We absolutely adored this place! It's a nice mix of historic and modern design. It's extremely comfortable and a great home base in Akureyri. I wish we had stayed another night or two. Next trip!

We had flies in the unit and no flyswatter or spray to get rid of them (we could not determine where they were coming in from as no windows were open). The contact phone number on the information card did not work and the email sent to the email address on the information card was not deliverable. The wifi code on the information card did not work (we were able to get it off the router). The unit was charming and the historical building is cool but it is unclear whether the keypad code is changed after guests check out. Easy walk to the shopping and restaurant area.

A very beautiful historical building. Kitchen is basic. Somehow the cooking oil was kept side by side with hand soap. At beginning I took it as dish soap and was wondering why plate was even more oily … ends up we dared not to use it as cooking oil either .
Check in is a bit confusing. I did not get email instructions with in 48 hours. So I have to call the property. The key lock is painted white, same color as the wall, which took us a while to find it out.

The place was very quaint and had a lot of character. Easy to walk downtown and the view was good.
Needs some attention to cleaning and maintenance. Some glasses were very dirty and there was a lot of flies. Shower glass was covered in soap scum.
Pointed out a few items but got no response back.
We were in a lower unit. The stairs to go to the upper unit were beside our bedroom. There was a locked door as a secondary access to these stairs. It sounded like people were coming into our bedroom when guests for the upper unit came home. It’s was very loud as people came and went.
To be expected in such an old building but we could hear foot steps upstairs and talking in the unit next door.
Liked the historical look of the place. Nice place but could be better with a bit of work.

Beautiful 2 night stay at the Historical house for our family of four. Conveniently located in a charming setting with walkable surroundings. Good option as home base for day trip to Húsavík just an hour away. Was spacious and had everything we needed. Also close to delicious Brynja ice cream shop!

Would highly recommend staying here! Very cool, interesting old building within easy walking distance from the main restaurant/shopping area. Very well decorated and we were very comfortable here. Comfy beds and good views as well
Really nice old building, easy to park, close to town. But the WiFi didn’t work, attempted to contact the property manager but no response. Also the gas stove didn’t work so we could not prepare food.

Convenient location and a cool looking old house. However the walls are paper thin, I mean being able to hear the person in the other room crumpling paper or moving blankets. The kitchen was odly stocked (no deep bowls for cereal, no scissors etc), and there was a posted cleaning fee, but nothing provided to clean with.
Also no laundry faciltiies in a longer term stay isnt great either.
Also in places the paint was chipping, and the upstairs neigbors (different ones) woke us up all week, and downstairs too

I just wouldn’t recommend if you’re traveling with older people or with kids because of the stairs. Other than that, it’s perfect!

This was an incredibly charming renovated space with gorgeous layout and a full kitchen. My only caveat is that I am immune compromised and putting incense sticks out in the living room made it unpleasant. They were completely unnecessary
