Loved staying here. So conveniently located right by all the best parts of downtown. It was a beautiful apartment with plenty of space, we walked everywhere! The only bad thing is finding street parking, but you just need to expect that in downtown. Absolutely perfect place to stay!

Super cute apartment in a great location to explore the city. Can literally walk everywhere from this location. Only stayed in the city 1 day before venturing out to explore the Island, if/when we return to Iceland, would absolutely stay here again. The only hiccup was on checkout day, I returned to gather my things at 11:06am and was locked out. Was able to contact someone with minimal effort, and let in to retrieve my stuff.

Very spacious and great location.

We stayed in Deluxe apartment A. It was very spacious and had everything we needed. Great downtown location with lots of stores, restaurants and grocery stores within walking distance. The sulphur smell from the bathrooms was pretty awful. Maybe that’s the same everywhere in Reykjavik (?) Could not get the TV to work and there was no dish soap or dishwasher detergent. But overall a great 3-day stay.

We love the location. It is truly in the heart of the city. There were 6 of us, the house has 2 bathrooms, but we were able to use only one, because one of them had an awful/strong smell. So that was very challenging to say the least. Also there were only 3 cups not enough to enjoy a cup of tea or coffee together, especially for a house that hosts 6. Beside that, it was roomy and comfy to stay in.

The highlight of this property was location, and location only. It was a reasonably priced property to lay your head. Just don't expect any extras, this included toilet paper for a seven day stay, we had to purchase are own. There is also no sound proofing and the suite we stayed in is on the ground floor, so bring good ear plugs. Would recommend if there were not other great options near by.

Wonderful stay. The property manager was very helpful and always responded quickly. The room itself was a touch small, but cozy, well stocked, and right in the perfect location. Will definitely stay here next time I visit!

Review of Apartment A: Excellent location; gets loud on weekend nights. Kitchen was OK but not well-equipped. Knives were dull. No measuring spoons or cups. Not enough drinking glasses for five people. Two of the coffee mugs were cracked and unusable. Interestingly, there was a springform pan available. Only three thin dish towels were available. In no way should this be considered a “full“ kitchen as was advertised. Nice toaster, however. There was a horrible smell in each bathroom from the toilets. We have never smelled anything like this in any other bathroom in Iceland. And we’ve stayed in many. No washcloths. Only one hairdryer for two bathrooms. No shampoo or shower gel in master bath. At least two of the upstairs windows had broken fixtures; used a pasta server utensil from the kitchen to prop it open. If you have any special needs which interfere with going up and down steps several times a day then do not stay in apartment A. No bathroom on the first floor. Labels on light switches would be helpful, as would hooks in the bathrooms for hanging towels. Upstairs bedroom at the head of the stairs is SMALL! You have to crawl across the foot of the bed to get into the bed. However, there were small nightstands with nightlights and USB ports on either side of the headboard. Really no place in the small bedroom for luggage; used bathroom across the hall for luggage. Luggage stands needed. Communication with owner was extremely bad; no answer to emails.

Fuyez c'est une arnaque

Nous n'avons jamais reçu le code d'entrée et avons du passer par le site ! la poignée de la porte principale étant cassée nous sommes restés deux heures dehors et n'avons jamais pu profiter de la ville, une personne devant rester en permanence à l'appartement. Bien décoré mais très mal entretenu, un seul radiateur en fonctionnement mais trop bruyant pour le mettre. Pommeau de douche principal hors service et seche serviette inopérant. Poubelles à l'entrée pleines et jamais vidées !!!! Tasse avec sachet de cafés utilisés à l'arrivée !!!! Condensation extrême avec développement de moisissures sur les appuis de fenêtres !!! C'est pas heart of Reykjavik mais WISH of Reykjavik. Un seul conseil, fuyez
