Situated in St Andrews in the Fife region, Luxurious apartment 10 minute walk from Old Course has a balcony and mountain views. The property is around 1.3 km from West Sands Beach, 400 metres from St Andrews University and 4.3 km from St Andrews Bay. The property is non-smoking and is located less than 1 km from St Andrews East Sands Beach.

The location is fantastic, a 5-minute stroll to the main thoroughfare and St Andrews Uni campus. The modernity and spaciousness of the flat design. The decoration. The view out of the living room landscape windows. The amenities. The flat is fully furnished with 6 each of red wine glasses, white wine glasses, copitas, cups, mugs, cutlery, pots, pans, toaster, kettle, hairdryer, etc.. Nothing was left wanting. Everything works. And everything looks nearly new. No funky odours at all. Eric, the manager, was warm and helpful. The bathrooms are clean and modern. The water pressure is great. The bedlinen and towels are clean. It is far better and lower cost than the very expensive cramped hotel room that my boy stayed at with a view of the road-that's another story. What a deal!
