Noce location

Very comfortable property. Great location! Reminder to guests to shut street entrance to prevent nonguests from sleeping in hallway. An update for the new washer/dryer would be helpful.

Great stay in St Andrews

Great property that’s close to everything so walking is easy. Parking is a bit of an issue if you rent a car. Finding a spot and feeding the meter until 5 pm is something you must watch out for. Property is great. Bedroom and bathroom are great. Kitchen has all you need as well as a washer and dryer. Highly recommend

Tastefully furnished appartment

A very tastefully furnished little apartment in the town centre of St. Andrews. It has everything you need, but is calculated exactly for 2 people. Shops are right across the street. If you like to sleep in in the morning, this is not the place for you. Deliveries from the neighbouring shops start at 5am. Sights and the beach are within easy walking distance.
