Beautiful apartment in central Leknes

It puts a whole apartment, with a private entrance and a kitchen that can cook a real meal, within a kilometre of Leknes and two of the airport — useful on the first or last night of a Lofoten trip, and cheaper to run than eating out for a week.

Two people who want a base in town rather than a cabin at the end of a road; the flat is let to five, though only a double bed and a sofa bed are listed. Drivers gain most, as parking is free and on site. A family with a baby can ask for a cot and will find a high chair already in the kitchen, but no extra bed can be added.

Arrival is no earlier than 18:00 and no later than 23:30, and the owner asks for your time beforehand — a long first evening if you land in the morning. No extra bed can be added, and although Booking.com publishes a maximum of five guests it credits the flat with two beds, a double and a sofa bed, so ask what five people would sleep on. Pets are not taken, the flat is non-smoking, and hen and stag groups are turned away. The 8.3 score comes from 60 reviews.

One apartment of 60 m² with a private entrance, one bedroom and one bathroom. The bedroom holds a double bed and a sofa bed, and the unit is credited with two beds.

Linen, towels, a hairdryer and toilet paper are provided, and interconnecting rooms are listed as available. Floors are part carpet, part hardwood or parquet.

Heating, a fan and an iron indoors, with a flat-screen TV carrying streaming services, a sofa, a seating area and a dining table. Laundry is covered by a washing machine, a tumble dryer and a drying rack, and cleaning products are left in the kitchen. Outside there is a patio with furniture and an outdoor dining area, looking over a garden towards the mountains. Parking and WiFi are free, the latter measured at 32 Mbps. The apartment is non-smoking.

Self-catering, with a kitchen holding an oven, a hob, a dishwasher, a microwave, a fridge, a coffee machine and kitchenware, and a dining table indoors as well as one on the patio.
