Wonderful Visit - Perfect Stay

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 !

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.

Lovely apartment, great location

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.

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.

It was very nice stay in Reykjavik

The room was more spacious than I had imagined, yet stylish and comfortable enough for a one-person stay.The location was also great, just a few minutes walk to the center of Reykjavík.The only thing that was a little confusing was the location of the key box, so if the owner has time, it might be a good idea to add that.
