It's in a quiet location, easy to find. Clean and tidy, the mattress of the bed is amazing. The little garden behind the house is very cute and is lovely to sit there to enjoy the view and to listen all the birds on the water. The owner lady is very welcoming and she bakes her own bread what is served at breakfast! Highly recommended!

“Extremely modern and clean guesthouse, welcoming host, attention to detail with features is apparent”
This was my favorite stay in all of my Iceland trip. The guesthouse was very modern, exceptionally clean, and the attention to detail in the amenities was apparent. The host Sonya was extremely friendly and the breakfast included homemade breads. Common areas were comfy as well.
