About this apartment rental
ENJOY A LAST MINUTE DISCOUNT FOR OCTOBER 2024!
The apartment sleeps 4 people in two double bedrooms. It has a fully equipped open kitchen and dining room and a light and airy living room with a partial view of Hallgrimskirkja and a beautiful bathroom in Art Deco style. Full oak floors / black slate flooring throughout. Decorated and refurbished with only the very best. We tried to think of everything: flat screen, home cinema, Wifi, washing machine/dryer, dish washer, iron, fully equipped kitchen, mini library with English (and some German) language books, board games - and even some Icelandic/Scandinavian art pieces and original art!
Further details indoors:
We have children of our own; your children are of course more than welcome!
There's a high chair, a cot (with bedding) and 2 booster seats for the car also available in the apartment.
Towels and bedding for both bedrooms are all provided, and of course included in the price.
Further details outdoors:
Not far from the sea, extremely close to all amenities (geothermal pool, shopping, supermarket, artisanal bakeries, central restaurants and coffee bars and all museums and exhibitions) with easy (metered) parking on street and close by.
Location description from owner : The Capital Region, Down Town
Reykjavik 101, the absolute heart of Iceland...
Reykjavik is the capital of Iceland. A small cosmopolitan city which has most of the things a traveler would need and want. Trendy shopping, fashionable cafes, great restaurants as well as theatres, museums and music houses.
The apartment has the perfect location, with most things just around the corner!
We are also very close to several tour bus pick up/drop off points, all just 2 to max 5 minutes walk away.
1 - 5 Minutes Walk from the apartment
Stroll down Laugavegur, the main shopping street with its many exclusive Icelandic design stores, restaurants, cafes, 24 hour supermarket... Plus one of Iceland's ubiquitous Bonus supermarkets, and Sandholt, arguably the best bakery in Reykjavik. Then cool off again at Sundhollin, the oldest geothermal swimming pool in Reykjavik with its original 1930's features and hot tubs on the balcony, recently completely renovated and expanded, where you can swim or just relax in the warm water pools, steam room and jacuzzis, whatever the time of day. Enjoy a delicious cappucino and slice of carrot cake in one of the cosy coffee bars close by, and if you feel like staying in and ordering a pizza, we have the absolute best pizzeria in Reykjavik just a little way up the road!
5 - 10 Minutes Walk from the apartment
Visit Hallgrimskirkja, Iceland's very own Empire State Building, a beautiful church that's illuminated with colours at night... Or go down to the sea, stand at the coastline and just enjoy... And check out Solfar, Jon Gunnar Arnason's beautiful sculpture of a viking ship, situated at the water. Visit the antiques and fleamarket at Kolaportid.
10 - 15 Minutes Walk from the apartment
Feed the ducks at Tjornin, the big City Pond. Afterwards, pop into the City Hall and have a look at the enormous 3D Reykjavik map. Have a drink on Austurvollur, the main public square surrounded by the Parliament and Domkirkjan, the oldest church in town. Don't forget to visit Harpa, Reykjavik's hyper modern Concert Hall. Stroll over to the harbour and join a whale watching expedition, then visit the Whale museum, or even Fly Over Iceland, and finish off the day with a delicious meal at one of the many fabulous restaurants Reykjavik has to offer.

We had a wonderful stay at this property. Sue was helpful and offered lots of great suggestions on things to do in the area. Check in was easy and the apartment was in excellent condition with everything we could have wanted or needed. The location was perfect, making it easy to walk anywhere.

Our family if 4 stayed in the apartment for 4 nights. It is spacious and well equipped with everything you could need. The living area has many windows and is bright and cheery. We enjoyed relaxing there after our full days of exploring. The location of the apartment is perfect… so close to the main shopping street but still quiet. Communication with Sue was seamless from booking to check out. She is a lovely host and provided great details and recommendations. Free parking was available a few blocks from the apartment and was easy to access. All in all, we had a wonderful vacation and so enjoyed our home away from home in Reykjavik. Don’t hesitate to book this lovely gem.

This lovely property was an excellent fit for our family of four (two adults and two older teenagers). The location was ideal, finding parking nearby was not an issue at all and the bright and open living space was an unexpected treat. The property owner was kind, communicative and very helpful right from the time of booking our stay almost a year in advance. We would certainly go back.

Been to Reykjavik a few times. This location is close to other apartments we’ve stayed in but easily the best. Everything easily walkable. Huge space, perfect for our family with 2 teenagers (a girl and a boy). Paid parking anywhere close, free parking 2 blocks away.

key lock was somewhat "tricky".

We had a short 3 night stay in Iceland, family of 4. This apartment was perfect for us. The location is excellent - very close to bus stops for tour pickups, or just walking around Reykjavík.
The apartment is spacious and clean. Having a washer/dryer is a great bonus as well.
Sue was very communicative before and during our stay- a great host.
Would recommend to family and friends and would stay here again for sure.

I loved this place! The location was perfect for wandering downtown for shopping and dinner and to the harbor for boat tours. Parking was a breeze, just download the parka app. It was a great space for us traveling with our son. Sue was also super communicative and gave great information.

Clean and spacious with great access to the town. Make sure you know the area's new paid parking regulations as costs vary greatly on which street you park on. The owner was very helpful in providing maps and recommendations.

