Deluxe Apartment is located by the Old Harbor in the heart of down town Reykjavík. Here is what some of our previous guests had to say: Peter: Very well equipped comfortable apartment in a good location. Excellent communication and plenty of information about things to do and places to eat, etc. from the hosts! Beverly: The whole adventure was awesome and this property just added to the perfect mix! We will return to Iceland and this property! Alex: Beautiful property and lovely location but most importantly it was lots of little details that made it great. There were makeup wipes, dry shampoo etc stocked in the bathroom, washer and dryer with washing liquids provided. Messages and updates from the property regarding restaurant and sight seeing suggestions. It really was the little things that made a big difference! Helen: The apartment was perfect for out 6 night stay. Fantastic location, view makes you feel like you are definitely in Iceland. Great central location to all sights, supermarket, car hire, excellent range and choice of restaurants. Really prompt communication with host, extremely helpful, flexible and informative to help us get the most out of our stay. Amy: Lovely spacious apartment in a fantastic location close to lots of bars and restaurants as well as bus stop 4 for tours. Would 100% stay again if we return to Iceland and will recommend to friends to stay here. Bernadette: Location can’t be beat! Walking distance to a lot of restaurants and main street. Love the view and it’s spaciousness and all its amenities. All the tips in the binder were very helpful. The hosts were very accommodating! Would definitely stay here again! Jasmine: There is a lot to love about this apartment. The location is excellent--you can reach the main attractions of Reykjavik on foot, and you can see beautiful sunrises and sunsets right from the private balcony. The cooking facilities are good, with lots of cookware, dishes, glasses, cutlery, etc. so you can cook proper meals. The owners have clearly put a lot of effort into finer details so the flat feels spacious and homey. It was well-cleaned, and the beds were some of the best beds I have ever slept in (nice and firm, but with a bit of a pillow top so you get support with just the right amount of cushioning). It was a good location for getting out and seeing the sights, but also would have been a very comfortable place to just hide out on a rainy day. Comfortable seating options in the living room and dining room, all nicely furnished. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen -

Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### DAVID J. 10 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent Stay The apartment is exactly as advertised - spacious and comfortable - we slept and relaxed quite well.The kitchen was fully equipped, though we only at left-overs via the microwave. The shower is very strong, and hot water is plentiful - you"ll appreciate that after any chilly/raining dates. Reykjavik seems to have two city centers critical to visitors - the old harbor area, and the streets along Laekjargata. The apartment is very close by the old harbor piers for whale-watching tours, great seafood, and the #15 bus stop is a convenient pickup site for tours out of town. The Laekjarsgata area has a few lively perdestrian streets with lively bars and restaurants. Pretty easy to get get anywhere within 5 to 13 minutes - just DO NOT rely on Google Walk! Kristin was a dream hostess, responding to our many inquiries promptly, as well as her comprhensive summary of local attraction, tours, travel advice and dining recommendations. VERSUS HOTELS: Did too much researching of hotels in the mid to upper scale - seems all hotel rooms were smaller than we were comfortable with, and the furniture looked like minimalist Ikea ads. Lastly - our flight landed at 6:30 AM, as do many direct flights from the U.S., and we arrived at the apt by 7:30\. If your budget allows inquire about renting the prior night, so you can get some sleep, rather than wandering the streets until mid-afternoon. ##### DAVID J.

The check in info arrived right on time. Instructions were perfectly clear & place was exactly as shown on the listing. The only hiccup we had was that prior to even booking, I had informed them of my chemical sensitivities and asked if they were fragrance free. Somehow that request got lost. When we walked in the scent of room freshener & scented laundry detergent was impossible for me. We messaged him on the app & went out looking for alternate arrangements. When we got radio silence to our message, we assumed we were on our own and went back to the apartment to pack up. There were Oddur & Kristin already re-cleaning the entire apartment & changing bedding! No questions asked, just what can they do to make it better. He even bought fragrance free detergent for me.To make things even MORE incredible, we had come with a tiny amount of information regarding Doug’s great grandmother who was from Iceland. We mentioned it to Oddur hoping that we maybe would get some basic info on the family name. Less than 24 hours later he was back with pages of information showing the family lineage back to the 1600’s and that - get this - Doug & Oddur were 7th cousins!! We are still processing all that information & passing it along to Doug’s family. But cousins 7x removed….. Oddur, we’re not expecting any birthday invitations in Iceland. But if you’re ever out this way, we are here to return the hospitality. ##### Mary B. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas M. 31 Aug 2025 ##### Thomas M.
