Emails are important

Our trip started by NOT receiving the information to enter the property by email as promised. So after a day of travel we were lucky for the kindness of strangers to Contact the property manager and confirm the stay and get the information. This stress was not fun ! We asked for extra pillows, which were not available. And overall the apartment was well appointed and clean .

Loved the location of this property. Communication was EXCELLENT with host. Provided coffee was a nice perk! Easy to walk to restaurants and shopping. Apartment was spotless! Only downside was it was fairly dark in the apartment. Poor lighting especially in bathroom. Parking is an issue.

Convenient, clean, and comfy

Super easy check in, very clean, comfy bed, nice pillow. Could use a few more utensils to make the kitchen a bit more functional, but was able to cook all my meals there and it was nice to be across from the grocery store. Would recommend and would stay there again.

Very nice room, and very clean. We had an issue with getting an extra towel, and with getting a late checkout. Also, hard to find parking. However, other than that, it was an excellent room, right downtown in the heart of the action. And, emails were promptly responded to within a few minutes. They have a washer and a dryer and provide laundry soap, as well as all the basics, such as shampoo and conditioner. The room was an efficiency, so we could have cooked. And, big fridge. It’s a busy tourist area so not the quietest location. Beds were comfortable.

The room overall was nice and it's in a great location for sure. Definitely a few issues with communication and the check in process though. I never received an email before arriving on the day, so had to call and get instructions on the check in process as I arrived. Was then sent to a room that hadn't been cleaned and made up. After a short while I was moved to a different room for the duration of the stay. Dishes and cutlery still sitting in the dishwasher, very basic amenities etc. Also found out the parking that is on the listing isn't actually parking at the apartments, it is street parking on the road out front which is paid and has time restrictions. I think you are paying for the location here more than the rooms.

Clean rooms. Right in the center of Reykjavik. Supermarket right acros the road. Centrally located for shopping, dining and bustours. You can use bus stop 9. Large tv, king size bed, complete kitchen. Contact goes trhrough What's app and imessage. Fast and polite replies. Only remarks are: - Somebody used the fridge for fish. It still smelled like it. - This is a general thing in Iceland. Every house, shop building is 25 Celcius. So pretty warm to sleep in. But nice when you arrive :-)

I didn’t receive the codes for the rooms until I contacted the apartment myself. The codes we received were not correct and one of the apartments were occupied. Great location, quiet.
