“Mixed feelings”
The main bed was comfortable, the kitchen large and useful. The whole apartment is very spacious. Big table to eat and play board games. Supermarket and liquor store at one minute walking distance. Apartment owner also runs a cafe-shop below where you can get a nice coffee and buy boardgames, books and knitting equipment.

“A cozy and well-equipped apartment true to its name”
The apartment is very cozy and really lives up to its name (“The Writer’s Nest”). Although the house isn’t new, it has every service you might need and is very spacious for three people. There is on-site parking, and from there you can easily reach the main tourist attractions.

“Really nice place, great location to explore, perfect location to catch mid-night sun.”
The flat is in a great location. Fantastic to explore and catch the mid-night sun. All amenities like super market, pharmacy, fuel within walking distance. All in all fantastic. We got a bit confused by the key boxes and which floor we were meant to be on. Lead to a confusion between ourselves, the host and booking.com. The host seems to be local was quick to sort out any issues. So book with confidence.

“Cosy quiet place close to the waterfalls”
Really nice apartment in the little town, just next to a very nice and delicious cafe from the same owners. The place is also very close to the waterfalls. The apartment is very spacious, the kitchen well equipped, comfortable beds and quiet surroundings. The only thing that could be improved is the shower, and a couple of hooks in the bathroom would be good, other than that everything is great and we had a very good stay!
