The location is near several good restaurants and a grocery store. Downtown Reykjavik is only a 5-10 minute walk away. The stairs were a bit steep and the parking was very tight, but at least it has onsite parking - most other places I saw seemed to make you find parking on the street. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Moriah 8 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Perfect spot for exploring Reykjavík! It was absolutely lovely from beginning to end! We loved the apartment in every way! The view was beautiful. The curtains really blocked out all the light which we appreciated. We only have two small suggestions. A coffee table would have been nice to rest a drink on while sitting on the couch. It would be great if there were more steaming options than just Netflix. But overall the place was truly a delight! ##### Moriah Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicole 1 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication Excellent property in a prime area. Check in was smooth and communication with owners was easy. Only thing to be aware of is it is slightly tricky stairs to access, so have to be comfortable with stairs and carrying your luggage up them. Overall will stay again. ##### Nicole Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sheng 20 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Great location and timely communications from property manager ##### Sheng Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Raffaella Maria Bendoni 1 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication All was great , the only flaw was lack of extra pillows and towels ##### Raffaella Maria Bendoni Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephen 27 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication the property was very nice and well-kept.

The Landlord for the property is almost NEVER THERE and we were lucky to get into the building when someone else opened the outside door, and our password for the room itself worked. We carefully got all of our property out of the building so we could change our hotel for the rest of our first stay there. We had another booking (made at the same time as the first) that was scheduled for 8 days from now. We cancelled our second booking ... and I expected there would be a penalty for that cancellation: IT WAS THE ENTIRE PAYMENT MADE several months ago, so there was NO MONEY REFUNDED!!! We think this is ridiculous, but there is nothing we can do. Obviously we will NEVER use this hotel again, even though we will be back next week. ##### Carl Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura 16 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Location of the building is outstanding. A few minutes to walk to a grocery store, across the street from Starbucks and easily walkable to multiple cafes and restaurants. Right on one of the main downtown streets, so plenty to see and do. Bus service available a short walk away. Decent-sized room for family of 4. Room ran very hot though, especially with the bed that is walled in on both sides when you have to have the curtains closed, so if it’s summer and you sleep hot this might not be the room for you. Slippery shower along wall Parking is only available for some units (4-person had it). Parking lot is very tight, especially when staff is on site and takes spot that runs right next to building (other spots are perpendicular to this). Driveway is really hard to pull out of because you are blindly pulling out on to a busy sidewalk on a single-lane roadway where cars are also parking all along. So, one of has to jump out to direct the driver out safely and jump back in, which was annoying. We had to request extra pillows (bed only came with 1 for each person and they were kind of thin) and had to request clean towels (were supposed to be dropped off every few days, but weren’t). Service was fast and friendly. Some suggestions we would make for the property guide—include instructions for the door lock for our room. It does not match what is in the guide and works differently. I would also directions for both the oven and dishwasher because we had to look those up. ##### Laura Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 2 Dec 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Everything was above expectation! Nothing to complain about and the view was amazing. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Susan 25 Apr 2025 Liked: Amenities, communication We enjoyed the area, in the heart of Reykjavik. We understood that parking was included in our booking. When we arrived there was no parking spot for our apartment. After communicating w one of the contacts, we were told that parking was only for 4 person apartment bookings. I had to text back and forth for the first day, which was frustrating since I had to retell my problem w diff contacts w each text. but I was happy that each person who texted was helpful. We were lucky that no one was booked in the 4 person apartmt so we were able to use that parking spot for a few days but still had to find street parking for the last day. Not an easy task! The property was clean except for the windows being old and chipped. The bed was comfortable. We needed earplugs since we were on top of the main entertainment street but we expected that. ##### Susan Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tara 28 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication I gave everything on my review an excellent rating of 5 stars but on a scale of 1 to 5 I would give communication a 10! I so much appreciate the tools that i received from them to help me navigate my time in Reykjavík. The apartment was like the icing on the cake. ##### Tara Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Jason 31 Jul 2024 Disliked: Communication Parking availability was misleading. Not available for parties of two or less so you need to make your own arrangements. No elevator so be prepared to hike several sets of stairs with luggage. Located right on main strip so noisy in the evenings and overnight. ##### Jason Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Christine 2 Jun 2024 Liked: Room comfort, communication #### Poor upkeep My first room smelled of sig and had disgusting stairs on the furniture. I was given an upgrade and a New studio. Generally I found the entrance areas and general upkeep poor.
