About this property

Refurbished Flat in Central Reykjavik in a Quiet Residential Area

A completely restored flat in one of Reykjavik’s “funkis style” houses ( one of the first architect designed residential houses in a planned neighbourhood), located in a quiet residential area, yet less than 5 minutes walk from the main shopping street in down town Reykjavik with numerous restaurants, bars and shops in the area. The house is typical of the area and is clad with what can best be described as lava like concrete coating for protection against the elements.

Reykavik's main museums, galleries and harbour (in case you want to go whale watching) are all within 5-20 minutes walk.

Our favourite seafood restaurant, Humarhusid (the lobsterhouse) is only about 15 minutes strole down the main shopping street.

10 minutes walk down to the seafront, 15-20 min walk to Öskjuhlíð where you can see all over Reykjavik and further.
The flat is less than 5 minutes walk from the local grocery shop, pharmacy and the central bus station.
The flat is less that 3 minutes walk to an indoor swimming pool

The flat is decorated and equipped to a high standard.
The flat is heated by underfloor heating controlled with wall-mounted dials.

The flat is entered from outside, down steps through the entrance door which leads to a tiled hallway.
The kitchen is fitted with electric hob and oven, fridge and microwave. There is coffee maker and all main kitchen utensils, crockery and cutlery.
The bathroom has a large walk in rain shower, fully tiled with a wide sink and large mirror.
The bedroom has a queen sized comfortable double bed.
The open plan lounge has a sofa bed which converts to a double bed, comfortably sleeping two adults. The lounge is fitted with a 50inch smart TV and two tall wardrobe units with hangers and drawers to accommodate your clothing and luggage.
The flat has wooden flooring throughout and tiles in kitchen and bathroom.

From the hallway there is an access door leading to a shared wash room equipped with a washing machine and fold-out clothing line to dry your washing.

Everything was wonderful! Great host, great location, easy to walk to bus stops for tours and airport transfer.We just couldn't quite get the TV to work (which is fine we are in Iceland after all!) and a lamp in the main room would've been very helpful. Would very much recommend.

My wife and I stayed for 3 nights in July 2025. It was a comfortable, relaxing, and clean apartment. Kitchen facilities where we were able to prepare a couple meals ourselves were appreciated. The location was excellent and we were able to walk to Laugavegur, Hallgrimskirkja, and other locations nearby. Thank you!

Great Flat in Reykjavik

Lovely stay in a great location. Easy check in/check out, lots of free overnight parking on street.Walking distance to Laugavegur for restaurants, walk to Hallgrimskirkja, shops and other restaurants, Harpa. Also easy to just drive in and park near Harpa. Flat was perfect for the three of us, with a comfy sofa bed for our 9 yr old. Would recommend some type of eye mask for sleeping in the summer.
