There is also a great play area for children. The park is home to the People's Palace and Winter Gardens, where you can discover fascinating aspects of Glasgow life, the magnificent terracotta Doulton Fountain and multi-coloured facade of Templeton’s Carpet Factory, designed in imitation of the Doge’s Palace in Venice.

Excellent flat, well equipped and very friendly and helpful owners. Ideal situation for exploring Glasgow which is rich in buildings, museums, galleries and gardens. The flat is close enough to central and East side of city and near Glasgow Green and Palace gardens for walking and a drink at the West beer hall.5 minute walk to several buses into the Centre and 10 minute walk to the subway which can take you round to the West side of the city.

Besides how central and comfortable the apartment was, I'd say the best part was the communication with the host and myself. Marcia was very responsive making the booking, a few days before, and whenever we asked for some suggestion during our stay. There is a very organized book with suggestions, maps and menus. Marcia and Kevin could not have been nicer. The apartment has great parking and a small grocery store we used three times. Get Mackie's Ice Cream! The kitchen was clean and had everything you could want for a short stay. The bathroom was spacious, squeaky clean with plenty of hot water. My only problem was how to get out of the comfy sofa in front of the big tv and go see more of wonderful Glasgow. Don't skip this one. Stay here!

Place was clean and nice! Close to the city but not too busy! Heaps of parking out the front. Would recommend!

The location was great, 15 minute walk to City Center. The owner was nice and very helpful. However, there are some things that need attention in the flat. The bathroom floor has some squishy places where the floor was not properly installed. The kitchen table has bad places in it. I felt like the lock on the front door is a fire hazard because you lock it with a key and in case of fire, might make it difficult to get out. We left the key in the door just for that emergency. There is no electrical plug in the bath room so I could not use the mirror to dry my hair. The beds were comfortable and the living room was bright and the sofa was comfortable. We had a great time in Scotland but think some things needs to be addressed.

The apartment was clean and bright In Gorbals area of Glasgow. We were only given an approx location when we booked which on reflection was not very helpful as it was further than we thought. We didn’t walk into the centre as it was too far through demolition sites and busy roads. Uber and taxi were fine to collect and drop us. There is a supermarket close by.

Loved the area - proximity to Merchant Square is good (walkable). The unit itself is bright and sunny and comfortable and the hosts were excellent - everything was just perfect!
