Lovely flat, very well presented with everything we needed for an excellent stay. Close to the centre of town with easy access to restaurants ( booking advisable ), shops, ferries etc.Parking can be difficult but we found Bredalbine Street to be excellent for overnight, and close. ( Free after 5:30 and before 9 ) If you paid before 5:30 the excess was carried forward to the next morning.Seafood around the town is absolutely top class. The Green Shed on the pier by the ferry especially good value if al fresco !

We had such an awesome time in Oban! Mario was an excellent host and quick to help us in any way he could.The apartment was a home away from home with loads of space, beds that were comfy and clean. A lovely living room to just hang out and chat and a massive well equipped kitchen so we could cook our breakfasts and the odd dinner.

Fabulous house and fabulous views. Flexible to meet us on arrival. Very friendly and helpful host. The house has everything you need and a well equipped kitchen. Double bedroom and bathroom on ground floor was perfect for my sister that struggles with stairs. Spacious double room upstairs and twin room upstairs with good hanging and storage units. Lovely upstairs bathroom. Location is perfect for walking around the town and car parking on the same street or very close to the property, Great views from the windows. I would recommend this house to visitors. The power in the shower is not great but well maintained. There were no instructions for accesing Wifi. I would suggest disposing of left over out of date and opened condiments such as mustard, tomato sauce etc that were in the kitchen cupboard.
