Great location and had everything we needed for our stay.
The location (walking distance to the ferry) and flat were great: plenty of room for the three of us. We also really appreciated the nearby parking and the clear instructions on how to use it.
Oban is lovely. This place was lovely. The location, in spite of it being in a kinda non-picturesque building, was great for getting around - very close to everything we wanted to check out in town. Inside, the place was very comfortable and cute. The host was also very cool, easy to communicate with, and responsive.

Communication was fantastic even when I had quick questions. The flat was very convenient for catching the boat.
The apartment was centrally located and easy walking distance, it was warm with lots of natural light. It was exactly as described in the booking. Instructions clear to check in and Alice was super quick with communications.

Modest, clean property
The back entry was a bit dicey.
Street parking was a bit dicey.
The apartment was clean and large.
Nicely outfitted kitchen.
Easy walk to the harbor and pubs.
The beds need updating.
Alice’s place was exactly as advertised. We loved the location and amenities. It was within walking distance to everything in Oban. We would recommend people stay here when visiting the town.
My family and I enjoyed our stay in this flat. It was very homey and comfortable. It was just a few minutes walk from downtown and the shops and restaurants. It was a good place for an overnight or two especially if you have kids.
The outer entrance to the apartment does not look inviting, but as soon as you are inside, the flat is light, airy and immaculately clean. It is very well appointed for everything you might need to make you comfy, and very spacious. Good, clean, comfortable beds . Well fitted out kitchen. Would definitely stay here again if in Oban
Just right for our 3 nights and 2 days. The unit is centrally located and we could walk to everything. Check in and out was easy. Clean and furnished with everything we need.
This is a great little spot in Oban and is close to everything. Perfect for couples or small families. A solo female traveler may be more comfortable somewhere with a well lit entrance in a more populated area. The back alley with no lights or motion lights was a bit unnerving once the sun had set. Oban is a safe enough place but I travel solo often for work and would have not been comfortable here on my own. Our one night stay was perfectly fine regarding the room, amenities, etc.

It was clean but the beds were terrible. The alley way to the unit was scary!
Oban is a beautiful town with much charm. This VRBO allowed our family to enjoy a home base and explore the area. Alice was very helpful, kind, and responsive. Thank you.
Very clean, modern apartment in Oban for our one night stay having come off a late ferry. Host Alice, was excellent at keeping in touch. Access just slightly tricky with dogs but pleased to be allowed to have them in the apartment.
Good location in Oban. Walking distance to everything. Two separate bedrooms and large living area. Great communication from host!
Showerhead is not what we’re used to at home. Very small, low pressure. Not high enough to have your head under it which would make hair washing tricky since you’d have to be using one hand to hold the sprayer yourself. Luckily, I washed my hair the night before arriving.

Immaculate property and truly excellent communication from the host made our short stay even better. It’s close to all local transport snd we enjoyed this friendly town. The flat is noisy as it’s on a busy street. I had earplugs, so not a problem for me.
Highly recommend.
We only stayed for one night as a stop gap between other places but I wish we’d been able to stay longer. Alice’s flat is so warm and welcoming. It was perfect for us, had everything we needed for our toddler and our teenager which is a hard task. Alice was flexible with the check in and check out times which was a lovely gesture. The flat itself had lovely views over the town of Oban ras it’s on the second floor over the shops, it’s also very close walking distance to the main shops and the ferry terminal. Thanks Alice we’ve love our stay

Why they chose this property
It is a spacious flat which is family and pets friendily and is so centrally located in town. Ideal for guests who come by train and will take the ferry to outling islands the next day.
What makes this property unique
being one of the rare properties in Oban which is pets friendily but still very centrally located.
