“We had a very good stay in Elín´s home. A spaciois, tasteful and comfortable villa. A real architectural beauty with a big balcony, a well maintained garden and a sheltered outdoor dining area. The location is great: in a quiet area and a short walk to the outstanding swimming pool and the center of the charming town of Akureyri. Beautiful views from every window. We were seven people in the house and we all felt happy and all would like to come again. Thank you! Björg, Wouter and family from Amsterdam and a friend from Reykjavík”

Elín's reviews
As a host (2)“Elin was such a great host. she provided us with really useful information both about the house and the area - including useful practical stuff like supermarkets and where to buy local fish. She was also was great about communicating while we set the points swap up. The house itself is lovely, immaculately clean and very comfortable, with a well-equipped kitchen which was very handy as Iceland is eye-wateringly expensive when travelling with UK currency and a large family! The location is good, a short walk into town. Thank you again Elin and family for your hospitality.”
