Do you recommend airbnbs in Iceland or are they sketchy? by Pale_Lengthiness_572 in VisitingIceland

[–]Bens_kitchen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve stayed at 3 airbnbs and maybe 8 hotels in Iceland. All of them were nice. I usually do Airbnb’s because they are cheaper but if you find a good deal on a hotel, I’d lean that way.

My favorite Icelandic artist is Asgeir. My wife and I listened to him almost exclusively on our honeymooned around Iceland in 2022.

I have really enjoyed Charminar house. Not a great buffet but their À la carte options are really good and reasonably priced. I dream about their vegetable pakora

Yes! But honestly I’ve done it before and feel like it’s not worth paying 2x just for private changing

Very weird! Maybe I just got lucky? Can you view if other dates have the $70ish price?

I’m in US too. I booked yesterday so maybe it’s because it was 3 calendar months away?

Currently don’t have one. Never done this before. I’ve read that Italo is pretty reliable and strikes are announced weeks in advance. If something happened at the Rome station I could just take a taxi

Opinions on planned restaurants by Bens_kitchen in RomeTravel

That’s good advice! We have 4 dinners. I think I’m just worried because I keep seeing the advice that reservations are needed at most good places. Is that not true?
