Close to city center, nice kitchen with all the necessary utensils, very clean apartment and we loved the Senseo coffee machine. We were able to find free street parking right in front of the building. Check in was super easy and Thorey did a great job at communicating the check-in process and was easily available if we needed him. Highly recommended we would definitely stay here again!
Having 3 ladies in the family, having hair conditioner in the bathroom would have been a nice touch but was not a deal breaker.

Wonderful
The ease of check in and check out. The cleanliness and how well stocked it was. Great place to stay if you want to cook easy meals and be a short walk from everything in central Reykjavik.
Could hear some noise through the floors, but it was nothing too distracting or limiting for sleep.

Nice location - walkable to the downtown area. Free parking across the street.
Tight quarters but we made it work. Needed more towels for multiple nights.

Our room was very spacious and we did not expect to have a kitchenette with refrigerator and microwave.
Visiting in the summer made the room very bright at night. It needs some way to separate off the bedroom from the light coming in the skylights.

The property is located near downtown and within an easy walk to everything you might need- great restaurants, coffee shops, bakery, landmarks and grocery store.
No disappointments.

Great location for Reykjavík we walked everywhere!
There was no shower curtain so the bathroom got wet but it was very clean and we were given extra towels.

Property location is within walking distance of center of town. Restaurants, tourist attractions and grocery store is close by.
We were happy with everything.

Pleasant
Small room. Very clean. Good location.
No facial tissues were provided. No drawers to store clothing. No shower curtain meant soaking wet bathroom floor every morning. Street parking was free but quite limited and often hard to find at night.

Optimal location for walking to swim pool and shops. The microwave and dishes were a pleasant surprise and added to the holiness. Lighting was excellent!

Location was great, it’s 5 minutes walk from BSI bus stop for the airport shuttle, and 7 minutes away from the city center.
The room we got had a huuuge bathroom(compared to the typical size for Iceland accommodations), instructions were clear and easy, bed was comfortable, hosts were very friendly, puppy dog was very cute and friendly. Everything was great! Wish we had time to stay for more than one day… but next time definitely!
The shower drain was slow, but it was no big deal. We let the hosts know and they appreciated us letting them know so they could go fix it:)

Very clean and comfortable 1 bedroom apartment on ground floor. Owner was very quick to respond to any requests we made. Within 9-10 minute walk to bus terminal, bus stops and Hallgrimskirkja Cathedral. We were very pleased with the location. Wifi was very dependable.
Only issue we had was the television. It was not working in our apartment and we would have liked to watch Iceland TV.
