Here is what some of our previous guests had to say:
Peter:
Very well equipped comfortable apartment in a good location. Excellent communication and plenty of information about things to do and places to eat, etc. from the hosts!
Beverly:
The whole adventure was awesome and this property just added to the perfect mix! We will return to Iceland and this property!
Alex:
Beautiful property and lovely location but most importantly it was lots of little details that made it great. There were makeup wipes, dry shampoo etc stocked in the bathroom, washer and dryer with washing liquids provided. Messages and updates from the property regarding restaurant and sight seeing suggestions. It really was the little things that made a big difference!
Helen:
The apartment was perfect for out 6 night stay. Fantastic location, view makes you feel like you are definitely in Iceland. Great central location to all sights, supermarket, car hire, excellent range and choice of restaurants. Really prompt communication with host, extremely helpful, flexible and informative to help us get the most out of our stay.
Amy:
Lovely spacious apartment in a fantastic location close to lots of bars and restaurants as well as bus stop 4 for tours. Would 100% stay again if we return to Iceland and will recommend to friends to stay here.
Bernadette:
Location can’t be beat! Walking distance to a lot of restaurants and main street. Love the view and it’s spaciousness and all its amenities. All the tips in the binder were very helpful. The hosts were very accommodating! Would definitely stay here again!
Jasmine:
There is a lot to love about this apartment. The location is excellent--you can reach the main attractions of Reykjavik on foot, and you can see beautiful sunrises and sunsets right from the private balcony. The cooking facilities are good, with lots of cookware, dishes, glasses, cutlery, etc. so you can cook proper meals. The owners have clearly put a lot of effort into finer details so the flat feels spacious and homey. It was well-cleaned, and the beds were some of the best beds I have ever slept in (nice and firm, but with a bit of a pillow top so you get support with just the right amount of cushioning). It was a good location for getting out and seeing the sights, but also would have been a very comfortable place to just hide out on a rainy day. Comfortable seating options in the living room and dining room, all nicely furnished.

Everything was fantastic, we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to, and we had covered parking for our rental car that we used for longer distances. The bed was comfortable and the shower had great pressure. We’ll definitely stay here again.
Thank you!

This was great home base for us in Reykjavik. Property was as described and host was very accessible and informative. We were within walking distance to the harbor, shops and restaurants. Underground parking with heated driveway was nice. Very comfortable for a family of 4. Would definitely stay here again.

I booked this apartment based on the detailed reviews from other guests. They were spot on! This home is located in the perfect area to walk to everything! There are so many restaurants and coffee shops in the harbor area alone, then just a couple of blocks - the main district. Even in the harshest of weather conditions, we were prepared with the right clothing and shoes (micro spikes a must in winter with ice). We walked everywhere! The tours pick you up at different stops and this apartment is super convenient to bus stops #4 and #15. At the bottom of the street and across the main drag there are tour offices if you didn't book online. Walking distance to Bonus and a couple of other grocery stores. The communication from Kristin, the property owner, was unbelievable! She sent suggestions for tours, shopping and dining in the area as well as really detailed information regarding the items in the apartment. She also checked in upon our arrival to make sure we were ok and everything was good. And then on departure day, checked in to say safe travels and thanks for staying. I would HIGHLY recommend this apartment and would stay again if I return.

This condo is really good. It is centrally located, not far from the old harbor, has a garage parking space, and the unit itself is nicely decorated. We had all that we needed for a very comfortable stay. The hosts were very responsive to questions and quite helpful. I would happily stay there again.

My partner and I visited for a long weekend and the property was perfect for our needs. Kristin was wonderful to work with and her recommendations on places to eat were great. The location cannot be beat and the parking was ideal. We had a wonderful time and if we make it back to Iceland will definitely stay here again!

I cannot speak highly enough about our host Kristin and her apartment. It was a perfect location, clean, well furnished and very comfortable. Kristin is to be complimented on her responsiveness, timely communications and friendliness. We had a wonderful stay!

