    We loved this flat. The location was spot on to allow us to explore Lerwick. Not so close to the centre to be affected by noise and traffic but close enough for a short walk away from the centre. There were some nice treats to welcome us, bread...

A very central and fully refurbished apartment on the first floor, built in 1871 and tastefully modernised but still keeping its cosy atmosphere. Situated in the old part of town close to all town centre amenities, 300m to pubs, shops, restaurants etc. Private off road parking and secluded entrance. There is a garden that guests are welcome to use. Fully equipped with everything you need including wifi and Netflix for chill time.
Hello. Thank you for viewing our listing. I am a native Shetlander and have lived here for the majority of my life, apart from the periods of time I have spent traveling the world, experiencing unfamiliar cultures and eating my way around all delights regions have to offer. I love to travel but equally love it here in Shetland, my home, where I am proud to belong. I really enjoy meeting people and I greatly appreciate those who make the effort to visit our special little island and sharing stories. I love to walk and enjoy beautiful landscapes, watch nature, camp and spend time outdoors. I love getting out on the sea with my boat and catching my dinner or escaping the world when I put my leg over my motorbike. I have pretty much been everywhere on Shetland apart from a few of the uninhabited islands which I plan to visit in the coming years. Please get in touch for anything you need to know, I will be glad to help.
Friendly neighbourhood where most people have stayed for years meaning there is a very small turnover of properties. The area is very green as it is part of the older bit of town with larger gardens. You can walk anywhere around the main parts of Lerwick from here no problem. It is recommended to have your own vehicle if you want to explore further as the public transport is limited.
