I already have an exchange until the 24th of July but I am looking for something in northern Europe after that exchange. Belgium, The Netherlands, north of Germany or south of Jutland (Denmark) |
A duplex house in west Iceland, right by the sea, with a magnificent view over the fjord, from the backyard
Note! Due to allergy we can not take care of any animals!
My house is a wooden duplex house in a very small village in west Iceland. There are 2 apartments in the house, possible to use them separately or both for the same family. The bigger one is about 130 sqm and has an open kitchen into the living room, one bathroom, 3 bedrooms, laundry room and a garage that is used as a bedroom. The smaller one is about 70 sqm and has a kitchen with a little TV area, bathroom with a washing machine and 2 rooms.
The pictures here are not up to date as we have moved things between rooms and added the 2nd apartment since these photos were taken. I am working on taking photos of the current look but the common areas and bathrooms are more or less the same.
The house has a garden/terrace with a magnificent view over the fjord. From this village, it is easy to take day trips to all directions and one could manage to see a big part of the country by just taking day trips from there. Dalasýsla region has many historical places and the people is proud of their heritage that we can trace to the Norwegian Vikings and an Irish princess. The past is hidden in every corner, place names and farm names. The surroundings also have many of the most beautiful places in Iceland where one can really enjoy the nature.
