Really good apartment with views over Oban. The flat had everything we needed for a comfortable stay- the kitchen was well equipped and local stores close by for us to stock up during the week we were there.The bathroom was very clean with a good shower.The owner was very helpful before and during the stay, answering any questions we had, very promptly.We wouldn’t hesitate booking this particular flat again in order to enjoy Oban and surrounding area, and hopping over to Mull on day trips
