The second floor apartment sleeps 4 people in two double bedrooms. Just under 100m2, it has a fully equipped open kitchen and dining room and a light and airy living room with a partial view of Hallgrimskirkja and a beautiful bathroom in Art Deco style. Full oak floors / black slate flooring throughout. Decorated and refurbished with only the very best. We tried to think of everything: flat screen, home cinema, Wifi, washing machine/dryer, dish washer, iron, fully equipped kitchen, mini library with English (and some German) language books, board games - and even some Icelandic/Scandinavian art pieces and original art!
Further details indoors: Children are of course more than welcome! There's a high chair, a cot (with bedding) and 2 booster seats for the car also available in the apartment. Towels and bedding for both bedrooms are all provided, and of course included in the price.
Further details outdoors: Not far from the sea, extremely close to all amenities (geothermal pool, shopping, supermarket, artisanal bakeries, central restaurants and coffee bars and all museums and exhibitions) with easy (metered) parking on street and close by.
Location description from owner : The Capital Region, Down Town
Reykjavik 101, the absolute heart of Iceland...
Reykjavik is the capital of Iceland. A small cosmopolitan city which has most of the things a traveler would need and want. Trendy shopping, fashionable cafes, great restaurants as well as theatres, museums and music houses.
The apartment has the perfect location, with most things just around the corner!
We are also very close to several tour bus pick up/drop off points, all just 2 to max 5 minutes walk away.
1 - 5 Minutes Walk from the apartment
Stroll down Laugavegur, the main shopping street with its many exclusive Icelandic design stores, restaurants, cafes, 24 hour supermarket... Plus one of Iceland's ubiquitous Bonus supermarkets, and Sandholt, arguably the best bakery in Reykjavik. Then cool off again at Sundhollin, the oldest geothermal swimming pool in Reykjavik with its original 1930's features and hot tubs on the balcony, recently completely renovated and expanded, where you can swim or just relax in the warm water pools, steam room and jacuzzis, whatever the time of day. Enjoy a delicious cappuccino and slice of carrot cake in one of the cosy coffee bars close by, and if you feel like staying in and ordering a pizza, we have the absolute best pizzeria in Reykjavik just a little way up the road!
5 - 10 Minutes Walk from the apartment
Visit Hallgrimskirkja, Iceland's very own Empire State Building, a beautiful church that's illuminated with colours at night... Or go down to the sea, stand at the coastline and just enjoy... And check out Solfar, Jon Gunnar Arnason's beautiful sculpture of a viking ship, situated at the water. Visit the antiques and fleamarket at Kolaportid.
10 - 15 Minutes Walk from the apartment
Feed the ducks at Tjornin, the big City Pond. Afterwards, pop into the City Hall and have a look at the enormous 3D Reykjavik map. Have a drink on Austurvollur, the main public square surrounded by the Parliament and Domkirkjan, the oldest church in town. Don't forget to visit Harpa, Reykjavik's hyper modern Concert Hall. Stroll over to the harbour and join a whale watching expedition, then visit the Whale museum, or even Fly Over Iceland, and finish off the day with a delicious meal at one of the many fabulous restaurants Reykjavik has to offer.
Once you've booked, we also provide detailed information about the apartment, the area close by, things to see and do in Reykjavik, restaurant recommendations, suggestions for day trips etc.

The apartment was well-located, clean, and spacious. Sue was superb at responding to questions and providing information. Check-in was seamless, especially if one has traveled a fair bit and is used to the VRBO experience. The location was particularly nice, as it was close to shopping and restaurants, with just enough distance from them to feel as though you were in a real Reykjavik neighborhood. Great place.
Loved this apartment. Great central location. The host made sure we had everything we needed. She was easy to communicate with. It was clean , well stocked, roomy and very very comfortable. I would definitely book again.

It was a great pleasure to host you - good to hear that you enjoyed your stay, and thank you for your kind review. You'd be most welcome to stay again!
The apartment was very clean and comfortable. The communication with the host was great, she answered every question very promptly and before our arrival sent great information about the surrounding area including parking details which was very helpful. The location was perfect, we were able to walk to see sites as well as to dinner every evening. The apartment is close to very good restaurants and shops. We asked for a late check out and we were accomodated which was much appreciated. If I'd ever return to Iceland I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Sue is an amazing host who provided not only a wonderful space but great information about the area. The location of her property is perfect for enjoying every aspect of the city. Sue has a well stocked place with all the amenities necessary for any length of stay. And upon arrival, there was a bag of coffee waiting on the counter for weary travelers. Thank you, Sue!

A great location and surprisingly large space make this a great home base in Reykjavik. Sue was easy to get in touch with and she provided great recommendations on what to do in town.
We had a fantastic experience staying here for a week. The location is the absolute best! We walked to food, bakeries, and shopping.

We would definitely stay here again and I recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic location and a wonderful host.
