It is walkable to the university campus, situated in a beautiful neighborhood, walkable to the dining and shopping in Bridge of Allen, a short drive into Stirling. We appreciated the fully stocked kitchen with anything needed, and the thoughtful items Jane left upon our arrival (bread, butter, milk, granola, sparkling water, and the delicious homemade bread). Anything needed for a self catered stay is here. We would gladly stay in Jane’s flat again, if we are fortunate to return. ##### Tracie Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Louise C. 29 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fab weekend Absolutely beautiful place to stay!
