Other things to note
★ Please note that we are NOT interested in renting this property to loud drunken groups.
★ Guests can not smoke inside the house nor vape. If guests need to smoke they are asked to use the street entrance - not the garden.
★ As per Icelandic customs we take our shoes off. The floors are 140 years old wooden floors.
★ Guests are asked to keep in mind that any water spillage can damage the floor so please be mindful of that.
★ Please note that there are two smaller rental units in the basement.
No Parties/Events
Noise complaints will be taken seriously, and parties will result in a $2000 fine and immediate termination of the rental agreement. Respecting the neighbors is our top priority.
The house should be quiet between 11PM - 7AM. It is a quiet family neighborhood, but if you are in the mood for a party, you are only a two minute walk away from Reykjavík's finest nightlife.
