Cozy apartment in the city center

Two bedrooms, a kitchen and a washing machine a kilometre from Leknes Airport and 500 metres from the town hall — the shops, the bus and the flight are all within reach without a long drive, which is rare among the lets in this guide.

A small family or two or three friends who want a base in the middle of the island rather than at one end of it. It suits a first or last night in Lofoten around a flight, and anyone who would rather walk to a supermarket than drive to one. There is no sea view and no cot, so it is not a scenic retreat or a fit for a family with a baby.

Booking.com caps the apartment at three guests even though the bedrooms hold four beds — two singles in one room and a double in the other — so ask if you are a party of four. No cot and no extra bed can be added, and children of eighteen and over are charged as adults. NOK 2,000 is taken by credit card on arrival as a refundable damage deposit, returned within seven days once the place has been inspected. Check-in runs from 16:00 to 21:00 only and check-out is by 11:00; the property asks for your arrival time in advance. Quiet hours are 23:00 to 07:00 and parties are not allowed. Pets are not accepted. No sea view is listed. A single review, scoring 7.0, is all there is to go on.
