Aberdeen influencer stays at Greig Court
Earlier this month, Natasha Calder – who was named by The P&J as one of “11 of the biggest social media influencers in Aberdeen and the north-east” in April – stayed there with three of her pals when in town celebrating May Day.
Describing the flat as a “hidden gem”, she gave her fans a tour of the “cute apartment” during her weekly vlog.
On the property’s Booking.com profile, it states that “this property will not accommodate hen, stag or similar parties”, but stated that “couples particularly like the location”, with it being rated 8.4 out of 10 for a two-person trip.
And people seemed to agree online, with Dwayne saying: “Place was immaculate, great location, great views, well worth the money, very impressed with the décor. 5/5 stars.”

However, despite the positive reviews, some people were not too impressed with the historic building – which dates back to 1977 and was nearly A-listed by Historic Environment Scotland – or the area.
Jennifer from Australia said: “The area is very run down. The building is very run down. The smell of cigarette smoke in the hallway.”
