This property lives up to the uniformly excellent reviews. Although it is near to downtown, we were never bothered by traffic noise. The unit has everything we needed and nothing we didn’t. We North Americans are always a little baffled by the EU pictorial controls on the appliances, but we managed to make good use of them. The parking spot is a very valuable feature which enhances the value proposition.

This efficiency has everything one could need, in a neighborhood that is perfectly located for walking to shops and restaurants. Quiet neighborhood of foreign embassies, churches, hospital, and a pocket park. The owner’s communication was superb. With an added bonus of onsite parking.

Wonderful Visit - Perfect Stay

It is a very charming and cozy studio apartment, perfect for an adult couple or single person visiting Reykjavik. It is central and even walking distance to many of the main points in downtown. The hosts were wonderful - and made it so easy to check in, stay, and check out again. I was great !

This was a a fabulous place and a perfect location. The apartment had everything needed for our stay and we were able to easily walk to restaurants and shops in Reykjavík.

Cozy Home Base for Iceland Adventures

Thoughtfully designed and decorated to maximize its space, this comfortable and nicely outfitted studio felt much larger than its square footage would suggest. It was an ideal “home” for our 10-night stay, centrally located to easily explore the sights, sound and tastes of Reykjavík by foot. An off-street parking spot for our rental car made day excursions so convenient. We loved it! Tip for summer travelers: bring an eye mask as the blinds don’t totally block the light.

It was very nice stay in Reykjavik

The room was more spacious than I had imagined, yet stylish and comfortable enough for a one-person stay.The location was also great, just a few minutes walk to the center of Reykjavík.The only thing that was a little confusing was the location of the key box, so if the owner has time, it might be a good idea to add that.

Fabulous 3 days in Reykjavík

This was the perfect little place for a mother/daughter stopover in Iceland! The apartment had everything we needed, including an off street parking space - ideal as we rented a car to self drive the Golden Circle and hike the Glymur Waterfall trail! The apartment is ideally located within easy walking distance to the harbor, sights, shops, restaurants and parks! We had 3 days of sunshine and absolutely LOVED our time here! Our host was fabulous - so friendly and attentive to our needs! Stay here! You wont regret it!
