Nous avons échangé avec Signy et Adelsteinn que nous avons rencontrés au départ comme au retour. Nous avons discuté avec eux tout au long du séjour pour nous échanger mutuellement des conseils. Leur appartement est très bien situé : tout près du centre ville de Reykjavik, il est néanmoins très calme. Le supermarché est à deux pas et la promenade côtière tout près. Pas besoin de voiture pour découvrir la ville. Les œuvres d'art authentiques en font un lieu privilégié. Nous avons adoré notre séjour en Islande avec une voiture qui nous a permis de découvrir ce pays exceptionnel. Signy et Adelsteinn sont des personnes joviales et nous avons eu grand plaisir à faire leur connaissance.
Notre échange est devenu un miracle de générosité.
Nous avons eu l'occasion de faire la connaissance de la famille en fin de séjour. Elle est très chaleureuse. Elle a de plus eu quelques désagréménts à gérer avec notre voiture. L'appartement, en plein centre Reykjavik, permet d'aller partout à pied. Il est conforme à la description. Je recommande cette famille.
