We liked the location of this rental. It was near downtown without being too noisy. The home itself was a bit worn down, but it did what we needed it to do for the most part, and it wasn't as expensive as many other options. Not much in the way of kitchen facilities. We liked having 3 separate bedrooms for everyone to have their own space. They were also very helpful getting back an item of clothing that we left behind.

We stayed in the Family room and it had everything we needed. Bedroom and bathroom were clean and we had towels already set out. Only challenge was the main door. It was difficult to exit (in was fine). Had to really pull to activate the magnetic lock. Other than that, it was everything we expected.

Perfect place for solo travelers looking for a place to stay for the night. Management was super responsive and the checkin process was seamless. Rooms are good size too and comfortable. Will note, you share a bathroom with other guests, but it’s a clean bathroom so I wasn’t concerned. Thank you management for a nice stay!

The apartment was clean and very spacious. The Nes had two rooms which was great for us and kids. We only stayed for a night, but otherwise, it was a nice location to visit downtown.

The heater in the living room didn’t work and the shower drain did not drain very well, so I had to keep turning off the shower to let the bottom drain.

The address listed on Expedia is NOT right. It’s actually down the street from where Expedia tells you. That confused us greatly. But this property is AMAZING. You should definitely stay here. Amazing views of the bay and the lighthouse. I bet in winter this is the best northern lights place in all of Iceland (we stayed in summer). 10 minute drive from downtown. 30 minute walk. This place is a MUST STAY! (Just know the directions are slightly off on this website)

The property is clean, but oddly arranged in layout. Some beds are in the equivalent of the dining room if you have more than 4-6 guests. Shower flooded in one bathroom. Kitchen amenities were hard to use due to lack of guidance or instructions on site.
