The accomodation was clran and contained all we needed for a comfortable stay. Contact with staff was minimal but satisfactory.
The heat of the shower water wasnt great.
The lighting was inadewuate
Parking was free and close. Easily walkable to the downtown area. Not staff on site other than cleaning crew. Entry was done with codes given through email.
A reasonably priced small apartment in the center of the town. Easily walkable to all destinations in town. Ideal location for day trips to areas around Akureyri.

Okay to stay . Parking is behind the property which is inconvenient if with family and few bags.
Exterior is ordinary, but interior was surprisingly modern, spacious and pleasant. Location is a few blocks from downtown and near walking trails to the water.
Despite initial skepticism, renting at this location exceeded my expectations. The space was fantastic, and there were plenty of affordable dining options in the vicinity.