Our family of 4 (kids 16 and 11) used Downtown Reykjavik apartment as our hub for our weeklong vacation to Iceland. The lodging is beautiful, spacious, quiet, perfectly located and so comfortable. Sue was super easy and on top of everything. She even took time to answer my traveler questions about accessing various sites and suggestions for our itinerary. I loved Iceland and want to return in a future summer. I would definitely use this apartment again.

Everything about this property was just perfect! The location allowed us to easily explore the city and it was such a warm and inviting place to come home to after a day of adventure.

Beautiful warm apartment. Welcoming and cosy. Wished we had longer in Iceland. Definitely check out Sundhollin pool. Perlan is also worth a visit. South Coast tour was a long day but definitely worth it. Already planning to return in the Summer months sometime. Fireworks were insane!!

The apartment is in a great location that is easy to find. It is close to shopping, restaurants and groceries. Sue is a wonderful host. She was very quick to respond to any questions. We never had any trouble with parking and felt very secure in the area. We will definitely be back for the summer this coming year. Thanks Sue

Clean, well furnished, great location close to a nice variety of restaurants and pubs. The kitchen, living room, and master BR are very roomy and offer good views of the area. The second BR is a bit tight if you have large suitcases. The only negative, especially if you have large suitcases, would be the 2 flights of stairs. Paid city parking (Zone P2) was available on the street close to the entry door. Our host, Sue, was easy to communicate with via email and provided lots of useful info about local food, tourist sites, etc.

This apartment is in the perfect location to explore everything Reykjavik has to offer. Within 5-10 minute walk, you are right in the middle of everything - shops, dining, nightlife. One of the bus stops for tour pick-ups is 1.5 blocks away. The apartment is beautiful and very clean. Our family of four (boys are 20 & 17) had an amazing time and are already starting to plan our next trip. Highly recommend the Wake Up Reykjavik food tour - learn lots of history of the city and get to try many traditional dishes!

Everything we needed was thoughtfully laid out. Very quiet, even though everything was within walking distance. Loved it. Would highly recommend.

Nice well appointed property with good lighting. Trouble opening front door because of loose lock. Must go up 2 flights of stairs. Very good location near main shopping streets but still quiet.

Wonderful host, cosy well appointed apartment & your knowledge of Reykjavik and indeed Iceland made our visit.
I will leave a small plastic bag in kitchen trash bin since I must leave at the ungodly hour of 4am.
Wendy left earlier this evening.
You should find everything in good nick; easy place to keep tidy.
Many, many thanks & kudos for presenting us with such a lovely home away from home.
Our very best to you.

Had a wonderful stay in our center of town apartment. Our contact with the host was easy and they always responded promptly.
The apartment is steps away from the restaurant and shopping street of Laugavegur. But far enough away to not hear noise from the street.
The beds were comfortable, the living room large for nightime gatherings, and the apartment was very clean.
It is 2 flights up for those with mobility issues with stairs. We heard the neighbors a few times through the walls, but it never was bothersome.
If we return to Iceland, we would choose this apartment again. Cheers!

This property was a perfect home for us while we were visiting Iceland. It was nicely appointed, had any appliances and utensils we needed when we felt like cooking at home, and was in walking distance to everything in downtown Reykjavik, just steps away from the main shopping street, coffee shops, restaurants, and sightseeing. The apartment is very specious, had comfortable beds and cozy linens, great bathroom with a shower. We definitely will return when we are back to iceland. We had a car rental and parking was simple to find, and Easy Park app was great help for paying on a fly. If you have an electric vehicle like we had, there is a charging station next to the pool that made our recharging overnight super simple. I highly recommend this place. Sue was an amazing host, proactively communicated to us details and was very responsive. We were fortunate to find this apartment and have such a pleasant experience. Thank you

Apartment is as described. We enjoyed having the space to gather together as well as room apart to rest. The location was very convenient to activities around town. One note for older people - there are stairs - two long flights that you must carry your luggage up.
Thanks for sharing your apartment with us! We would stay there again if in Reykjavik.

Apartment was very clean with a great location and mostly everything you need for a stay in Reykjavik.
5.0
The apartment is large and located on the edge of all the shopping and dining activities, so nearby, without the bustle. Washer/dryer/wifi/dishwasher. The beds are lowish with fairly thin mattresses, but comfortable. Very easy to communicate with the owner, and complete information provided. And just up the hill from a hotel where tour and airport busses stop.
5.0
We loved everything about this apartment!! The location is walking distance to everything but tucked away on a quiet street. Parking was easy. The apartment was spacious and clean. Sue was very accommodating and provided information prior to our trip which made for an easy arrival. We would absolutely stay at this location next time we visit Reykjavik.

We are here for two weeks in Reykjavik. This flat is fantastic. Comfortable, clean, easy walking distance to everything. Sue is fantastic to work with.
5.0
The entrance does not match the apartment. We were hesitant at first but once we made it to the apartment door on the second floor it looks just as described and the pictures. We enjoyed being able to walk to so many places in the city. The owner communicates often and gives detailed info about the apartment and the area. If you are looking to spend some time in the city you won’t go wrong with this place.
5.0
Excellent location, huge common areas, great shower, very bright and clean. Information package from the hosts was well thought-out and helpful. Easy to find street parking.
