Marketgait Apartments is the best private student accommodation anyone can have. It is exactly in the center, all the places are very close to this apartment. Whether it is Dundee City Centre or the University of Dundee, all the important and main locations are within walking distance from Marketgait apartments. You have Lidl next to the accommodation, cross the road and you have Tesco as well. The famous Aura pub is behind the apartment. All the shopping malls are within walking distance like 7-10 mins. The famous Mc. Manus Museum is also just 5 mins walk from here. Overall this apartment is in the heart of the city. The services provided are also very good. They have a nice security system, laundry is available (costs extra, not included in bills), and a big communal room on the ground floor where you can enjoy TV, some indoor games, or a cup of coffee with your friends. They also have a sweet garden at the backside which has a separate smoking zone and at the other side table tennis. Plus point - They have an elevator as the apartment has 5 floors. Most of the student accommodations in Dundee do not have Elevators. The property is well maintained.

Very beautiful and amazing living experience! It's located in the heart of Dundee city, very convenient for transport, supermarkets, and takeaways. The room is well-designed and big enough for one person ( I live in a single studio), the kitchen area and bed area are separate, which is so essential for me to avoid oil and smoke! There is also enough storage space for long-term living, which is also good for us students I think. More importantly!!! The manager is soooo friendly and nice! After living here, I could also communicate with him and get help and repairment in time. BTW, I was impressed and touched by his effort to remember everyone's names who lived in the building. In all, good room, a good location, a very kind manager, lovely living experience.
