Take a look at the area in question on Google Maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/FfMqsFNs7WU7Vejg7

The address in question is on about a 15km (~9mi) stretch of road, and realistically the odds of choosing the correct house randomly are about one in five.

So I'm going to go with "things are different in Iceland", definitely.

realistically the odds of choosing the correct house randomly are about one in five.

And knowing people there, it'd still get there just fine, because the other 4 people know exactly who this is for.

It is very obvious what house they were referring to: https://www.icelandicroots.com/post/h%C3%B3lar-petting-zoo-a-fun-stop-in-dalas%C3%BDsla-for-young-and-old
