Here is what some of our previous guests had to say:
Peter:
Very well equipped comfortable apartment in a good location. Excellent communication and plenty of information about things to do and places to eat, etc. from the hosts!

Beverly:
The whole adventure was awesome and this property just added to the perfect mix! We will return to Iceland and this property!

Alex:
Beautiful property and lovely location but most importantly it was lots of little details that made it great. There were makeup wipes, dry shampoo etc stocked in the bathroom, washer and dryer with washing liquids provided. Messages and updates from the property regarding restaurant and sight seeing suggestions. It really was the little things that made a big difference!

Helen:
The apartment was perfect for out 6 night stay. Fantastic location, view makes you feel like you are definitely in Iceland. Great central location to all sights, supermarket, car hire, excellent range and choice of restaurants. Really prompt communication with host, extremely helpful, flexible and informative to help us get the most out of our stay.

Amy:
Lovely spacious apartment in a fantastic location close to lots of bars and restaurants as well as bus stop 4 for tours. Would 100% stay again if we return to Iceland and will recommend to friends to stay here.

Bernadette:
Location can’t be beat! Walking distance to a lot of restaurants and main street. Love the view and it’s spaciousness and all its amenities. All the tips in the binder were very helpful. The hosts were very accommodating! Would definitely stay here again!

Jasmine:
There is a lot to love about this apartment. The location is excellent--you can reach the main attractions of Reykjavik on foot, and you can see beautiful sunrises and sunsets right from the private balcony. The cooking facilities are good, with lots of cookware, dishes, glasses, cutlery, etc. so you can cook proper meals. The owners have clearly put a lot of effort into finer details so the flat feels spacious and homey. It was well-cleaned, and the beds were some of the best beds I have ever slept in (nice and firm, but with a bit of a pillow top so you get support with just the right amount of cushioning). It was a good location for getting out and seeing the sights, but also would have been a very comfortable place to just hide out on a rainy day. Comfortable seating options in the living room and dining room, all nicely furnished.

Great Location
Overall, great stay and would come again. Pros - great location (walking distance) for restaurants/shopping/groceries, clean and comfortable, great washer & dryer in apartment, fully functional kitchen with utensils, nicely decorated, property manager very quick to respond to questions. Cons - as with many cities, very challenging to find close all-day free street parking but there is a free gravel lot about 5 minute walk away. As expected with a ground floor location on busy street corner it can get a little noisy with traffic.

Nice apartment in good location
Modern, comfortable apartment near plenty of restaurants and sites in Reykjavik. Bakeries, grocery stores within 5 to 10 minute walk from apartment. We didn't have car, but parking is available. Apartment has dishwasher, washer and dryer, so can cook if you want and you can pack a little lighter since you can was if needed. Kristen is easy to contact, and promptly responds to your messages. She provides a good deal of local information if you're new to Reykjavik. We will return to this apartment in the future when we return to Reykjavik.

What makes this property unique

Just about everything you may ever want in Reykjavík is with-in a walking distance. Historic sites, city landmarks, restaurants, bars, super markets, churches, swimming pools, museums and concert halls are all with-in reach! Lets not forget the city pond with ducks and birds!

Icelandic food in general is based on fish and lamb, as well as owing much to Scandinavian and European influences. Fresh fish can be had all year round – Icelanders eat mostly haddock, cod, plaice, halibut, herring and of course Icelandic salmon and Arctic char that are also very good. The lamb, which is reared locally, is free range, organic and extremely tasty. Make sure you try it at least once during your stay in Iceland. There is also a heavy emphasis on vegetables grown in greenhouses heated by the natural geothermal powers.

Dairy products are very good thanks to the clean air, water and grass. Bars have table and/or counter service, and will serve coffee as well as alcohol. Alcohol is very expensive. If you would like to pick up some tipples, please do so in the Duty Free before you exit custom in the airport.

Tap water is safe to drink in Iceland and it is one of the countries with cleanest water in the world. Coffee is easy to find and is comparable to what is foundthroughout Europe. Juices are generally imported and made from concentrate.
