This is a lovely furnished modern apartment. IMHO it's in the best neighborhood of downtown Reykjavik. The harbor views right from the apartment are priceless. One block walk to gourmet restaurants was incredible. Even the boat for our northern lights tour was one block away. The two major groceries are about a 12 minute walk. Harpa was about a 15 minute walk and safe at night. The apartment was very nice but for me the exceptional value was in location. Tip: city bus stop 15 is a block away, but tour pickup stop 15 is farther. Go to the rotary, take the first right, and walk toward the maritime museum.

My first experience using VRBO. The apartment was okay, and the communication was okay. What was not fine was a 10am check out (standard check out everywhere is 11am) and all the absurd fees after the stay, totaling 600 on a three night stay, including 200 for sleeping on the couch (!?!) What a rip off and a sad end to an otherwise nice stay in Reykjavik. I enjoy taking layovers in Reykjavik, but I wouldn't stay here again.

A refined, modern apartment in the perfect location in Reykjavik. Inga is a superb host, and is responsive, professional, and considerate.

Beautiful property! There is no on-site parking, but we were able to unload our items and use the elevator to the apartment. Parking is on the street where you can find it. Very clean property with beautiful view of the harbour. Close to everything. Loved you were within walking distance to everything. Would stay here again if we are ever in Iceland.

Charming, scenic, well equipped, and well located. However a little loud if you have people sleeping on the pull out in the living room. People were working on ships in the boatyard across the street until 10PM and then the street traffic starts up early in the morning. Also, was told the Flybus airport shuttle drops off across the street, but in actuality it was 2 blocks away. Not a big deal, but just FYI.

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.

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.
