About this property

Apartment with Ocean View, Downtown Reykjavik

If you want the best location in Reykjavík, this is it — right downtown, a short walk to the Old Harbor and the city’s top restaurants, yet genuinely quiet at night.
Rated 9.8/10 by guests, with self check-in, fast Wi-Fi, and everything you need for a smooth stay.

You are truly in the heart of Reykjavík — steps from the waterfront, museums, galleries, shopping, cafés, and the city’s best restaurants and bars. Everything important downtown is within easy walking distance, yet the apartment itself is calm at night, so you can sleep well (a rare advantage in the city center). Simply put: it doesn’t get more convenient than this.

The Apartment

Bright, warm, and thoughtfully equipped for a comfortable stay:
• 1 bedroom
• Cozy living room with a comfortable sofa bed and Smart TV
• Fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher and coffee machine
• Bathroom with bath/shower and complimentary toiletries
• Fast, reliable Wi-Fi
• Self check-in for easy arrival
• Quiet at night (no loud street noise)

Perfect for couples, solo travelers, or a small family — whether you’re here for concerts, culture, food, nightlife, or using Reykjavík as your base for day tours around Iceland.

Nearby Highlights (Approx.)

Hallgrímskirkja Church (1.3 km)
Sun Voyager (1.2 km)
Perlan / The Pearl (2.7 km)
Reykjavík Domestic Airport (about 2 km)

Northern Lights (September–March)

From the balcony you face the harbor and open sky to the north — the right orientation for spotting the aurora on clear, dark nights. Reykjavík‑KEF road trips to the Reykjanes peninsula or south coast are easy from this base, and you can warm up in minutes when you come back. We send aurora forecast tips to every winter guest at check‑in.

Easy Airport Transfer

Flybus pickup is about a 1-minute walk away, with direct service to and from Keflavík International Airport.

What Guests Say (9.8/10)

“Exceptional apartment… one of the best.”
“Wonderful flat in the heart of Reykjavík.”
“Unbeatable location — you can walk anywhere.”
