Reviews
Not worth the price. 1 bathroom and toilet for 4 rooms. No dark blind in rooms - so, if you are like me good luck getting any shut eye in 24 hour days in Iceland. Rude host - does not know how take feedback and has communication issues.
We had wonderful stay. Stefan and Skuli were kind hosts and everything was easy. We stayed as a family of 8 and had the entire apartment, 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. The kids had a great time roaming the land and exploring around the creek. It’s only 15 minutes from the town but feels a world way, peaceful and quiet.
Stefan has toiletries and pantry essentials available, everything was clean and spotless. It was our favorite stay in Iceland!
The apartment was on the ground floor, comfortable and very clean. There were 2.5 bathrooms (one full with shower and tub, one full with shower, and one with just toilet). It was great for us traveling with elderly parents who were moving slow and walking with a walker. The seating and dining area was small but very adequate. The hallways were wide and the bathroom with shower was large enough for the one of us on a walker to get around very comfortably. Highly recommend for anyone needing a place that is walker-friendly.
