Great location, fantastic kitchen and bedrooms, and an overall well-provisioned apartment, but some of the advertised amenities (as of 1-31 Aug 2022 when we stayed) are misleading.
There is a router in the flat, but there is no WiFi. Halldis said they had trouble with the comms company, but despite their assurances that it would quickly be sorted, it never was during our stay. They compensated us for the cost of a mobile router (as one of us was working remotely for the duration of our stay), which was great, but it was still a bit of a faff to collect and set up ourselves, and wasn’t as fast as normal WiFi would be.
The washing machine is a relic from the last century that had a sock from the previous tenants clogging its drain when we moved in. After seeing that and reading the other reviews complaining about the machine, we didn’t trust it with our clothes, which meant using a local laundrette for the month.
The AC worked great for our stay, but one unit started leaking during our second week. Halldis sent someone to take a look, but they just shrugged and said “it’s f**ked” without providing any guidance on whether we should keep using it, or if they were going to repair it. We used it sparingly for bit while using a bowl to collect the run-off water, but didn’t want to be liable for any damage to the wallpaper, so ultimately stopped running it for the latter half of our stay.
Also, they advertise one of the couches as a ‘sofa bed’, leading us to think there was a pull-out mattress. That’s not the case; it’s just a sofa.
Overall, I do have to say we really enjoyed the stay, and the Halldis team was always very responsive - they should just amend the property description a bit to be more accurate.
