150m2, 5 bedroom house in a small town of Selfoss in the southern part of Iceland. Pretty big yard with a hot tub which is fantastic to use in the winter time and watch the northern lights. Close to a lot of tourist attraction like the Golden circle about 40 minutes away in car. Our house is about 40 minutes away from Reykjavík and 1.5 hours away the airport in Keflavík.
The space
The house has 5 bedrooms. One room with a double bed, 2 rooms with 120cm beds, 1 room with a 90cm bed and a room for our 1 year old which has a crib.
Hot tub in the garden and some patio furniture outside. There is a washer and dryer in the house. In the garage are 3 kids bikes for about 5-6 year old, 6-7 year old, 10-11 year old and one adult mountain bike which are available for gueasts.
Guest access
Both doors to the house has 1 or 2 steps up to get inside the house.
Notes
We do have a dog in our house and even though he will not be at home while exchanging houses our house would probably not be suitable for people who are allergic to dogs.
For the past few years there have been volcanic eruptions which have been very tourist friendly and been about 40-60 minutes away by car.
