The property is situated in the West End of Dundee, in a picturesque residential area known for its beauty and cultural significance. Magdalen Green is a location that’s been known to inspire poets, writers and artists, including the famous Scottish painter James McIntosh Patrick, who lived just a few doors away from this apartment.

The city centre, which features a fantastic range of shops, restaurants, theatres and the V&A Dundee, is just a short walk away. South Baffin Street, which is just two miles away from our Books & Bridges apartment, is also a popular spot with visitors who want to pay homage to literary legend Mary Shelley who lived in the city in the early 1900s.

Summary: Very tidy and clean apartment with fantastic view of the river Tay and the rail bridge. Very quiet and no problems at all. Once you get over the stone staircase up the fairly dark entrance to the apartment, the cosy feel of the place is extremely nice. We all slept well and there was everything one needs for a nice stay.
