June 2025Fantastic stay at Breioanes Smioja
If you want to experience northern Iceland, this is is place to stay. Its on the famous Diamond Circle that has 5 must-see sights. Its an easy 45 minutes from Akureyri. The apartment was very clean with 3 very nice bedrooms and an open space kitchen/living room/eating area on the 2nd floor. The kitchen is very well equipped for those who like to cook. The area is very rural so you need a car. The host Jack was wonderful. He helped with lots of travel advice, directions and how things in the apartment worked. He was very responsive to all our questions; responding by both phone and text very promptly. If this is an area of the world you want to visit, you can't go wrong staying here!”
