    Very responsive host. Pretty and comfortable. Great views. Nice neighbourhood. However , limitation on cooking facilities, no dishwasher and washing machine. Limited storage cupboards and side tables in the rooms . Enjoyed our stay . Will recommend.

    We really enjoyed staying in this spacious and comfortable house. What an amazing location, right by the sea with the most spectacular views! It was a great place to base ourselves for a few days sightseeing - highlights were whale watching from Olafsvik and the Canyon Baths in Husafell- and we liked Borganes too

    Michelle was lovely and the house is very fun with all the art. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was adequate. For us it wasn't five stars because none of the bedrooms had any side tables for the beds, there were also no side or coffee tables in the living room, the wind woke us up a couple nights and it wasnt even a storm or anything , that's the usual (obviously not anything Michelle can do about that), and the sulphur smelling hot water was really pungent (again, not the owner's fault!). The view is amazing and the neighborhood is cute. Good location for exploring the northwest part of the island.

    The house was beautifully situated with incredible views and comfortable furnishings. It was perfect for our group of 6 —a mix of family and friends—as we explored Iceland for the first time. We loved getting to know Borgarnes and the Settlement Center. The drive to Reykjavík was a little longer than we expected but it wasn’t prohibitive for our plans. The only thing that we wished for was laundry access on premises, but even that wasn’t too inconvenient. We stayed 6 nights, and I wish we had been able to stay longer. The host was responsive and friendly, very helpful when we unexpectedly had a flat tire. The Art House will have a special place in all of our hearts and memories.

    The house was immaculate and the host, Michelle, gave us many tips on places to visit. Borgarnes is ideal for exploring the west and southwest of Iceland but the views from every window were so amazing that we were tempted to just stay and enjoy the stunning location! This property exceeded our expectations and is highly recommended.

    The house was unique and well-equipped with everything we needed. The views from the living room were amazing and it was great being able to walk out the door and enjoy walking around the cute town.

    Great home with an incredible view. House was clean and Michelle was very easy to work with. She provided lots of useful information about the area and things to do/see. We were fortunate to be in Iceland during the 2023 eruption and you could see the smoke plume from the living room!

    This was a great location, lovely house and Michelle is a warm, super host. She gave us lots of tips to make sure we made the most of our time here. We packed so much in! The house is extremely relaxing- I loved the views in all directions. Kitchen was well stocked for preparing meals. My son took up the opportunity to paint with Michelle and really enjoyed it. We’ve had a very special time here. Definitely recommend this spot.
