The apartment in the middle of Lofoten

Two proper double bedrooms rather than a sofa bed, a washing machine, a garden to sit in, and a position between Leknes and Ballstad that puts most of central Lofoten within half an hour's driving.

Two couples, or a family with a small child — a free cot can be requested for a child up to three and there is a high chair, though no extra beds are held. Pets are accepted on request. Anyone who wants a sea view should look elsewhere; the outlook here is the garden and the mountains.

Two beds across two bedrooms is the whole capacity — four people at most, with no extra beds available. The upper floors are reached by stairs only. Check-in opens at 16:00 with no closing time published and the property wants your arrival time beforehand; check-out is 11:00. Smoking and parties are refused, hen and stag groups are not taken, and pets need prior agreement and may carry a charge. The listing shows no star rating and rests on six reviews, so the 9.8 is a small sample.

One apartment of 75 m² with two beds in two bedrooms: a large double in the first and a double in the second, two guests allowed in each, four in all. One bathroom with a bath or shower, a hairdryer, towels and toilet paper, plus an additional toilet. Linen and a wardrobe are provided, and the unit is a private apartment within a building.

The upper floors are reached by stairs only, and no accessibility equipment is named on the listing.

Free WiFi and free private parking. A dining table, a children's high chair, a wardrobe, linen, a socket beside the bed and a flat-screen TV. The kitchen holds an oven, a hob, a dishwasher, a fridge, a coffee machine and kitchenware, with a washing machine. Outdoors there is a balcony looking at the mountains, a patio, outdoor furniture and a garden.

Self-catering. No meals are served on site; the apartment has a kitchen with a dishwasher, a coffee machine and a dining table, and Booking.com gives the Lofotenmat food hall as 2.7 km away.
