About the host

Hosted by Inga Oddsson

Host profile image

We’re experienced hosts and we keep things simple and reliable: professional cleaning, clear instructions, and fast communication. If you need anything during your stay, we’re easy to reach and happy to help.

Why they chose this property

Downtown Reykjavík is the best base for a first visit (or a short winter trip) because you can do everything on foot. You’re steps from the Old Harbor, great cafés and restaurants, shops, museums, and Harpa — and it’s still easy to reach tours and pick-up points. The area has energy during the day and beautiful light by the water, especially at sunrise and sunset.

What makes this property unique

The view and the location: you’re right by the Old Harbor with a beautiful ocean outlook, yet close to everything downtown. The apartment is bright, comfortable, and fully equipped for real living — a perfect Reykjavík base for couples, solo travelers, or a small family.
