This flat is in an out-of-the way place north of Akureyri, on the water, with gorgeous views. Akureyri and its markets are 30 min away, so please plan your food accordingly. There is one small market just two blocks away (walking distance) but it closes around 5 or 6, so once it's closed, food is far enough away to become a hassle.
The house itself is very comfortable and well-equipped, with a large dining table and great kitchen. Because the house is all brick, there is no wifi downstairs in the living room, which may cause challenges with those who want to stream entertainment there. The wifi signal is fine upstairs in the dining/bedroom area (maybe this is an area the owner could fix, but let's be honest, we're not going here to watch TV!).
The location is great, it's definitely super-quiet, even though the area is lived-in and you see neighbors going about their business in their beautiful houses.
One awkward thing was that to dispose of the trash, the only place the owner has for this house is on his other property about 10 minute drive away.
The rest of the checkout list was also a little bit involved, with some things on there I would have expected to be done by the cleaning people rather than me. Nothing major, but on the list was to strip the bed, adjust thermostats, take the sorted trash out 10 min away... I don't want to sound whiny, but with 200 euro linen & cleaning fees, this felt excessive.
Ultimately, this is a nice place, and can be a comfortable out-of-the-way stay in northern Iceland.
