Thanks for replying (OP here - I have been "heads down"), yes - have had a friend stay at the Airbnb, he loved it. (Better internet than at the 2 hotels)

Oh - and the art is amazing - and yes, when at the Frobisher, local artists will always be showing their work for you to buy directly, but there are stores as well.

Also - make sure you tour the Legislative Assembly (when open) - https://www.assembly.nu.ca/faq

Come in the Winter if you like snow - come in July/August if you want to get out on the water or like rocky hiking.

Get some coffee at the Black Heart Cafe - https://www.facebook.com/BlackHeartCafe/

There are about 4-5 good restaurants, 2 attached to the current hotels, but I also recommend "Yummy Shawarma" and "Big Racks BBQ".

Something interesting for the HN crowd - a new hotel is going up, built from modular shipping-container sized units - https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/iqaluit-hotel-rooms-bui...
