Small room, but good kitchen facilities.
Location about 6km from Circular Road (1), near a canyon at the end of the Joküsla River.
about 20min drive from Egilsstadir.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Overall felt unclean and misled
The property details omitted the fact that it had a communal bathroom for 4 rooms for up to 16 people. We ended up sharing 1 single bathroom with 3 other families. All were surprised. Having knowledge of this is critical for families with young children. On the listing, only the kitchen was disclosed as communal.
Additionally, the trash outside was overflowing and the bathroom window was left ajar leading to many flies in the property.
