What is a typical expat home or apartment like in Vestmannaeyjar?

"A typical expat home or apartment in Vestmannaeyjar, is likely to be a modern, well-insulated property due to the country's cold climate. These homes often feature a minimalist Scandinavian design, with clean lines and a focus on functionality. They are usually equipped with central heating, often geothermal, to combat the harsh Icelandic winters. The homes may have large windows to maximize the amount of natural light entering the property, given the long hours of darkness in the winter months. The interiors are typically cozy and inviting, with a mix of modern and traditional Icelandic elements. Kitchens are usually fully equipped, and the living areas are designed for comfort and relaxation. Many homes also have outdoor spaces, which might include a small garden or patio. Despite being in a relatively remote location, these homes are often equipped with modern amenities such as high-speed internet, given Iceland's strong digital infrastructure," said one person in Vestmannaeyjar.
