We've rented numerous houses and apartments when we've travelled and we've either won the lottery or deserved an A+ for decision-making exactly twice. Narfakot was one of those times.
Other houses might be larger and fancier, but Dagmar's simple studio apartment was absolutely perfect for our family of four. We arrived late at night, and Dagmar made it easy for us to let ourselves in (and we could see the light from the erupting volcano from the kitchen window while our jet lag kept us awake!).
We awoke to wind and sideways rain the next morning, but fresh eggs in the fridge, an electric kettle and ample tea selection, and marriage bliss cake made it all ok. Sustained, we ventured out to see the horses and Krummi, one of two resident dogs and the self-designated tour guide.
Dagmar's house proved to be a great homebase for the start of our Iceland trip. It was comfortable, convenient, and cozy with the most welcoming hosts (human, canine, and equine alike) and none of us will forget Krummi's guided hike along the shore to the lighthouse.
Thank you Dagmar, Krummi, Hekla and family. Your warmth and hospitality were much appreciated.
