Reykjavik Apartment - Perfect Location in Heart of Downtown

Large 3 bedroom Reykjavik apartment in the heart of the city for family holidays or romantic get away. Downtown Reykjavik and the harbor area are just outside the door. From the apartment it is a one minute walk to main shopping, cafe, restaurant, gallery street and 3 minute walk to the oceanfront, but located on a quiet street surrounded by historic Icelandic homes but just steps from the action. Plenty of space for a family to spread out and eat in. Well located so that you can walk out for a pizza or a romantic dinner near by, or a stroll along the ocean. The apartment has 3 bedrooms that can sleep 7 people in beds and we can provide a floor mattress for additional travelers. There are 2 couches that children can easily sleep on too. We offer a home like environment which appeals to travelers who do not like cold hotel environments. This is our family home when we are in Reykjavik and offer it to our guests when we are away for most of the year. A playground around the corner for the kids. The kitchen is equipped for cooking full meals. There is a full dining and kitchen table for meals. We have a parking spot in front of the apartment. And just a few minutes out of the city you have all the great nature that Iceland has to offer.

Perfect location. Walking distance to everything.
The apt had everything we needed for a family stay. It was in a great location and had a dedicated parking spot which was so helpful since we rented a car. There’s a LOT of construction going on in town and they started very early. Before 8. Also the hot water smelled very strongly of sulpher so quick or cold showers were preferred.

So close in!
We traveled with our family and their friends. So enjoyed the prime location for exploring the city and the day trips beyond. It is walking distance to shopping, markets, and all the night life activities. The apartment was great for all 6 of us. The kitchen was well stocked and we usually cooked breakfast and dinners there. Loved the local suggestions by owners.

Fabulous stay!
Our group included two adults and two teen boys. They loved being able to walk everywhere from the apartment, blocks away from the Bonus supermarket, stores, restaurants, cafes, fish and chips shops, museums. So convenient. The home is exceptionally clean, parking out front was easy and the owner was super responsive throughout our rental process. Terrific experience. Thank you Brian!

Great location with own parking space in the centre of town
The owner was very responsive and booking was easy. The apartment was a little hard to find due to the one way streets in central Reykjavik but once you knew the route it was fine. Very centrally located - ideal for walking to all the main sights, but close to the ring road if you have a car and can go further afield. The apartment itself has two small double rooms and a more spacious twin room (with pull out beds for extra children). It has everything you need (except a veg peeler!), the owner had even provided some adapters for UK plugs and a hair dryer, but the decor is quite tired, especially the bathroom (bath, shower, toilet all together so a bit of a queue for six guests in the morning!!) and the shared entrance lobby. Good value compared to many places in similar location. Bakery nearby for essentials, supermarket about 15 mins walk along the next street up (but has a car park so handy if you are self catering and need a bigger shop).

Clean and convenient
This apartment had all the necessities. It was a little less flashy than the photos would suggest, but that is usually the case. The beds were pretty comfortable, although one of them could use a new mattress. The location is excellent, although it just got a little noisy on Friday and Saturday nights--but nothing some earplugs couldn't remedy. All in all, great for the price!

great location, accommodating host
We had a lovely week in Reykjavik. This flat is within walking distance of everything in the city, and right around the corner from an airport shuttle stop (get off at city stop #6). Perfect for those attending conferences at Harpa, or who just want to kick around the city. Brian was super responsive. His place is highly recommended.

Perfect location!
Our family of 4 adults and 3 kids stayed here for 3 nights from April 17-20th. It was super close to bus stop 7 but also close to 6 and 5 near the concert hall. We were within walking distance to many shops and restaurants and about a 10 min walk if that to a Bonus grocery store where we stopped for supplies. Living room and kitchen area were very spacious! We anticipated having to have 1-2 of our kids on the couch to sleep but they set up an extra cot for us in one of the bedrooms so this was perfect for us. Wish we had a washer/dryer in the apartment but knew we wouldn't going into it. Tough to wash our things in the sink and lay them on the radiators (we had been traveling for 2 weeks prior so needed to wash things as we went; did not have time to take them to a laundry facility.) The radiator in the bathroom did not work. Otherwise, kitchen had all necessary things to cook/eat. Place was very clean and they supplied plenty of towels for us. Great place and would highly recommend!

We love the location of your apartment! So close to everything. The apartment was cozy and comfortab
Loved staying at this apartment in Reyjavik! Close to everything. Lots of light in the apartment with all the windows. Bedrooms were comfortable and the living room dining room spacious for the 6 of us. The kitchen was well equipped and easy to make meals in. The bathroom with tub and shower was also great. My only comment was that the linoleum in the kitchen is abit worn out and needing repair. We will return!

90% beyond excellent 10% could use improvement (if I could give 4.5 stars I would)
We just got back from Iceland last night and had an experience of a lifetime! We are 2 best friends turning 50 traveling with our teenage daughters. Our most important criteria in choosing where to stay was location, convenience, safety, enough room so we weren't on top of each other, and of course at a good price. This apartment exceeded all of that! Location: The location was beyond perfect (as every other review describes) bus stop 7 is a stones throw from the front door and bus stop 6 is a block away. If you are taking tours, this is where you want to be. The main shopping street is 1 very short block further and all of Reykjavik is at your disposal. The Bonus market is about 6 blocks away and easily walkable even when your arms are loaded with groceries. If location is important. This is the location you want to be in. Convenience: Having a full kitchen made it possible to save a ton of money and also allow us to bring lunch and snacks on our tours. We made pots of coffee and breakfast every morning, packed a lunch every day, and cooked 3 out of 6 of our dinners. Food out IS expensive but we found grocery items to be very similarly priced as they would be in NY (granted not the cheapest state). We bought food for 4 for 6 days including salmon for dinner, cold cuts, breakfast foods, yogurts, soups, milk, beverages etc for about $90 US. Safety: The doors locked well, the keys worked well, we never saw or even heard the other people in the building, the lights worked. The stairs were a bit steep but we had no trouble whatsoever with them (even with luggage). Room to spread out: The beds were comfortable, there was plenty of shelving for our clothes, the large sofa allowed all of us to sit comfortably. Brian was very responsive throughout the whole process, there were items left behind from others that made it that much easier such as spices, oatmeal, pasta (still sealed). Improvements: The handle on the oven broke off on our last night, the coffee maker has to be very carefully positioned or when the coffee drips it will drip all over the counter, it should really be replaced. It also didn't keep coffee hot. The microwave was incredibly loud. When reheating my coffee I woke the whole house, every morning. The light in the bath flickered a bit. One photo was hung so low that the person lying in that bed kept bumping it. By far the excellent outweighs the needs improvement and we would definitely stay again! Thank you so much Brian!

Center of shops and food
It was a great location in the center of everything. Everything is within walking distance. Parking spot is a plus, although we did have 2 cars, so one of the car had to find parking on the street. Apartment was very clean. Brian was very helpful, he contacted me before we left the state with the driving condition and weather since we had other plan to the south side before arriving to the apartment.
