The property was perfect for a family of four with adult aged kids. We were within walking distance to most everything we wanted to do. The view was beautiful and the deck was especially nice to look at the harbor and see the city too. It was convenient to have a kitchen and the sleeping accommodations were comfortable.

Loved our view out to the harbor. So many amazing restaurants nearby! Inga was a pleasure - super responsive and helpful when we asked for parking advice. Beds were super comfy - we used the pull out too and it was like sleeping on a cloud. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Fabulous location and very comfortable

The apartment is just as they describe. There’s a nice view of the old harbor and the burger place, literally across the street, is very good and reasonably priced for Iceland. The apartment is in a less touristy part of Reykjavik, so you don’t step out your door into throngs of people. The center of the city is about a 10 minute walk, and you are in the throngs about 5 minutes after that. Supermarkets are about a 15 minutes walk to the end of the old harbor. Nice place. No complaints.

Great Base in Reykjavik

The positive reviews are true, this is a great condo in a great location. Clean, spacious, and convenient to restaurants and shopping. If you never left the city you'd have access to everything you need. If you rent a car and explore this is a great place to come home to each night. Parking is tight but not terrible, and we only ever needed to park a few blocks away at most. We loved the hot springs feel of the geothermal water in the shower, and the patio is great, both for the views and for safely trying hakarl!

Maybe next time

We were looking forward to staying at this property so much. The owner, Inga, was easy to communicate with and easily accessible. Unfortunately, our flight had mechanical issues and we only got a layover in Iceland vs a couple day stay. I would definitely look at this property in the future. It was a bummer to lose the payment, wish it could be used in the future.

Excellent stay!

We stayed at this property from August 11-15 and enjoyed it immensely. The location and view are unique and we really made use of local bakeries and restaurants. The owner Inga and her on-site designee were communicative and helpful both in advance and during our stay. This was especially important when we could not figure out how to use the clothes washer the night before we were to vacate. Some written instructions would have prevented the need to call them for help. TV instructions would also be useful. These are minor points, however, and we'd highly recommend this apartment.

Awesome location-safe and central

We made a mistake with our booking because of the time changes so discovered that we were actually arriving a day early. Our host responded immediately and once she ensured that it was not already booked, she added a day and allowed us to add and go ahead and check in. Because this nice unit is on a busy street (during peak traffic times only- not all night and thankfully so many vehicles are electric now) you should keep this in mind. It had everything we needed and we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again, excellent!

Ideal

This was my very first time using a vrbo property and if all of them are as good as this I will be a lifelong customer. My fourth time in Reykjvik and my friend's first. I wanted a view of the sea or the harbour and a central location as my chief reason for being in Reykjavik is daily boat trips to see ocean wildlife. Everything about this apartment is 10 out of 10. It is two blocks from Bus Stop 15, making it ideal for the airport bus. The neighbourhood is full of great places to eat and drink, general landmarks and meeting places. Plus there are three supermarkets within 12 minute walk, one of which is open until midnight. The apartment itself is comfortable, spacious, clean, quiet and perfectly furnished with everything seemingly brand new and in working order, and extra bedlinens readily available. I'm ready to book again for next year if not move in. Thanks to the host for friendly comms and being so accomodating.

Nice apartment with a view of the old harbor. Close to several restaurants. Short walk to everything in the city center. The owner (Inga) was very responsive & helpful. We appreciated having a washing machine after several weeks of hiking in Iceland. We didn't cook in the apartment, but the kitchen appeared to have everything necessary to prepare basic meals.
