Apartment would have been great when it was first kitted out, but it all feels a bit shabby now. There was an issue with the washing machine not working when we arrived, which was sorted by email communication explaining how to reset the trip switch. However, we didn’t trust the machine not to completely stop with all our clothes in, so only washed a load of socks. The apartment is spacious, though we didn’t use the upper level as there was only 2 of us. The ladder is quite steep. The apartment was very warm even with the windows open, and the nylon sheets really didn’t add to a comfortable night’s sleep. The kitchen facilities would be good if you were self catering, and there was a dishwasher with a couple of dishwasher tablets provided. Akureyri had some nice restaurants. Cafe Berlin is just at the back of the apartment, and breakfast was good (and a nice change from the hotel buffets!).

Place is ok but a few annoying things. Finding the place was not so easy. Also unexpectedly had stairs leading up to the apartment. The bed was not comfortable and pretty noisy. Blinds really don’t block out enough light. And there was no shampoo or shower wash. Pretty basic miss.

They had forgotten to send me check in instructions, but the host responded very quickly when I reached out. There’s only street parking available, but that’s pretty common in this area. Overall, the place was cute and clean. If you’re picking it just for the laundry though, don’t…. It’s one of the eco-friendly ones and my laundry took about seven hours for half a load.

Lovely place right in the downtown area. Had everything we needed for our stay. Kids loved the loft and getting to climb the latter just be cautious as it is steep!! Great place we enjoyed!

Amazing flat!

Great apartment! Centrally located on the main drag in Akuryeri and right next to this fabulous cafe called Berlin! The flat itself was spacious yet cozy, and after traveling for a few days it was a nice place to relax and watch movies while it snowed outside. The beds and linens were very comfortable, and there was off-street parking in a private lot. Would definitely book again! Wish we stayed longer than 1 night!

This property was excellent value and perfect for our stay, centrally located in Akureyri. The property has a well equipped kitchen, lovely bathroom and very comfortable beds. Communication with the host was excellent. Our only improvement would be curtains in the bedroom as the blinds don't keep out the outside light. Overall we were very satisfied with our stay and would happily return.

Great location, spacious, easy parking, easy checkin and check out with key box and instructions.

Husband is a bit noise sensitive and you can hear neighbors/outside noise but this is city living. I like dark rooms when sleeping and the apartment didn’t have black out curtains. Otherwise the apartment had everything if you were going to cook and it could easily fit more than 2 people.

The apartment is nice and clean. It is located in a very convenient area. However. We received the wrong check-in information with wrong key box code and video. We spent more than 1 hour trying to find the building in the video that were sent to us. But the video was misleading and the code was wrong. It was a horrible experience . We had to make multiple calls to solve the problem.

Nice apartment on main street in Akureyri

There were three of us in a one-bedroom deluxe apartment (with a loft bed). Our daughter had the loft, which had three beds on the floor. She had to climb the steep ladder to accessed the loft. It has a low ceiling as the loft is sloped; therefore, one has to be really careful. This is OK for a young person, but not for elderly folks. But they also have a double sofa bed, if one doesn’t want to climb the ladder.

There is no front desk at this property. I think the communication with the owners is not good. The check-in is at 5 PM, which I think is too late. We talked to the maid around 2 PM and she said that the room would be available at 4 PM, which it was. The instructions were not clear: again, we had to ask the maid for help in getting the key from the box. Closing the door was also tricky, and we had to leave the apartment unlocked. Good that crime is rare in Iceland! At the end of the day, we asked another maid, and she showed us the trick to lock the door. All these quirks should be explained in the email.

The apartment itself has been remodeled recently and looks nice. Their website says “full kitchen.” But one major drawback is the absence of a microwave oven, which is absolutely needed. My daughter had a hard time with the washer/dryer combo. It would be nice to have brief instructions available for foreigners that aren’t used to European style appliances.

This apartment was a good value. We enjoyed our stay 3-night stay.

Great Space!

The property was very easy to find with the provided instructions/photos. We used the paid parking lot across the street (it's free after 4 PM).
The apartment was very spacious with lots of natural light. It was comfortable and very clean, and centrally located to several restaurants and attractions.
We booked the apartment to do laundry during our 2-week trip. Being from the States, we had a hard tine figuring out how to use the washer/dryer combo, and ended up just hanging our clothes to dry (which ultimately took a couple days).
My only suggestion would be to maybe have brief instructions available for foreigners that aren't used to a washer/dryer combo. Otherwise, everything was perfect!

Central apartment

The apartment was lovely, if a bit noisy. Communication was very bad, received instructions which were out of date. Didnt have access code to get in. Number i had was for previous owners. Met some other guests who had the same issue. The listing suggests there is parking with the apartment- not the case. Recent changes mean parking is charged for between 10am and 4pm. Access to street outside of apartment is restricted through the day. There is a car park through the alley access, which is very close but has to be paid for. Free parking is available at the Hof which is a few minutes walk away. Very happy with location, near all the main sites - whale watching, the church, shops and botanical gardens. Enjoyed the stay once the chaos was sorted. I would say the loft\"bedroom\" is only suitable for older children.

This place was amazing. We were arriving late and I called (the phone numbers on google, website and expedia for here should be upgraded but that's minor. A guy named Gudbjorn answered. I wasn't receiving his emails for the check in instructions (due to an issue with my email). He was so patient and eventually sent me a text with all the info. He was amazing (thank you). The room was so clean and spacious; in the heart of city; close to everything we needed. For more pics and videos of this property and the surrounding area check out @travelingcop on Instagram

Very nice flat, recently renovated, and a nice change from tiny hotel rooms. Three of the beds are up in a loft accessible by a very steep ladder. Super convenient downtown location. Only quibble is it is in an alleyway and sometimes there's noise from other buildings if you have the windows open. With them closed (most times in Iceland probably but we were there in a July wsrm spell) it's quiet.

Clean apartment with free parking across the street (behind). We were a little surprised that the sleeping arrangements included a loft; so there was a bedroom with a double bed and then a loft, accessible by ladder, with three mattresses above. Fortunately, I'm still limber enough to climb ladders and it made me feel like a kid again (with my 86 year old father and 79 year old mother in the room). Additionally, there was a skylight that I could open a bit for fresh air, so I ended up really enjoying the two nights we spent there (I slept *very* comfortably).

Check in was handled in the store front below, where I also bought a nice Icelandic wool sweater and some socks for a discount (you get the discount for staying in their property). Check in was fast and easy, as was check out (just returning the keys). Would definitely stay again.

Centrally located modern apartment

The shop people were very nice and checked us in and explained where to park which was not far and where to buy food. Apartment very central. Modern clean and quiet bedrooms. Robes a nice touch. Had washing machine with soap which was great. Unfortunately the apartment guide with wifi password and simplified washing machine instruction was missing and we had to ask for tea towels and washing up cloths. There was no microwave which might be a problem for some.
