Dundee City, Trades Lane Apartment, near V&A

The flat was bright and clean and had everything you could possibly need. The host was very responsive. lovely & thought of everything. There was a clothes washer, oven, drying rack, iron/ironing board, freezer, all the plates and kitchen tools you can dream of, extra paper and cleaning supplies. Would have liked better coffee maker. I bought a French Press. An espresso machine machine would have been awesome! Carpets had stains, wooden flooring would improve the look. Beds need fluffier pillows.The location was unbeatable. Everything was within walking distance. Most importantly, Marks and Spencers was 5 mins walk. Got loads of groceries there and enjoyed cooking in many nights. Also a huge Tesco super center is about 20 minutes walk towards the rail station. The city center was 5 mins, bus station 1 min, the Quayside 1 min, the Tay Riverfront promenade including the V&A museum 3 mins, rail station 10 mins. I walked to Lochee every day to visit my mum. A great Indian buffet was literally across the street called Taza. Milas Turkish cafe, my favorite place in Dundee was about 8 mins walk. Only downside - the street noise at night. Very hard to sleep. VERY. Between the intersection with two traffic lights 100 yards apart right outside the window where cars revved and raced engines non-stop, the drunks on the weekend, the bus station around the corner and the flocks of screaming seagulls all night long, sleep was a huge challenge for me. I highly recommend ear plugs.

Clean, nice friendly host, shops nearby, 2 mins walk to bus station, very convenient. Everything's good, except there're a group of teenagers shouting. Yelling and laughing at midnight.

Host was great. Very responsive to maintenance issue. Flat was lovely. The general location was great for central Dundee—walking distance to all the best bars, restaurants, attractions and transportation. But the derelict buildings and graffiti on the street were off-putting. I understand this is out of the control of the host, and we never felt unsafe. But it took away from the “luxury” experience.

It was a little scary from the outside given it’s an area undergoing renewal, but inside was just lovely and v v comfortable and well stocked, right near everything! Would stay again definitely and the owner is super!!!
