    There was no soap for the shower.

    The place was huge and centrally located. It’s also family run and we went on their whale watching tour as well through the company they own (Friends of Moby Dick)

    Lovely Apartmuent in Historic Building
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Three-Bedroom Apartment - Second Floor
    • Stayed 1 night

    See above.

    The apartment is in a historic schoolhouse building from the early 1900s and has a lot of character and charm. It was large, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The decorations were lovely. The kitchen, living areas, and bedrooms were huge and the host thoughtfully stocked the kitchen with everything you might need. The neighborhood is very quiet and the beds were perfect. We also appreciated the fresh flowers in the hallways and entrance hall of the building. We learned that Husavik is a "hot" area where the homes are heated with geothermal water. Accordingly, and when you are taking a shower--you can smell a strong sulfur or "rotten eggs" odor. It is safe to drink. However, and while we only smelled it in the bathroom--it was very strong. Personally, I think the host of this property should put a note of explanation in the welcoming paperwork to remind and reassure guests that this is normal and not a problem.

    The floating floor creaked, and couldn't open a bedroom window for ventilation. No latch, needs replacing.

    Quiet, well furnished & comfortable. Clean Very nice indeed. Very nice indeed.

    I should have paid more attention to past visitors' comments on how steep the stairs are. They can be tricky if you are carrying a lot of bags or aren't in great shape. And there could have been brighter lights (something we find is an issue at just about every place we visit). Note that we visited the apartment during Iceland's winter, so it was dark outside 18 hours a day.

    The apartment is clean and well-located. It has a fully equipped kitchen and comes with bed linens. There's a TV you can use to connect to your subscribed services.

    All was perfect!

    "Wow" place!! It is a former primary school from 1900, restored. The apartment was superb! Well equipped, all you needed was there and we felt better than at home :) A friend of mine loved the couch and the blanket so much that she slept there all night (and later bought the same blanket). Very cozy and comfortable place :) we do recommend staying there!
