Four Points by Sheraton – Logan Airport, Boston USA
Four Points by Sheraton – Logan Airport, Boston
When looking for an affordable hotel near Boston’s Logan Airport we chose Four Points by Sheraton.
We were passing through Boston having flown in from Reykjavik (Iceland) and spent one night near the airport before hiring a car the next day for a road trip down the coast to NYC.
Arriving at Logan Airport we took the free shuttle bus to the hotel, although the hotel wasn’t as close to the airport as we thought – it was 4.5 miles away.
Sem Apartments, Reykjavik, Iceland
Sem Apartments has an excellent location in the centre of Reykjavik. We are in walking distance of the main shopping area, the Hallgrimskirkja church and the harbour.
The apartments are in a corrugated iron building – typical of the beautiful older-style buildings in Reykjavik’s centre.
We obtain the key from a key box and walk a few stairs down to Apartment 1.
On entering, it is a warm and cosy haven from the cold outside. The apartment is clean, fresh and well decorated. It is a small apartment with two small bedrooms, very small bathroom and open plan living/dining/kitchen area. It is well designed and cheerful.
Egils Guesthouse, Borgarnes, Iceland
On the 7th night of our trip around the Ring Road of Iceland we have booked an apartment in Egils Guesthouse in Borgarnes. This is one our favourite accommodations of the trip.
We have a 2-bedroom apartment at No. 6. It is a very charming apartment and the owners have put a lot of thought into the decorating and the amenities provided for their guests. There are some very thoughtful touches.
The entry hall has a row of hooks and shelving for our coats, car keys, etc. Off this entry hall are two bedrooms, and a wide opening to the kitchen and living room, with the bathroom off to the right.
Brimnes Hotel & Cabins, Olafsfjordur, Iceland
On the sixth night of our tour on the Ring Road around Iceland, we have booked a large cabin at Brimnes Hotel & Cabins (Brimnes Bungalows on booking.com) in Olafsfjordur.
We are in Cabin Reykiz – a beautiful log cabin on the lake.
Cabin Reykiz has three bedrooms and an open plan living/dining/kitchen area. The whole cabin is timber – floors, walls and ceiling. It is very warm and cosy as there is panel heating throughout and it’s very effective.
Guesthouse Stong & Cottages, near Lake Myvatn, Iceland
On the fifth night of our Ring Road self-drive tour of Iceland, we stay in a cottage at Guesthouse Stong, 13kms from Lake Myvatn.
It is a cold day and we are glad to see the guesthouse – located on a 1100 hectare farm on the eastern side of Lake Myvatn. After checking in at the Guesthouse, the friendly owner points us to the nearest cottage. We are the only guests staying tonight, as it is the end of the season.
Our timber cottage has three bedrooms. It is very small and the bedrooms can only be described as tiny – however it is clean, warm, cosy and comfortable.
Reynivilla – 3 Bedroom Villa, Egilsstadir, Iceland
For our fourth night touring Iceland on the Ring Road, we booked Reynivilla – a three-bedroom villa in Egilsstadir.
We arrived late afternoon and the owner met us with the key.
We found Reynvilla to be a spotlessly clean, cheerful, spacious home and we enjoyed our stay.
