Great Apartment in Reykjavik
Lots of shops, cafés, and restaurants within walking distance. Parking was just a short walk away, easy to find, secure and well priced.
Communication with the property manager was easy and all information was provided well before check in.
The apartment was clean and comfortable. Found it surprisingly quiet considering it faces the street.
Would definitely stay there again!
We enjoyed our stay here. The apartment is centrally located in the city center, walkable to main attractions, yet quiet and peaceful. The bed is comfortable, Wifi reliable, good water pressure, plenty of hot water, easy check-in, great communication with the host. I enthusiastically recommend this apartment when in Reykjavik.
An excellent location to the Harbour and downtown areas. Good access to shopping and grocery stores nearby. A good size place for a family. We would definitely go again
Excellent property for downtown Reykjavik, walkable to great restaurants and shopping. The hot water had a smell, but this was communicated by the owners, so it was expected. Overall, this was a very nice place to stay for our family of 4.

Easy check in, I wish there was private parking. I was able to park 2 blocks away. Make sure you
Download Parka app when traveling to Iceland :). My stay was soo comfortable and bed was soo comfortable. Well rested. Thank you :)
This was our second time staying at this property, only this time we got a two bedroom apartment so my mama could join us for this visit. It was exactly what we needed. The apartment was spacious and clean, and the layout was perfect to accommodate all of us comfortably. The location is fantastic, close to places we love to frequent, and while parking can be challenging at times, we were able to find a spot on Vesturgata the majority of the time - or on another street within a short walk. We love it, and clearly are happy to return. Takk fyrir!

Would stay again!
The apartment was exactly as described! We are comfortable, it was extreme clean, and had everything we needed.
We had a wonderful stay. Apartment was spacious, clean and in a perfect location. Communication was excellent-we had a few issues that were resolved immediately. Was walking distance to restaurants, shopping and waterfront. Street parking was not a problem. Would stay again.
It's likely a good property in a good location but we got room 101 on the ground floor and the whole place smelled. The washroom smelled the worst despite the place looking clean. Someone came to check and confirmed the smell and believed it was some sewage gases possibly and tried to help with scented sticks which did not really work completely. The smell of the place tainted an otherwise nice looking place and location.
Location was fantastic. The room and bathroom are spacious. However there was no recycle bin and there was a lack of hand towels. The kitchen table is stuck in a corner with little space to sit around it.
We loved this property. Very spacious and central to downtown Reykjavik. The only thing that would have helped us is if the property owners would let us know the best place to Park (specifically for P3 parking). They do give you helpful Reykjavik parking info. We had 4 apartments with 4 families and we all agreed that it would have made thing easier if we had an idea of our best parking options. We would definitely stay here again.
