The house was clean and charmingly light filled. It is half of a house, in a small area of about 6 or 8 homes, all of which appear to be rentals in the same style, very near the Fosshotel Hellnar. I loved all the windows, and the views of fields, a tiny church and the glacier. The downstairs was spacious and bright. We let ourselves in easily with a lockbox.

At night, even though it was summer, the wind whistled and howled through the house and the frame shook. We didn't mind - made it feel more authentic than a hotel stay. The home was clean, but the bathroom and kitchen were a little old and very basic. There was only one (skimpy) towels per person. Other sites have detailed reviews of this property, and they discuss the steep steps. I think that is a misnomer. The "steps" are really just a ladder. Not for the elderly or little kids. Even for us, it just made it a pain to come down to use the (only) bathroom. Also, if you have big luggage, it is almost impossible to carry it upstairs so we had it all over the living room... almost nowhere else to put it.
