Large wooden shutters on either side of the window fold out to give you the privacy you need in the evenings. The mezzanine bed is extremely comfortable and there is ample storage space for clothing and suitcases in the large wardrobe as you enter on the right. In the bottom drawer inside the wardrobe you will find an iron, hairdryer and hair straighteners.

You can access the entire property As I live in London my space is managed by my neighbour and co-host Pip! The studio is on Woodlands Terrace, arguably the most stunning street in Glasgow. Situated directly on Kelvingrove Park, the river Kelvin at the foot of the park is ideal for running and walking. The Botanic Gardens are a short walk along the riverside, and the Kelvingrove Museum, Huntarian Museums, the Centre for Contemporary Art and the Museum of transport are at a stones throw. The flat is less than a 10 minute walk from the amazing restaurants and bars of Argyle street and Great Western Road. You will never be bored here!
