The house is just beautiful, clean and very comfortable. I love simple Icelandic style. It’s simple but very high quality. The house is very close to the famous church. Actually, you can see it from the bedroom window. It’s very easy to communicate with the host. I feel that I had been kind of bothersome prior to our trip, asking him many questions. He was always gracious and helpful. I already told Bjorn that we would be back. The cleanness of his house met even my standards! Thank you!

The best thing, by far, about the property is the location. An easy walk to museums, cafes and tourist sites, Moon Cottage is ideally situated for a Reykjavik visit. But, and it is a big BUT, the property is smaller than it appears from online photos and every movement can be heard through the thin walls. The bedrooms are up a very steep flight of stairs but the climb is barely worth it. I have not slept in beds this bad since my student days and three of our party left with aching backs. The fourth person was ok but only because they checked out on the first night and move to a nearby hotel. The listing claims to sleep six but the downstairs sofa bed has a mattress so thin that a better night would be spent sleeping on corrugated iron. The house is well-stocked, the host accessible and friendly but neither of those things overcame the awfulness of those beds.

We loved our stay at the Moon Cottage. It was very clean, great layout, and in the heart of the city, easily walkable to everything. Very quiet. We would definitely recommend and stay here again.

Good location.

The house was nice and comfortable and clean. Communication with Bjorn throughout the booking and during our stay was easy with quick responses. Everything that was needed was provided in the house, except a dryer...the house has a washing machine, but no dryer. Fortunately, the heated towel drying racks (there are 2) worked well for drying our clothes. The location is perfect- easy walking distance to the center of Reykjavik. We had a car and easily found parking on the street in front of the house without difficulty (one time had to circle around the block a few times until a spot opened). The neighborhood was quiet with a few of the "Cats of Reykjavik" hanging around occasionally! Highly recommend this location!

We absolutely love our stay! The location was perfect with easy walkable shopping and food! The house was well maintained and clean! We would would absolutely stay here again if we travel back to Iceland!

Beautiful property with extra amenities. Very clean and in an excellent location. Very walkable. Love the troll on the deck!

The Moon Cottage was perfect for our family foursome. Very clean and appointed. Close to everything Reykjavik downtown to walk. Would or will be back from U.S. someday.

Great home and location. Love the “hotpot,” (hot tub) on site. Parking on the street was easy. Will come back again!

From start to finish our stay at the Moon Cottage was perfect! It was easy to get to and in a great location, as we were able to walk easily to restaurants, stores and the Cathedral where all the fireworks were being set off on New Year’s Eve. The cottage was just the right size for 5 adults, was clean and had all that we needed. There was even a “hot pot” on the patio to sit in and relax after a long day of touring. I was in touch with the owner prior to our trip, asking questions about the cottage and he responded to me within hours if not minutes. Overall, we loved our stay in Iceland and would 100% recommend the Moon Cottage!

The whole family loved this place. The location is great and the house is adorable. Everything you need is there.

Enjoyed our stay

Property was clean and so close to everything! We were a group of 5 and the apt was spacious enough for everyone without feeling cramped. The electronic keypad made checking in/put a breeze. Also, great coffee shop and the best cinnamon buns ever was just a 5 min walk from the apt.

The Moon Cottage was absolutely perfect for our visit to Reykjavik. The apartment is located in an area that makes walking to restaurants and sites very easy. We were a family of four , with two bedrooms upstairs and a full bath with shower. The downstairs living room area was easily converted to a third bedroom as the access to the hallway and dining room can be closed to provide privacy. There's also a full bath with shower on the first level. We never had a chance to take advantage of the "hot pot" in the courtyard as we were too busy touring. Checkin and checkout was very easy with a lockbox code that was provided prior to our arrival. We would highly recommend this apartment!

The cutest place that had absolutely everything we needed. Great location!

Excellent property. Location is perfect.

The property was just as described on line. The location is terrific. We took several tours and the five minute walk to the pick up stop at bus #8 was very convenient. So close to shops and restaurants. The Harbour is also easily within walking distance. We very much enjoyed our time in Reykjavik and would happily stay at the Moon Cottage again.

Moon Cottage was just as described. The perfect place for a stay in Reykjavik and base from which to explore the surrounding areas of Iceland. Quaint in appearance but modern, comfortable and well equipped, the bathrooms and kitchen in particular. Service was excellent. We had some trouble with the locks, entirely our doing, and Björn was prompt and pleasant in responding to us. Highly recommend.

We have stayed at many rental properties and this one is in our top 3. The house is immaculate and very well furnished/finished. Great area with plenty of street parking, walkable to plenty of sites, shops and restaurants

Exactly as depicted in the photos, the Moon Cottage was a delightful, clean, comfortable place for our four nights in Reykjavik. Björn was always helpful with the few queries we had prior to arrival and the check-in by pre-sent code was seamless and unrestrained by a set time. All in all a wonderful home away from home.

Small 2-story house is fully equipped with all the essentials. Excellent location, near the Hallgrimskirkja. 5 minutes from the Pond, and 15 minutes from the harbor. On the main floor, there is a kitchen, dining room, living room, bathroom, and outdoor patio with hot tub. Bedrooms and another bathroom are on the second floor, up a stairway that is rather steep. Owner was very helpful, providing a map showing recommended restaurants and other amenities in the area. A great find!

This is a cute little house, centrally located in the middle of Reykjavík. We were able to walk to all sites. It is also close to a number of grocery stores and has a nice dining area to facilitate home cooked meals. It also has an unusually good number of electric outlets though out the house. A few things to note: * We were 5 adults, and, as we were using the living room as a third bedroom, there was not a lot of extra space for hanging and socializing. * We arrived at 8pm on a weeknight and had to park pretty far away. There were rarely parking spaces open directly in front of the house. * To reach and use the microwave on top of fridge, we had to stand on a chair. * There is a nice new washing machine in the upstairs bathroom, but no dryer or drying rack. * There were some supplies in the kitchen (plates, pots and pans, knives), but be prepared to buy spices or other condiments * Check Google street view for a picture of the outside of the house, as nextdoor is also house #22. The cozy house uses space very efficiently, with drawers and shelves to unpack in each of the three sleeping areas. There is a large dining room table and doors that open onto the back patio to create airflow and the feel of open space. The hotpot (i.e., hot tub) in the back was great and provided an authentic Iceland experience :) The bathrooms are both nice, with heated floors, great towels, and a nice rock floor in the shower. Overall, a nice place to Reykjavik, especially if you are four or fewer people.
