The one on the water
Ness Accommodation let two flats in Inverness, and they answer different questions. Shore Street is the one on the water, on the shore front of the Moray Firth at the harbour north of the middle of town, and the owners say the kitchen window looks out at the harbour and the mountains behind it. May Court, the other flat, is inland in a courtyard in the centre and comes with a parking space of its own.
Access is through the main door on the street into a large entrance hallway with a staircase up to the flat, and the owners make a point of that hallway being big enough to store luggage and bikes. Upstairs the living area is open plan, with a corner sofa, a dining table and chairs, and a flat screen television carrying sports, films, box sets, and foreign channels.
The two bedrooms are a double and a twin with two proper single beds, and the one bathroom is large, with a corner bath and an overhead shower. Both are the difference from May Court, where the second bedroom has bunk beds and the bathroom is a compact shower room, so four adults sharing are better off here. What Shore Street gives up in exchange is the parking, which is free on the street outside and nothing on the premises.

Location
Where it puts you
Shore Street is at the harbour on the northern edge of Inverness, and the owners describe the flat as within walking distance of the city centre. Beyond that they point at taxis, buses, and trains.
The water in front of the flat is the Moray Firth, which holds the resident bottlenose dolphins, watched from Chanonry Point on the Black Isle. Culloden battlefield is signposted off the B9006 out of the city.
