Mánahlíð 6
Great property and walked outside with the northern lights right in front of us. Appreciate laundry (but does not have a dryer). It's a very spacious apartment. The entrance to the apartment is at the back and the walkway is uneven stones - would not recommend for those with limited mobility.
