This was the perfect place for our weekend stay in Iceland. We were three travelers in one apartment and they provided us with three twin beds. It was a great surprise since one of us had been expecting to sleep in a pull out couch. We got in at 11 am and they safely stored our luggage before our check in time.
The location is fantastic - walking distance to shopping, eating, and a bus stop that has 5 different lines. Parking is free and easy to find in this neighborhood. The hosts were friendly and we were given lots of tips for the area by one of their employees. We would stay here again!
It was an excellent choice located in the central proximity of the city. Quiet, clean and well managed. Very prompt and helpful communication from the property manager.
We were very comfortable in our room and a lot of the main sites in Reykjavik were within walking distance. Also, our host was very friendly and made sure we were comfortable in our rooms.
We stayed here twice--on the first night of our trip, and the next to the last night. Different rooms each time, both were well maintained, clean, and handy. The rooms are in the side "annex", at the right of the picture. The area is quiet, and a perfect location.
The room was very comfortable and well-cared for. The woman who ran the guesthouse was extremely accommodating and very kind. We would recommend this place to everyone.
