It was very convenient for using public transport, just steps from bus station and info center. The host kindly left the lights on for our late arrival. Nothing fancy but a good solid base with good wifi, warm and comfy. ##### Alison Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carlotta 21 May 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Perfect for our short break in Orkney ! Superb location in the centre of Kirkwall. Perfect for the two of us. There was an allocated parking spot for this particular apartment just out side of the front door, but someone else was parked in it for our entire stay. This is just a comment, not a complaint, as there was additional free parking near by which we used instead. ##### Carlotta Stayed 4 nights in May 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 27 Aug 2019 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities L'appartamento era in posizione centralissima; pulitissimo e con tutti i confort; soltanto qualche problema per arrivare, nonostante il navigator, a destinazione, mancando una precisazione quanto all'esatta ubicazione. A me è stata d'aiuto una gentilissima persona del luogo, che ci ha condotto all'indirizzo e poi l'altrettanto vicino che iccupava l'appartamento sovrastante. Grazie e ciao ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter, Australia. 30 Sept 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect for 1 or 2\.
