Great place to stay! It’s clean and spacious, and the full kitchen has plenty of pots and pans. We made lamb and soup during our stay with no issues at all :)

Very nice property, well decorated, fit for 3 people. Convenient location with restaurant and ice cream shop nearby, and downtown within short distance. Maybe can update the wifi instruction on the piece of paper (out-of-date) instead of the post on the wall. A different kind of blind will allow enjoying the street view more (since it's on ground level, need to pull up the curtain most of the time)

Very spacious and clean with a lot of amenities. It had tons of character, but the floors squeak a bit and some doors cannot close without locking. Nothing unexpected for a historical property. Very nice stay!

You can't find better apartment than this Akureyri. Historic and unique. Old relics are kept like they are in a museum. One additional bathroom would have helped for 3 bedroom apartment.

We had flies in the unit and no flyswatter or spray to get rid of them (we could not determine where they were coming in from as no windows were open). The contact phone number on the information card did not work and the email sent to the email address on the information card was not deliverable. The wifi code on the information card did not work (we were able to get it off the router). The unit was charming and the historical building is cool but it is unclear whether the keypad code is changed after guests check out. Easy walk to the shopping and restaurant area.

A very beautiful historical building. Kitchen is basic. Somehow the cooking oil was kept side by side with hand soap. At beginning I took it as dish soap and was wondering why plate was even more oily … ends up we dared not to use it as cooking oil either . Check in is a bit confusing. I did not get email instructions with in 48 hours. So I have to call the property. The key lock is painted white, same color as the wall, which took us a while to find it out.

The place was very quaint and had a lot of character. Easy to walk downtown and the view was good. Needs some attention to cleaning and maintenance. Some glasses were very dirty and there was a lot of flies. Shower glass was covered in soap scum. Pointed out a few items but got no response back. We were in a lower unit. The stairs to go to the upper unit were beside our bedroom. There was a locked door as a secondary access to these stairs. It sounded like people were coming into our bedroom when guests for the upper unit came home. It’s was very loud as people came and went. To be expected in such an old building but we could hear foot steps upstairs and talking in the unit next door. Liked the historical look of the place. Nice place but could be better with a bit of work.

Beautiful 2 night stay at the Historical house for our family of four. Conveniently located in a charming setting with walkable surroundings. Good option as home base for day trip to Húsavík just an hour away. Was spacious and had everything we needed. Also close to delicious Brynja ice cream shop!
