The host was accurate and expeditious in every communication whether weeks before or during our stay. This was of critical importance in light of the Icelandic/USA requirements regarding covid testing. Weeks in advance the host corresponded with us to help us wind our way through Icelandic hospital websites. That took the stress off. We were able to set our hiking and touring itinerary even though test sites in the back country are advertised in Icelandic, few, far between and of limited hours.
Although the cottage is in the middle of nowhere, it was central--within a bit over one hour's drive of High Country glaciers, black sand beaches, the Golden Circle, and several spectacular waterfall hikes.
