BEDDING & TOWELS
Bedding and towels will be provided according to the number of people who have booked the flat.
For each person staying at the flat, one bath towel and one hand towel will be provided for stays up to two nights.
For stays of three nights or more, two of each towel will be provided per person.
If you are part of a larger group, or have any specific sleeping arrangements, please inform us in your message so that we can accommodate your needs.
BINS
Refuse should be bagged and tied before disposing of it appropriately, as outlined in our welcome booklet. This allows for a smooth waste management system and ensures a clean and tidy environment for all concerned.
SERVICING
We have dehumidifiers in the living room and both bedrooms - it is important that you use these devices when cooking, ironing or drying clothes to prevent the accumulation of moisture.
For longer stays we conduct inspections of the flat approximately every fourteen days, or whenever necessary.
During these visits we aim to address any minor maintenance issues that arise. Rest assured we will provide you with prior notice of these visits and make every effort to accommodate your schedule.
HEATING & ELECTRICITY
Power is included in the cost of your stay.
To offer competitive nightly rates we have priced our accommodations based on fair power usage.
During the colder months we ensure the living room is heated to a comfortable 21 degrees Celsius, while other rooms are set a couple of degrees lower. Overnight, when guests are typically asleep, we lower the thermostat until approximately 6am.
At any point you can boost the temperature for a timed period.
SECURITY
The flat is alarmed via 'Ring' - we set the code to be the last four digits of your phone number.
An external camera monitors the main door in the close - this is normally only accessed if a concern is raised.
The residents who stay in the building will appreciate friendly visitors to the flat who show mutual respect. It is deemed deeply inappropriate to disturb the residents of the building who are going about their normal, everyday lives i.e. work etc. Guests will have their stay ended early if any disturbances are reported.
IDENTIFICATION
You will be asked to send a copy of photographic identification for each guest staying at our place via our messaging platform.
You should only ever have the number of guests you have booked for in the apartment, and these guests will have provided us with their identifications before arriving.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
If you book this flat you will be held responsible for both your own actions and the actions of your companions.
In the event that any damage occurs or if our space is neglected, you will cover the costs of repairing or replacing the affected items.
R.E.S.P.E.C.T
We kindly request that you leave the flat in the same neat, clean, and tidy condition as it was when you arrived - this allows our prices to be competitive.
We expect you to leave the flat, more or less, as you found it - at the end of your stay our cleaner carries out a basic service that includes washing used towels and bed linen, with some hygiene cleaning in the toilet and kitchen (we have budgeted for this in your costings).
The cleaner does NOT pick up your rubbish, dispose of your belongings or remove stains from furnishings - we do not plan or budget for this type of cleaning and the £250 bill we receive for a domestic cleaner will be charged to you.
We do NOT wash or put away any of your used crockery, pots, pans or utensils. We also do not expect to clean the oven, hob, microwave or fridge freezer after your stay - we do not plan or budget for this type of cleaning and the £250 bill we receive for a kitchen porter will be charged to you.
NO PETS
We are NOT pet friendly.
This policy is in place to ensure a pleasant experience for all our guests.
Accommodating pets requires a more extensive and unattainable cleaning schedule, which would compromise our availability and quality of service. Quick turnarounds can also result in unpleasant odours lingering in the property.
You will be charged all losses incurred as a result of you bringing an animal to the flat - this could involve associated damage, cleaning costs or even accommodating future guests elsewhere until the matter is resolved.
Our goal is to provide a comfortable and clean environment for all our guests, and we appreciate your cooperation in maintaining this standard
NO PARTIES
Our license does not permit gatherings or parties.
NO SMOKING
Our license, and local law, forbids smoking and vaping in or around the property. Smoking within the premises will result in a fine of £2500, which may be increased depending on any associated damages.
We expect and appreciate respectful guests, however not all individuals are aware of common courtesy towards our belongings hence the need to emphasise these rules.
Thank you for your cooperation in respecting our guidelines.

Billy was very friendly, flexible, and pro-active with his messages. The flat is just as described and it is close to the city center and university. It is also close to the Canal train station, so reaching Glasgow central from there was a breeze. Billy provided all necessities and a bit more. I felt right at home and would recommend the flat also for longer stays.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this flat in Paisley with my grandfather. From the outset, the experience was top-notch. Our host demonstrated unparalleled hospitality, ensuring that our stay was not only comfortable but truly memorable. Their responsiveness to our queries and needs was impressively swift, making us feel valued and well-taken care of. The property itself was a delightful blend of Scottish charm and modern amenities. My grandfather and I left with cherished memories and immense gratitude for our host's kindness and dedication. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Paisley!

Billy was a very welcoming host. We had to find temporary accommodation following water damage to our house. Billy was very understanding and went out his way to make sure we had everything we needed. The flat is very well appointed with everything you would need for a short or long stay (and we were there for seven months). The flat is very central with all necessities within walking distance. The estate is quiet with plenty parking and kind and friendly neighbours. Overall, we could not thank or recommend Billy highly enough.
