Beautiful apartment, thoughtfully designed and decorated. Lots of special touches. The off-street parking made it easy to come and go. Located within easy walking distance of grocery stores, restaurants, and the heart of the old city. Arsaell went out of his to help us with an urgent matter. Highly recommended.

This was a a fabulous place and a perfect location. The apartment had everything needed for our stay and we were able to easily walk to restaurants and shops in Reykjavík. The location was very safe and there was free off-street parking. We especially appreciated the great communications and the flexibility from our host Saeli.

It is a very charming and cozy studio apartment, perfect for an adult couple or single person visiting Reykjavik. It is central and even walking distance to many of the main points in downtown. The hosts were wonderful - and made it so easy to check in, stay, and check out again. I was great !

Well appointed apartment with nice kitchen, living area, and separate sleeping area. Great host. Just one block to south end of vibrant downtown shopping and restaurant district. So many great places for eating and drinking. Every kind of shop within walking distance. Pickup point for airport shuttle and expedition buses is two blocks away.

We really enjoyed staying in this well-equipped, spacious apartment. The free parking was a real bonus. The area is very central but is very quiet as it’s surrounded by embassies. The nearest supermarket is less than 10 minutes walk. I’d definitely stay here again.

Traveled with my daughter and our first few days in Iceland were spent in Reykjavik. Arsaell's home was a perfect spot to explore the downtown area from. Having a place to park was hard to beat as anything we wanted to do in the area was a short walk and easy access if we wanted to explore outside the city. Perfect, cozy, clean home. The washer and dryer were a nice perk. Although we only spoke with Arsaell as we were leaving, I'm sure had we needed anything or had any issues they would have been addressed without a problem. Seemed a lovely man.

Sali is an excellent host! (We stayed 6 nights and rented a car.) His check-in time is earlier than 99.9% of others allowing to drop off luggage and starting your adventure free from worrying about your belongings upon arrival in the city. There is a dedicated parking space for you in case you’re staying in the city and walking around. Parking in Reykjavik is very expensive! The apartment is very comfortable! All kinds great surprise touches…pantry items, instructions for the washer/dryer, blanket on the sofa, shower items….the little things that mean so much. The location is absolutely amazing…near everything and you can walk everywhere, even the bus terminal if you’re taking a tour. Sali was very response to any questions. The only thing we weren’t prepared for is that he didn’t tell us how much we wouldn’t want to leave😍😂 Kristy & Jeff

This was an amazing location from which to explore Reykjavik for a few days. More than enough room with a very accurate VRBO listing. Everything was as advertised. Enough room that you're not tripping over each other. Great location at the bottom of the shopping district. Close to all major transit lines, as well as the stops used by the various tour companies. Short walk to some fabulous restaurants like Apotek and Food Cellar. A bit further to spots like Dill, Ox and Sumac, but an easy walk or convenient transit ride. Even though we accessed the flat using a lockbox, the owner still checked in to make sure everything was okay and to see if we had any questions. We would not hesitate to book this again when we return.

The apartment is comfortable, well-appointed, well-designed, clean, and close to everything. If you have a car and plan to take road trips, this is a good place to stay because it has a dedicated parking space and is situated in a part of the city that is easy to get in and out of. The host is friendly and very helpful. We enjoyed our stay!

This property was perfect for our needs. It was within easy walking distance of the historic center of town, pubs and restaurants, and pick-up bus stops for tours and transportation to/from the airport. For a studio, the apartment was roomy with a separate, modern kitchen that had a lot of cooking staples available. The king-size bed was comfortable, and the partitioned bed area was quiet for sleeping. We arrived on a cruise ship, and the owner was very accommodating in letting us drop off our luggage early so we could do some exploring before check-in time.

The studio was excellent and I would definitely stay again. Met Saeli on D1. Easy walking distance to everything. The free parking spot was a plus. The studio had many amenities including a kitchen, modern appliances, W/D, Wi-Fi, espresso machine, tv. Nicely furnished. 5/5.

Saeli’s place is spacious compared to our next stop! We loved the bed! Location was terrific- close to everything. Washer/dryer was a bit hard to figure out but we did. The seat cushion in the kitchen bench was a terrible fit but overall that was a minor thing. We would stay there again in a HEARTBEAT! It was quiet, calm, easy access for excursions (Bus stop#1) was only 2-3 minutes away and it had an overhang for rainy mornings. We were amazed at the geothermal heating throughout the whole town.

Beautifully decorated and maintained. Walking distance to marina, restaurants, food markets, Harpa Concert Hall. Great place to stroll around town. Big bonus is the dedicated parking spot as parking in town can be limited and expensive. We stayed for a week and traveled to Vik and the Golden Circle daily. Had the best time!

We were very excited about our Iceland vacation and so pleased with the apartment that Sæli provided. The building is 100 years old and Sæli has completely renovated it in the past 10 years. It is a spacious studio with super-comfortable King bed, large living room, fully-equipped eat-in kitchen and an extra-sized bathroom with washer/dryer combo. The location is a short walk to downtown restaurants, museums and shoppes. There’s parking for 1 car available. Would definitely stay here again. 3/19-3/23 2023
