Silver City Apartments, Historic Apartment

location is good for central Aberdeen

it was very basic inside, they have been clever with the photos they have taken, doesn't really show how small it is. Adding the historic bit is just a way of bumping the price up, someone notable to Aberdeen lived the the whole house once, long before it was turned into 6 flats.

Posizione centrale e appartamento bello e ben curato.

Le tende alle finestre erano troppo leggere e la mattina entrava molta luce, sopratutto nel soggiorno con il divano letto.

The location of this flat was perfect for seeing the Tall Ships in the harbour & for getting to pubs & restaurants. Bare in mind- it is on the top floor of a 4-story building & there's no lift, so you do get your workout! But the views at the top were lovely, from both sides of the flat & the fully opening windows allowed the sea breeze to flow through - essential, as it gets warm during the summer & most places in the UK have no air con nor fans. The bed in the bedroom was a firm & comfy double (we didn't use the fold-flat bed in the lounge) & there were night stands & lamps on either side of the bed. There is only one outlet in the bedroom, but we'd brought a power strip with US/UK adapter, so we were prepared. We did notice a UK power strip in the water boiler closet, along with iron & board & hair dryer, so contingencies were met! Kitchen had all the utensils (only 3 forks, oddly), dishes & cookware needed, along with plenty of tea, coffee, sugar & some spices. You just need to grab groceries (including cooking oil or butter) & you're set. Good size fridge (not a dorm size!) & plenty of work space. Kitchen also had opening window (lovely breeze) & a washer/dryer. It took a little searching online to figure out the dryer buttons (it's an all-in-one unit that washes & dries) but I got it, so anything that didn't dry well on the drying rack could go back into the machine. It does take a long time to dry compared to a stand-alone dryer, so be prepared to wait. Washing pods were included, as well as dish soap & hand soap :) My only wish was that there were milk packets for tea/coffee, but we bought a small bottle of milk for our 3-night stay. Bath had tub with shower over with electric shower (turn switch on in the hall!) & a bottle of hair & body wash was there, along with a small bar of hand soap. Towels included.

Small ask, but milk packets for tea & coffee Couldn't get towel warmer on in bathroom Everything else- great!

The apartment was comfortable, had all what we needed in it, and as a bonus there was tea coffee and milk left for us.

The bathroom could have been cleaner ie the bath side was visibly grimey. Appreciate not easy to clean because of the join but would have been super impressed with apartment if effort to clean was done!
