Good central location in town & for touring the area
Apartment as described, was accessed easily with free parking outside overnight 4pm- 10am & free parking during the day one block away. Owner responded quickly to any queries. Good restaurants nearby. Don’t forget to try Brynja for an ice cream fix 😋. Also the cafe in the Botanical Gardens for lunch.

Well equipped, although missing shampoo in the bathroom. Could use written instruction on TV, as we never managed to turn it on. Free parking is not available weekdays from 10 AM to 4 PM, although you can park a bit further down the street, away from paid parking zone. Kitchen facilities (stove, fridge & microwave) are nice to have.

Read This Before Booking
We had an issue when we arrived which I will not go into it, but it prevented us from staying the first evening we had booked. Gudni took a few hours to get a hold of, which was frustrating, however, I do want to give him credit for addressing our issue promptly after we were in contact with him. I feel he treated us fairly and and did what he could to make the situation the best it could be. I am grateful to him for handling things professionally on his end, however, this being said, I wish we had stayed somewhere else and would not stay here again. The issue mentioned ate up a ton of our time and caused a lot of stress. I was on the phone with VRBO, with Gudni, shuffling luggage around, etc. etc. It was just a giant time suck on a vacation with limited time to begin with and time is not something I can get back, so it's never worth it to me to be in this position. Next, I want to clarify this "smell" everyone is talking about. There are two things at play here: 1) The hot water all over Iceland smells of sulfur. This will be the same at all properties unless they have a tankless hot water heater. I have no problem with the smell of sulfur, HOWEVER . . . 2) The smell in Gudni's place is not just from sulfur but also from septic waste. I do not to be rude, but it very disgusting to my husband and I. We did not want to be in the apartment at all because of it. I even bought a candle to try and mask it but it wasn't very effective. In the bathroom near the toilet there is a metal grate on the floor, when you flush the toilet you can see the water moving right under the grate. Long story short it's basically like an open septic system and it smells as you would imagine. This is not a smell that we just "got used to" as others have mentioned. The building also has areas which smell of smoke when you are walking through, however, this smell is not present in the actual apartment. The apartment is well laid out but the bed is older and was uncomfortable for us. You sink into it and roll into the middle if you have two people sharing it. Some light bulbs were burned out so it was a bit dark in the evening. A window handle was broken. The balcony is great, the location is great, however, we couldn't get over the other issues mentioned and do not recommend staying here. We are not high maintenance or luxury travelers and our other stays in Iceland were in hostels or shared spaces. I hope this gives some context for my review.

Loved Gudni’s studio apartment!
We were thrilled to be at Gudni’s place! It was so centrally located and we were able to walk everywhere in Akuryeri! The views were great, he had all amenities needed, and Gudni was prompt and easy to communicate with. When the sofa bed is pulled out, it’s a tight area - but well worth having to squeeze in at night for the awesome location!

Great location and value
This place was great for its amazing views out three directions, PERFECT location, good value, and washer/dryer which was critical to have halfway through our trip. The shower was stopped up and leaking and a bathmat would have been helpful (the towels were big and the linens clean and comfortable). Be sure to park further away from town; you’ll get a ticket if you park in front of the building. There is a bad smell as somebody else mentioned but you get used to it right away. The place was quiet and clean. Space was tight for three people when sleeping so two might be best. Gudni answered his phone and was generally helpful; I didn’t receive check-in instructions until I asked twice. Calling him vs. sending a message is better. I would recommend this place and we enjoyed our stay in Akureyri!

Everything about this place is perfect!
I don’t want to say too much because I want to repeat my stay next summer and I want it to be available! It’s small but extremely well appointed and impeccably clean. All the best restaurants are within walking distance. The Akureyri pool is nearby and one of the best in Iceland. And when you aren’t off exploring things nearby, the outdoor deck is wonderful for relaxing!

Great location and view
This is a great location in the center of an active area in Akureyri. Being on the fifth floor offers a great view and gives you a sense of privacy at the same time. We had a short delay in checking in because I did not receive the instructions. I’m not sure if it was a problem with the Vrbo app or an oversight by the owner. Regardless, the location and amenities outweighed any problem we had at the beginning. We were able to do laundry which was a great plus in the middle of our trip. Restaurants are all within walking distance and the licorice ice cream is amazing!! Akureyri is a perfect base for exploring the region. I highly recommend this place.

Beautiful studio in a great location in Akureyri
This was a lovely and relaxing stay. The bed is very comfortable and the blinds on all the windows help with sleeping when the sun barely sets! The balcony was wonderful for breakfast, and to watch a gorgeous full moon rise. The apartment is a short distance from the amazing Akureyri pool complex, and steps from fun restaurants, coffee shops, bars, and the Art Museum. The gorgeous cultural center and concert hall, Hof, is a short walk away along the water. Gudni was helpful and responsive. We hope we will be back!

Fabulous studio in the heart of Akureyri
I greatly enjoyed my time in this wonderful studio. Communication with the owner was fast and easy to understand. The location of the property makes it even better, it is a short walk from restaurants, shopping, and everything you need. I love the town of Akureyri and will happily stay here again the next time I visit!
