Wonderful Apartment!

This apartment is perfect. Beautiful and clean and very close to the town center and food shopping. There is a huge outdoor swimming pool with geothermal water for lap swimming just 15 minutes away, right next door to the World Class gym. Very convenient to access so many attractions. The host is wonderful. I highly recommend it!!

Helga’s place was easy to find and convenient to everything we wanted to do in Reyjkavik and beyond. It was very clean, kitchen was well stocked with cooking supplies and utensils. There were a few grocery stores nearby too. We were a family of 4 and we enjoyed having a comfortable living area to lounge in after a long day of sightseeing or hiking. Helga was very responsive to questions too. Also appreciated the private parking space. Finally, the place was decorated beautifully - as the owner is also a painter. We loved the Iceland inspired paintings on the walls. This is a 5 star spot. I’d return for sure.

We will be back!

My husband and I brought our boys ages 8 and 12 for their first trip to Iceland. We wanted a great “home base” with all amenities in case we wanted to eat dinner in and regroup after long days. This apartment was so wonderful! Great location, parking available and very attentive hostess. I’ve already sent this listing to many friends and we cannot wait to come back! Highly recommend!!

Great Place to Stay

We enjoyed our stay here very much. The place is beautiful and in a great location. Helga is the best! She was very communicative and helpful answering any questions we had. She added a bed to the place for us that was very nice and got us a reservation at a great restaurant we were unable to get into. One of my favorite VRBOs I have stayed with.

Great apartment, great location!

I had a wonderful stay at this apartment in Reykjavik with my daughter! The location is ideal—just a few minutes from downtown, but in a quiet and peaceful residential neighborhood. The apartment was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. Helga, the host, was fantastic with great communication throughout our stay. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for the perfect mix of convenience and tranquility in Reykjavik!

Great spot to stay if visiting Reykavik

Great little apartment with its own parking space that was close to a grocery store, downtown Reykavik and just about anywhere we wanted to go. Had a nice kitchen and even a laundry room. Perfect for our four-day stay.

Great place to stay

Apartment worked out really well for us. Was exceptionally clean and had everything we needed. Washing machine was great to have. Off-street parking and relatively close to downtown and easy to drive out of town to all the great sight-seeing in Iceland. Helga was helpful with suggestions and easy to reach if needed.

As said above, we spent 6 days in Reykjavik, enjoying the city plus visiting all attractions in 200 km radius. It was a perfect place to do this plan. Apartment was very clean, communication was super easy, check-in and out was super easy. We are very pleased with overall experience. For sure a place to stay.

Iceland stay

A very nice and clean property in a quiet and nice neighborhood. Host was available by email easily. Easy and quick to get to Reykjavik, a few stores within walking distance. Approximately 40 from Keflavik airport. Within an hour or two of many natural sites. 2 thumbs up!

Iceland visit

Never having been to Iceland we did get a nice overview on our bus trip to Glacier Lagoon although 15 hours was a bit much. Helga was very helpful in many ways and responded quickly to any questions we had . Her apartment was better than advertised and it was very convenient to downtown Reykjavík.

Great short-visit option

We enjoyed the property and the host, who was wonderfully communicative and helpful with advice on places to eat, shop, visit, park, and play. Great location for anyone visiting with a rental car, and some bonus items: 2 bedrooms for visitors is great Laundry to clean wet or dirty clothing is very helpful Off-street parking was nice Really wonderful, tasty food and an incredibly clean country compared to many places in America. Shockingly beautiful geography, and I can’t wait to come back!
