8/10 Good
"Das Haus ist direkt am Meer (Ende Fjord) und sehr ruhig gelegen. Eine wirklich tolle Lage! Es ist ca. 30 Min von Akureyri entfernt, daher sollte man beim Einkaufen gut planen. Insgesamt hat es uns sehr gut gefallen. Von Außen, vor allem im Eingangsbereich, macht das Haus keinen so guten Eindruck da die Vortreppe etwas beschädigt ist. Innen ist es aber einwandfrei und wie beschrieben sehr gut ausgestattet. Auch Handtücher waren einige vorhanden was super war. Es gibt eine Waschmaschine, einen Trockner und eine Spülmaschine, alle Geräte funktionierten einwandfrei. Tabs für die Spülmaschine waren vorhanden, Waschmittel hatten wir mitgebracht. Bei Fragen war die angegebene Kontaktperson gut erreichbar. Insgesamt kann ich das Haus mit gutem Gewissen weiterempfehlen."
