I would recommend this apartment to any group travelling to Iceland. The location is perfect. You are right on rainbow road within walking distance to shops, restaurants, bus stops, taxis, and the harbor. If you want to see as much as possible in the capital city - you need to be at this location. Too many of the hotels are not within walking distance of the main city streets. Bring earplugs as the street below is very loud all night.
The penthouse apartment is on the top floor which requires three intense flights of stairs. The stairs were exhausting for our group of agile travelers but it was worth it each day. I do not recommend this apartment for anyone with mobility issues as it would be very difficult to go up and down the stairs + bringing luggage up and down the stairs.
The penthouse apartment was as pictured - 4 bedrooms, two bathrooms and a spacious kitchen and living area. We had 6 guests stay in the unit and we all had plenty of room. The main bathroom is spacious with a window with the second bathroom being a wet-bath.
Make sure you reach out to the host 10 days prior to arrival to confirm you received check-in information. We did not receive the information which made check-in stressful. However once we were in the unit all was well. You only receive one set of keys for the unit.
When scheduling any excursions choose bus stop 3 or 6 as those will be closest to this unit.
I would stay here again.

Large place in the heart of the shopping district of Reykjavik. This property has significant space for larger parties.

The location of the apartment is convenient in some aspects because it’s right at the end of rainbow road so there’s plenty of restaurants choices and shopping nearby. The main area of the apartment was nice, clean and open. But, there were several cons that if I had been aware of, I would have chosen another place to stay: Apartment is on the third floor and there’s no elevator. We had 3 elderly people traveling with us, which made this nearly impossible; there is no parking - we needed to park and pay about 1/2 mile away; there was a washer but no dryer; one of the showers does not have a lip so the water pours out all over the floor when showering; several of the windows were broken and unable to be opened which made for a very warm 3rd story apartment during the summer; because the apartment is right at the end of rainbow street, there is a lot of commotion, yelling, drunk people right outside which did not really quiet down until almost 3:30 AM.

Overall, I would highly recommend this apartment. Here are the "pros":
* It had four good-sized bedrooms and two bathrooms, a nice kitchen , a big table with lots of seats, a TV/sitting area, and beautiful views!
* The beds were comfortable with good mattresses and nice linens.
* There is a washer but no dryer. However, there is a closet with a drying rack that was very warm. Our clothes dried super fast overnight.
* The biggest plus of this apartment is the location, which is at the end of the "rainbow street" surrounded by tons of restaurants, shops, bars, and markets. It was within easy walking distance of all the major sites, as well as Bus Stop #3, which is on a pretty major street (can't remember the street name but the Hard Rock Cafe is on it). We took several tours that picked us up at that bus stop. There's also a taxi stand across from the Hard Rock.
And here are a few things, not so much "cons", but that I think would be helpful to know:
* There is no elevator so you need to be prepared to take three flights of stairs up to the apartment.
* No cars are allowed on the street where the apartment is; if you're being dropped off, it has to be on a nearby street. It is still very close, but just something to be aware of.
* It was a little hard to take a shower in the smaller bathroom as the shower is in the corner and there is no "berm" so water seeped over the floor.
We very much enjoyed our stay and loved Iceland so much! We plan to go back and would rent this apartment again!

We had a great time in Reykjavik. The flat was centrally located, walking distance to shopping and restaurants.
We will definitely be returning.

The apartment is at one end of the rainbow street so is surrounded by restaurants and bars. The two nights that we stayed there happened to be Friday and Saturday, and right across the street was probably the loudest bar in the entire area, so the music that we could hear clearly from the bedrooms did not stop until about 4AM. Another thing that we did not realize until we were at the apartment was that the building does have an elevator. So the apartment may not be ideal for elderly or small kids. Otherwise we enjoyed the stay.

Awesome location but not as described and poor service
This has been a difficult review to write because I wanted to really love the Penthouse apartment. It was challenging because we did not receive the check-in email through Vrbo. To get that information we had many issues contacting the management. They did not answer the phone several times or respond to any Vrbo messages for weeks in advance of our stay and during. We had to go directly to the management office in the city (which was not listed on Vrbo, we had to search for it) to get the code for the door, after which because we didn’t receive a checkin email we didn’t have the wifi password. To get that we called the management several times and finally got through. Unfortunately, once we were in the apartment, we noticed many issues and documented each one including exposed wiring near the shower, unfinished power sockets etc. It looks nice in the main area but the details are lacking. Convenient to have self check-in if you have all the information but I think I’ll give this a pass and stay at a hotel next time for a short stay.
