Empfehlenswertes, schön gelegenes und elegant eingerichtetes Aparment.
Pros:

Sehr schön zentral gelegenes Apartment, am Rande der Innenstadt. Sehr ruhiges Zimmer, gut ausgestattete Küche, tolles Bad, Kaffeevollautomat gibt es separat im Gemeinschaftaufenthaltsraum. Parkplatz hinterm Haus war auch immer frei.

Cons:

Den einen Punkt Abzug gab es, weil es trotz abgeschalteter Heizung 27 Grad in dem Apartment und insbesondere Schlafzimmer waren und auch nach langem Lüften sehr schnell wieder wurden.

Pros:

L'emplacement et les équipements.

Cons:

Aucune information sur le check-in et ne répond pas aux messages sur Booking ou par email. Quand nous sommes arrivés sur l'île, ne ne savions pas si nous aurions un lieu pour dormir...

Beautiful property with parking but, right next to a loud bar open late.
Pros:

The apartment was large and beautiful. There was a washer and dryer on-site as well as a very nice common room with coffee as well as ample parking. The apartment was clean and modern.

Cons:

We never received our email about how to access the apartment. We eventually noticed a sign at Hotel Vestmannaeyjar accross the street that said to check in there for the New Post Office and they told us how to enter the property. Also, it is located right by the Lundinn bar and because the weather was nice, people were outside talking (sometimes very loudly) until 2am or later and we had an early morning to catch the ferry back to the mainland.

Schöne Unterkunft, aber schwer zu finden
Pros:

Gute Ausstattung, sehr sauber.

Cons:

Sehr schwer zu finden und check in Anweisung nicht in der Bestätigung vorhanden. Vor Ort steht man erst mal vor geschlossenen Türen und man muss sich durch fragen.

Pretty good, would stay again.
Pros:

Very comfy bed. Very convenient location. Good parking. Blinds were pretty good, so the room was quite dark. Nice to have a kitchen.

Cons:

Shower was weak. No microwave or dishwasher. Walls were thin.
