About this property

Merchant City Hideaway

Summary:
This is a stylish, modern, and recently refurbished one-bedroom apartment in the heart of Glasgow's prestigious Merchant City. With a lovely balcony terrace with views over Virginia Court and the Merchant's architecture (Especially at night time when the decorative lights come on.)

I have all the modern-day amenities you will need with Smart TV, a Nespresso coffee machine, and good wifi to make sure you are comfortable while at home.

The Space:
Situated in Virginia Street, in the heart of Glasgow's vibrant Merchant city, you will find a range of fantastic restaurants, bars, clubs, art galleries and boutique shops for all tastes and preferences. The apartment itself is modern with comfortable, spacious rooms and a large open plan living/dining area. To compliment that we have a balcony with tables and chairs so, if you are blessed with good Scottish weather, you can enjoy a nice cold beverage out in the sun in your very own city centre escape!

Guest Access:
Guests will have access to the entire property throughout their stay. All check in details will be sent in advance via our electronic guidebook link.

The Neighborhood:
Situated in Virginia Street, in the heart of Glasgow's Merchant city, you will find a range of fantastic bars, restaurants and clubs for all tastes and preferences. Brutti Compadres is a walk around the corner and offers fantastic deals on food and great cocktails. The apartment is well located, within easy walking distance of many local theatres, museums and universities (including Strathclyde Technology and Innovation Centre).
Also located close by are several convenience stores (such as Tesco, Aldi and Sainsburys) and these will provide the main requirements for self-catering.
A trip on the open topped bus will give a great insight into the culture and history of the city. These buses can be found in George Square.

Getting Around:
Queen Street and Glasgow Central railway stations are within 10 mins and 15 mins walking time respectively. Buchanan Street Bus Station is also some 15 mins walk.
Also guest have the option of the subway (locally known as "Clockwork Orange") to travel across Glasgow. The local subway stations can be found at Buchanan Street and St Enoch. It is an experience taking a trip on the subway if the guest has time.
Taxis are plentiful in and around the area and are reasonably affordable. Uber also operate in Glasgow so if you have the app it will work for you.
Being immersed in the City Centre of Glasgow, it is very easy to walk to all major sites of the city. In addition to that Glasgow Central and Queen Street station can easily be reached walking and can take you further afield.

1st time Glasgow visitor
The property was as described. Centrally located and spacious. Be aware no starter packs are provided…no bath soap, dish detergent, washer detergent. First time we have encountered this in a VRBO!

Merchant City Stay
The location was in a section of town with a certain faded glory feel. The key pickup was an unwelcomed experience and not fully discussed in the writeup. Key was in a lock box along a fence with others. It was on a dead end street and it would be unpleasant to retrieve in the dark. The lock to the apartment t did not work properly so access was a challenge. No fun after a long day of travel. The apartment was basic but missing any welcome package with written info. All info had to be accessed on line. That is a major weakness in my view.