This is a perfect spot to launch a visit in Iceland. First the communication with the host was excellent. They provided a wealth of information to plan our stay. From where to eat, grocery shop and tour it was invaluable. Second, any question we had was responded too within 24 hours on our stay. The apartment is the perfect size for two, and even has a fold out couch for two more people. All the amenities are there to prepare meals and enjoy a home cooked meal experience. The location could not be better, 5 minutes' walk from the old center, and 7 or 8 to the large glass music hall. That's where most of the tours meet if you schedule any. There are plenty of restaurants close to the apartment, in fact right across the street. There's a bakery around the corner, fresh bagels every morning. Two grocery stores 8-minute walk away, highly recommend using the grocery stores. Overall, the best Vrbo we have stayed at. I recommend on the basis of cleanness, host support, location, amenities and comfort.

An excellent apartment right in the middle of everything. Great communication with the owner. The washer and dryer were so great to have after a week around Iceland. Would definitely use this place again on a return trip to Reykjavík

Apartment is great. Perfect location. We were able to walk everywhere in Reykjavik. Kristin is wonderful - so helpful and responsive. She gave us a lot of great information. Cannot recommend highly enough. A++++. Would definitely stay again.

My husband and I just spent a week here for our anniversary and loved the condo & Iceland! The condo was walkable to restaurants & bars and the garage parking was an added bonus! Kristin did an amazing job communicating with us and offering suggestions, etc. We would stay here again!!!!

We absolutely loved this apt!! Kristin and Oddur were very responsive and extremely friendly. Location cannot be beat- close to everything. Centrally located. Loved having an indoor garage with an elevator to take us up to our floor. We have been to Iceland many times and this apt is top on our list of places to stay. Coming back in 2 years and hope to stay here.

Perfectly located for walking to excellent restaurants, the harbor, tour / bus pick-ups, The Harpa and the Reykjavik high streets, this little apartment is a clean, quiet nest with all the comforts of home - even free garage parking! Kristin deserves 100 Host Stars! Her 3 PAGES of local recommendations of what to see, eat and do is spot-on. She is responsive and welcoming in every way. This was our first time to Iceland but will definitely stay here when we return!

Kristin was very responsive to all questions and concerns both before, during and after our stay and also provided lots of suggestions on what was nearby to do/see, where to eat, grocery stores and other helpful info. Having the underground enclosed garage was a fabulous benefit to us as it was unusually bitter cold during our stay. We appreciated very much the clear and concise info on access, as well as what and how to use things. It is a quiet, warm and very cozy apartment and the two of us enjoyed our stay. As we had prior to our stay been touring the south for a week, being able to use the laundry for a few items was a huge benefit! We hope to return to Reykjavik in the next 2-3 years and if available would not hesitate for a second to rent from Kristin again! We made sure to follow all the necessary "check out" procedures and I believe left the location with ONLY the usual cleaning between guests stays to do.

Great location, well set up apartment and just the place to stay for hanging in Reykavik

We had a great stay in this perfectly located apartment. Kristin was extremely responsive and provided great recommendations for restaurants and things to do in the area. The apartment was clean and well appointed. I can't say enough about what a great location this apartment is in. There were numerous restaurants and bars just steps away. It is also steps away from the harbour and whale watching excursions which was very convenient. We couldn't have asked for a better fit for our family. If there was one thing to improve, I would say the non-stick pan might need replacing.
4.9
The apartment met our needs perfectly! A very comfortable bed and spacious living area. Very quiet. Handy to have a well equipped kitchen for quick snacks. Many restaurants within a short walk, and the Old Harbor and many tour operators right across the street. Kristin and Oddur were very responsive and easy to communicate with. We were only able to stay in Iceland a couple days so did the required tourist activities - The Blue Lagoon (wonderful!) and the Golden Circle Tour. (Also wonderful and worth every penny.!) We really enjoyed our stay!
