It is a convenient location in Merchant city because everything is so close that you don't need to have a car to go to bara, restaurants, supermarkets, parks, etc.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

The manager has been really helpful by replying all my emails

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

It is not bad but I wish they could have sent a manual of the electrodomestics and the report inspection before getting there to have time to read it calmly because it is chaotic organizing everything

Location is probably one of the best I got to live. It is also very quiet and peaceful, yet everything you need is within a walking distance. Overall, very pleased!

Candleriggs the "IN " place to be.

Candleriggs, G1

Dec 2025

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Candleriggs is situated directly in the town centre with everything needed very close at hand. Supermarkets, restaurants, postal services, typical high street stores, and chemists are all within a very short walk. The train station and the Subway are in close proximity and bus stops are situated along the pavements. Car parking is also available if needed. The bustle on the street is very friendly. Glasgow is famous for its welcome.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Efficiently and promptly and always in a very courteous manner.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

To date we have not encountered any particular problems with either the apartment or staff.
