Lade Braes Apartments - No 22D

The modern apartment was beautiful (and I'm not a fan of modern) Lovely high perspective down onto the street or across to other old terraced buildings. Close these curtains at night for privacy, but you can keep others open. Fabulous kitchen with bar island or dining area; everything you need. Bath and shower options plus comfortable beds. Great location just to stroll into town or anywhere else. I've stayed in a wide variety of hotels and apartments in St Andrews. This was one of my favourites. I would happily return.

The directions to the below level garage. It said you can park outside while you get the keys from the door lock. Thus, I ended up along the narrow lane at the front (a walking lane only) and scraped my car reversing out, something I've never done in 5 years of having it. Clearer instructions to go down the hill slowly, slightly past the apartment block then turn in behind it and park the car, briefly, to get the keys from the upper level front door. That would help - as did the lovely wee neighbour. Secure electric parking.

Surprised how close it was to downtown.

The address was hard for taxis drivers to find but we made it work

Beautiful bright and clean. Nice furniture and quality bedding and towels

It was very warm in the unit. No air conditioning. A few fans, but not enough. The doors were heavy and good quality, it would have been nice to a proper door stopper

The location is great, fairly quick and easy to walk to restaurants and shopping. The view from the living room is nice on a sunny day.

Difficult to unlock and lock front door at first until you learn the trick. Must lug suitcases up stairs. Furnishings are cheap, sofa not very comfortable, no drawers for clothes, inadequate storage space in bathrooms, etc. Awkward, odd layout of rooms No counter space in bathrooms Shower small and No shelf for bath products in shower Towel warmer and exhaust fan in small bathroom dont work Broken window in bedroom with Tacky looking cover. Workers arrived unannounced on Monday to replace the window but we had to tell them to come back after we leave because we didnt want the disruption and mess - poor coordination. No blackout curtains, only thin drapes throughout. Bedroom door squeaks, needs maintenance. No balcony Automatic closers on all the doors is inconvenient. Apartment gets Very hot….. No AC and windows do not open very much and have no insect screens. Cleaning was not great, we found hairs, a used q-tip and coins in the floor, just poor cleaning effort. Unclear where to put recycling. No dedicated charging station, we had to charge everything on kitchen counter. Building frequently shakes from heavy traffic on adjacent main thoroughfare.
