Nice farm location. Room was simple, but clean. Host was charming and the food was very good. I would recommend having them cook your dinner. Tasty and reasonably priced for Iceland.

I needed a place for me and my dog to sleep for the night since I was driving really far. I could book this only one hour in advance and it's pet friendly! Other guests took very well to seeing my dog with me, everything was perfect!

    E18 Apartments is the most favored homestay during my trip to Iceland. extremely pleased with the layout and decoration of the room, which is overall extremely clean, tidy, and cozy. The kitchen is fully equipped with all necessary appliances, and there is free parking space around the property. highly recommend this accommodation to travelers visiting Iceland.

    In a newer part of Akureyri, with good views from terrace across the fjord, this modern warm and stylish apartment is great value and has plenty of room. Excellent cooking and washing facilities, easy parking and a great host. There's outdoor space too. It was down to -11c when I was there and the place was warm and cosy. Everything is super-clean too.

    This lovely guesthouse is a gem. The rooms are clean, warm and cosy. But the best part of the stay is the lovely host Elisabeth. She offered to prepare us dinner, because the stay is away from any other restaurants. She allowed us access to the washer and drier, so we could clean and dry our bathing suits and towels. All the little handmade details, the selected decorations and dishes give this place a special soul. The breakfast was delicious also, with everything you could want. Would really recommend this stay.
