    Other things to note

    ★ Please note that we are NOT interested in renting this property to loud drunken groups.
    ★ Guests can not smoke inside the house nor vape. If guests need to smoke they are asked to use the street entrance - not the garden.
    ★ As per Icelandic customs we take our shoes off. The floors are 140 years old wooden floors.
    ★ Guests are asked to keep in mind that any water spillage can damage the floor so please be mindful of that.
    ★ Please note that there are two smaller rental units in the basement.

    No Parties/Events

    Noise complaints will be taken seriously, and parties will result in a $2000 fine and immediate termination of the rental agreement. Respecting the neighbors is our top priority.

    The house should be quiet between 11PM - 7AM. It is a quiet family neighborhood, but if you are in the mood for a party, you are only a two minute walk away from Reykjavík's finest nightlife.

    Thank you for understanding.
