Best of Airbnb | Modern Icelandic Apartment with Unexpected Colour


Everyone has a 'must visit' destination list, whether it's actually written down or just floating around inside their head. Mine's definitely the latter and if you ask me to name the top destination, I'll give a different answer every time. There are just too many holidays I want to take.

That said, Iceland appears at the top of my list so often that it's a saved favourite on Skyscanner. Do I really have to say why? Just take a look at the apartments in this Akureyri residence. Or, more to the point, take a look at those views!

While far from being the warmest place on earth, the rugged landscape of Iceland is breathtakingly beautiful and these apartments are designed to take full advantage of the scenery, with perfectly positioned windows framing the landscape, letting the light flood in, and keeping the cold out.

I won't claim Iceland will be my next holiday - there are weekends in Scotland and Germany to come first - but I'll definitely be visiting before long. For now, I'll kick back, stare at those views some more and think of what kit I'll need to order for such an adventure.

Best of Airbnb is a series featuring some of the most exciting, desirable and unique places to rest your head, from around the world.

    This place looks heavenly! But I wonder why they use bright red for a very calming place with such comfy design?? I prefer soft colors for the accent color.

  6. It is a bit of an assult on the eyes, you're not wrong. We've highlighted it because it's so unexpected, and vibrant. I guess it catches the eye for people browsing Airbnb.

  7. So many people seem to feel the same way, it has a vibe we all need to be apart of.

  11. Amazing. Absolutely love the kitchen, though the bathroom is a wee bit too Wes Anderson for my liking. Great series idea!
