The property had all of the amenities listed and the parking was very easy and free, which isn't easy to find in Reykyavik. We did have to wash the crockery and cutlery before we used any of it and there were some hairs and dirt gathered at the edges of the floor and some hairs from shaving in the sink. Leaflets/discount vouchers for restaurants were left in the reception which was very useful. You could definitely get better value in Reykjavik elsewhere.

Good apartment for heavy sleepers

The 2 bed/2 bathroom apartment itself was great with everything we needed (kettle, dishwasher, soap, toilet roll, towels, clean bed linen, TV, settee, fridge and all utensils), a great layout and with the added bonus of a balcony looking towards the cathedral. It was clean and self check in/checkout was smooth and easy. The location was OK, and was close to bus stop 13 for tour pickup/dropoff. You can walk to the cathedral in 10 and the rainbow street in 15 minutes. Walking to the old docks for boat tours/Lava Show took 35 minutes. The main issue for us was not being able to sleep until gone midnight. There were people in neighbouring apartments and we could hear them talking like they were in the next room, and from above and below, whenever anyone moved a chair or table it was loud as if it were in the apartment. This may not be an issue if you're a heavy sleeper. The other minor issue was the mixer taps did not give cold drinking water (kitchen and main bathroom) even when on cold, the water was always slightly warm sulphur smelling. This is unlike the 3 other places we stayed on our Iceland trip, where the water was odour free and totally drinkable. There is a shop 3 minutes walk away to buy bottled water, so that made life easier. If you sleep regardless of noise, are happy with bottled drinking water and don't mind walking for food and attractions, this place is a great place to base yourself. If any of those things bother you, consider it carefully before booking.

When we went to our property, the parking to the rear was filthy, had no street lights and felt extremely unsafe. It is surrounded by other properties, and there was rubbish, pallets and buildings with broken glass around it. We moved the car to on street parking at the front as we felt it was better lit and might be safer. When we opened our key box, we realised we weren’t given a room number, and the lock box didn’t match any of the room numbers. There was no staff available either. We eventually found another resident who showed us the number on the reverse of the key but then couldn’t help with where our room might be. We ended up not staying as when we FINALLY found our room (located out a back door with an external door), the door to the room next door was wide open, lights off and nobody around, and when we opened the door to our room it sounded as though there was people inside. We promptly turned around, returned the key to the key box and left.

Perfectly located to everything we wanted to do. We were easily able to walk to anything in 20/30 minutes. Our rooms (3) were clean, comfortable, and spacious enough for two. The kitchenette was a great addition. Having luggage storage and a restroom to use to freshen up after our flight was really nice. We had to make some changes and the communication was quick and easy. I would definitely stay here again if returning!
