Our stay was incredible. The apartment itself is beautiful, but the view/location are spectacular. With a pair of binoculars, we saw whales from our doorstep in the fjord. It was such a peaceful/meditative environment. We were lucky enough to run into Thomas, our host, who was very kind/generous with his time and suggestions. We even received an entire PDF booklet with instructions for the house, but also recommendations all around Iceland; this was a really thoughtful/helpful touch. The kitchen had everything we needed. The blackout blinds were helpful for the midnight sun. Though the location is only a short drive away from Akureyri, which is convenient for groceries, the guesthouse is otherwise tucked away from the outside world. Really and truly a perfect stay. We would definitely and absolutely stay again. Perfect landing place to visit Lake Myvátn, Dimmuborgir, Dettifoss, Goðafoss, Akureyri, Dalvík and Siglufjörður. Check-in/check-out were a breeze. Many, many thanks to Thomas + Nollur for such a once-in-a-lifetime stay.

Wonderfully located and planned house. Great view of the fjord. Would love to return back some day!

We absolutely loved our three nights here. So peaceful and relaxing. Location was great, amazing views, and comfortable beds. We would absolutely recommend staying here.

The "White's": Fantastic view on fjord and mountains Very quiet Some high quality elements in the house like inox steel working area in kitchen, high quality coffee brewer, good mattresses etc The "Black's": We requested in advance the second bedroom to be prepared and only after several reminders we received on day 3 a linen but not an offer to prepare the room for the second half of the stay, so we had to clean it on our own On the one hand a high quality coffee machine, on the other hand for a four person house only one spoon, fork etc per person, many similar examples could be provided Cleaning could have been much more thorough, in bathroom, bedrooms etc For that price I would have expected a bit of salt, pepper and sugar in the house as an absolute minimum so we had to buy that stuff although we already had completed two other stays of cottages on the island before Etc. Etc. The owners live far away in Germany/Switzerland, probably have invested a lot of money into the place but now rely on people that do not manage it as it would be their own property and only do the minimum if at all, do not replace/refill things that should obviously be done and we have never got the impression to feel at least a bit at home away from home. In summary, OK but expensive for a few hours of sleep but not a place you would like to spend a longer time.
