About our home
ONLY OPEN FOR DIRECT SWAP WITH ICELAND, DENMARK OR CANARY ISLAND . No Point swap.
This is our main home. It´s an old house which we are renovating in steps. It´s in a walking distance from a food shop and the city center is about 7 min by foot. 6 people can sleep here in 3 bedrooms (We have 4 bedrooms but normally we just lock one for our stuff if you do not need it ). Open kitchen/living room area, one bathroom. The style is arty, simple and raw. We like retro things. My husband is an carpenter and he love recycling, he f.ex. made a tree house in our garden just from recycled timber.
Big garden where you can pick fresh salad for your dinner, playhouse for children, sandbox, swings and trampoline.
Akureyri town is a perfect place for exploring the North region.
Possible day trips are f.ex to Mývatn, Jarðböðin (the blue lagoon of the North) and Dettifoss the most powerful waterfall in Europe. Hlíðarfjall the best skiing area in Iceland is in Akureyri. www.hlidarfjall.is
