"The unit we were assigned was 504 and had a fabulous wrap-around view. The apartment was clean and bright and everything we expected was there. The bed and pillows were comfortable and the space was quiet so we got a great sleep there. The only really thing we would have liked would have been a toaster, which would have made breakfast preparations much easier."

The sauna and tub were spectacular, got some amazing aurora views while relaxing in both. The neighborhood was great, with multiple stores like Bónus just a few minutes away. The owner was super friendly. Would definitely stay here again. "
