Great Place to Stay in Iceland
The house is beautifully decorated and very cozy with lots of great spaces to hangout. Rooms are comfortable with good beds. Nice views of the water. The cliffs are close by for hiking/walking about. Nice large dining table for gathering and gaming. The location is close to restaurants and near enough to other attractions (e.g. 30 mins to Blue Lagoon).

Comfortable and Convenient Iceland Basecamp
We loved our stay in this historic, lovely home. Communication was great, home was as advertised. We enjoyed the location, which was convenient to many things, and was quieter than Reykjavik. The restaurants in Keflavik are very good. We liked walking along the water. Overall a wonderful stay.

Nice house in Keflavik
House was beautiful inside and close to dining and shopping in Keflavik. Did have to drive about half an hour to go to Reykjavik, but we didn’t find that to be too much of an issue. Owner was very nice and she responded quickly to any questions I posed….and there were quite a few. House had a great view of the bay from the third floor. Overall great stay!

Very nice place
This was a very nice place. The second restroom was on the 3rd floor that was fine but a low ceiling. Still comfortable for 3 workers.

About the host

Hosted by Dagný Alda

Host profile image
My name is Dagný Alda and I was born and raised in Iceland. I got my degree in Interior Architecture from the University of Oregon in 1988. I live part of the year in India where I work as a guide and a yoga instructor and part of the year, summers, I own and oporate a small restaurant and a tourist information center in the westfjord of Iceland. I love to cook, and consern myself in the local politics in my hometown of Keflavík.

Why they chose this property

The southern penensula is loaded with geological phenomenas and full of beautiful hiking trails and sites to visit. It is an ideal place to stay for it is close to the country as well as the city. The oceon fills almost all views of the house and the balcony faces the west for the most glorious sunsets. My kitchen is loaded with spices and great cookware for those interested in cooking, (gas stove) baking and dining. It is a house that is unlike all others because of the history, colorful walls and artifacts. Enjoy!

What makes this property unique

With out a doubt the house has one of the best views in town and is a heartbeat away from everything.
All the beds have new mattresses, new down comforters and pillows, white new linnen and towels.
