"The location is nice by the water, balcony facing sea direction. Luxury to have a house with the space and everything you need. Digital lock is easy to use and check in is very easy. Easy to park but also within walking distance to town. Shower pressure is great. Two bathrooms make things convenient. Not the most clean judging by the bedding and me start coughing (dust allergy) but not too bad to affect the overall experience. Would recommend for Lofoten experience."
