This place was in a fantastic location near the cathedral and it was very spacious. Just to be more clear, this is a 2 bedroom and 1 1/2 bathroom place (the upstairs full bathroom was very large). The master bedroom has an additional child size bed in the room. The laundry is downstairs and shared with others, not in the apartment, but we were able to use it. There’s some confusion about the check in time. VRBO says 4:00pm, but the email from the owner with the entry code says 3:00pm. We asked if we could show up early because we all arrived at 10:00am exhausted, they said no. So we showed up at 3:00pm and the place wasn’t ready. They firmly told us check in time was 4:00pm. I explained about their own email. So we had to wait and suffer. ☹️

It just doesn’t get any more conveniently located than this wonderful Reykjavik apartment. It’s comfortable, beautifully decorated, and easy walking distance to everywhere you want to be. We rented a car and always found parking nearby, often right in front of the house!

You can not go wrong with this sophisticated, comfortable apartment in the city center. A small issue at the beginning of our stay was quickly corrected by the extremely nice owner. As a bonus, the views are spectacular.

We couldn’t have asked for anything better than this perfectly located property. I scored big points with my wife and daughter for the coffee house vibe and artsy decor. We were able to walk to countless sites and restaurants, and even got a glimpse of the northern lights out of one of the bedroom skylights.

The apartment was perfect for our family and within walking distance to everything we wanted to see and do. The only drawback was that we had a rental car and couldn't locate free parking anywhere nearby.

The apartment was so lovely and fun to stay in. The location is perfect for walking everywhere in Reykjavik. I will say if you are renting a car, parking in any neighborhood is challenging. I hope we have the opportunity to return to Iceland and we would definitely stay in this apartment with no rental car!

This location was perfect. The condo itself is spacious and very artfully composed. Simply staying in Lisbet’s space was a unique one of a kind experience. The airflow through the space was wonderful. Beds were also very comfortable and the kitchen was great for cooking any meals we made there.

We stayed in this wonderful apartment for a week with a family of four while visiting the Reykyavik/Reykyanes area and the Southeast. The apartment is splendid, light and airy and fantastically located. It is spacious, well equipped, and has a great vibe about it. One thing to note is that very recently they changed the free parking boundaries but we were still able to park for free a few streets away. This may be something to keep an eye on in future if you have a car. Overall, a fantastic stay, a great apartment and a wonderful city and country. I would love to visit again and highly recommend this apartment.

Wonderful spot for our family vacation to Iceland! Two twin beds for our sons in one room and a king bed for my husband and I in another. Additionally, there is a twin bed in the master bedroom as well and a huge couch in the living room if we had needed it. Our youngest son really enjoyed the grand piano, we loved the convenience of this artistically, beautifully appointed home in the middle of such a quaint area of restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries, and gift shops. The owner has a very helpful list of all things needed and suggestions to make your vacation great! Take your family to Iceland now for an unforgettable week on what seems like an entirely different planet! Takk!!

My parents and I loved our stay here! The apartment is spacious and modern, with plenty of space to spread out after a long day sightseeing. A glass of wine on the balcony in the evening was the perfect way to wind down the day. The kitchen offered everything we needed to make a meal and the shops/coffee/bakeries were all very nearby.

This is one of the best properties we have stayed in over the many years. The location is perfect for exploring the town on foot - the church is a few blocks up the road and nearly all restaurants/coffee shops/bakeries/shopping that you would want to do are within a 5 minute walk. The apartment itself is spectacular - the bottom floor has high ceilings, a well-appointed kitchen, breakfast room with outdoor patio, living room with a large comfortable couch and other comfy seating, as well as a large dining room with a piano and great speakers for playing music. It was well-lit with natural sunlight and the decor was artsy and welcoming. We appreciated the half-bath downstairs as well. The upstairs two bedrooms are large and the bathroom is huge, with a soaking tub and separate shower. There is a view of the mountains, church, or water from the bathroom and bedroom windows. Lisbet was very communicative - check-in was easy, and the recommendations for parking nearby and local bars/restaurants was especially appreciated. We'd also been traveling for a while, so the option to do laundry was helpful. We'll certainly stay here again next time we are in Reykjavik. Absolutely great place with a great host.

We were a party of 5, 2 adults and 3 pre teens. This is a very unique, spacious apartment in downtown Reykjavik. Beautiful decor and a grand piano which my granddaughter loved to play. Very comfortable beds and fairly quiet despite being close to the downtown core. Bakery, ice cream store and swimming pool all a short walk away. Loved our stay here.

We absolutely loved our 3-night stay in this beautiful, comfortable apartment. Great location, wonderfully comfortable beds, toasty warm during a cold snap, quiet at night (even on Friday night), lovely furnishings and decoration. We also appreciated being able to check in earlier. We would definitely hope to stay here again! One note: it was difficult to open the lockbox where the keys are found; it might need to be replaced. Fortunately a friendly downstairs neighbor came out and banged the lockbox to help us open it. Otherwise everything was just wonderful.

We had a wonderful stay at this location in late February/early March. The photos don't do it justice, This is a 3rd floor apartment so there are stairs. The main floor has a spacious living room, modern kitchen, library with a balcony, a powder room, and a dining room that seats 10 with a grand piano. The decor is very eclectic. A tight spiral staircase takes you to the 2 bedrooms and full bath in the attic space. The ceilings here are slanted so probably not great for tall folks. There is a modern tub and shower, and the bedding is great. The location could not better, the house is on Skolavaroustigur a few blocks from the Hallgrimkirja and easily walkable to most of the city. If you have a car there is free parking on a side street and spaces are at a premium but we usually found a spot. Lisbeth is a friendly and helpful hostess and her dog is friendly too.

Beautiful property right in the heart of central shopping and restaurants and a 5 minute walk to the coast. The perfect location for setting up base in Reykjavik! We were traveling with 2 teen boys and this apartment was perfect - everyone had sufficient space to spread out, we were able to do laundry, and the artwork and historic nature of the apartment sparked great conversation. This is not a cookie-cutter apartment, it is stunning and the artwork was beautiful! Thank you for allowing us to stay at your absolutely charming apartment!

The location is excellent, however, parking is less than ideal. The floor upstairs is quite creaky, difficult to walk around without waking sleepers. We couldn’t find the bathroom light or how to turn lamps by the bed. There was no shampoo, conditioner or shower gel in the shower. The apartment is nicely furnished and comfortable.

This apartment was perfect for our family trip to Reykjavik. Our 3 kids slept comfortably and the location was great for exploring Reykjavik and meeting the tour companies for trips to the South Coast and Golden Circle. Looking forward to our next trip back and would certainly stay here again. Thanks for the hospitality!
