We really enjoyed our stay at this place. The room was perfect for three people — very clean, comfortable, and the bathroom was absolutely beautiful. The host was very kind and went out of his way to provide us with forks, spoons, and a can opener so we could have our meal in the room. We really appreciated the thoughtfulness and hospitality. Would definitely recommend this place!

We were there for 1 night as a group of 6 people. Wonderful location! Very close to the center, walking distance to everything. The apartment itself is on the 3rd floor, there is no elevator. The apartment is very elegant, refined, clean and comfortable. Sometimes it was funny because it's on the top floor and there are slopes and tall people had to be careful with the slopes, but it wasn't a problem for us. The apartment has everything you need for your stay. We really enjoyed our stay there, thank you. We recommend!

We were very happy with our stay in Akureyri. It was close to a small grocery store and easy to find on the map. The room was very comfortable with good heating and hot water. The kitchen had everything you needed with nice coffee, utensils and appliances.

This lovely guesthouse is a gem. The rooms are clean, warm and cosy. But the best part of the stay is the lovely host Elisabeth. She offered to prepare us dinner, because the stay is away from any other restaurants. She allowed us access to the washer and drier, so we could clean and dry our bathing suits and towels. All the little handmade details, the selected decorations and dishes give this place a special soul. The breakfast was delicious also, with everything you could want. Would really recommend this stay.

Our cabin was the heaven we were hoping to find in Iceland. All the way up north, just next to Akureyri, the most northern big town in Iceland, yet far enough from it to enjoy the peace and quiet nature and the fjord. In the mornings we were woken up to the endless whiteness coming from the snow and the ice in the valley visible from our cabin. We enjoyed cooking in the shared kitchen in the main house, having the morning coffee in the hot tub outside on -15, and then taking off to our day trips anywhere. The proximity to Akureyri allowed us to enjoy some northern city vibes too, with the possibility to have drinks or a meal in one of the gorgeous places there! The slopes were also very close, just a short 10-12 drive from our cabin. The highlight was the nighttime: we were blessed to have the Aurora Borealis almost every night, and our stay was perfect for it: almost no light pollution at all, an outdoor hot tub that allowed us to enjoy the lights soaked in hot water with some drinks, silence everywhere, just wonderful and out of this world experience! We loved also our hosts, they were amazing and always available, thank you Andrea and Christian with your family, for everything! Highly recommend this place for a northern paradise vacation!
