a great street with everything you could need down it. The metro is also close by for quick links into the centre of Glasgow. All in all we had a very enjoyable stay in Glasgow and this apartment! Response: Thank you for taking the time to submit your comments. I am pleased you both enjoyed your stay in the apartment and in Glasgow.

“A perfect place for holidays!” I stayed in the apartment with my parents and it was just perfect. The apartment itself is very comfortable and well equipped with all what you need, suitable for a small family or group of friends. It is very close to Glasgow University and there is a train station very close, where you can easily take the train to the city centre and also to Edinburgh. On the top of this, the owner is very friendly and helpfull. We highly recommended, we will definitely choose it if we come to Scotland again! Response: Thank you for your very positive feedback. Guest's comments are very important to me. I would be delighted to have you stay in the apartment should you decide to visit Glasgow in the future.
