We absolutely loved Jon’s penthouse apartment! It was clean, comfortable, had everything we needed, and Jon was a great host. The location was the best. We enjoyed having easy access to all the shops and restaurants, plus it was centrally located for exploring Reykjavik. We rented the parking spot from Jon, which made parking super easy. We are already talking about our next trip to Iceland and we would love to stay here again!

GREAT listing!
Jon’s apartment was exactly what we had been looking for during our stay in Iceland. It was very clean, fully stocked with all of the amenities plus some extras like a mobile hot spot. The designated parking space was a bonus as parking wasn’t always easy in the area. It was a great location, walking distance to all of the good cafes and restaurants. Jon was very prompt in his responses always going above and beyond and even offering recommendations. If we come back to Iceland, we will be sure to rent from him again!

PERFECT Rental!
This was my best VRBO experience ever. The apartment is lovely, comfortable, and immaculate, with everything you could possibly need. It is right smack in the middle of Reykjavik's main downtown street, modern in both decor and amenities, and, for the record, the only one we found in Reykjavik with a tub (as opposed to shower only). And it isn't just an ordinary bathtub: it's enormous! The hot water is endless. Jon, the host, provides extras that go above and beyond: he left a mobile wifi hotspot for us to use, which saved us from paying for international cellular and worked much faster than cellular would have. There are even rain ponchos in the closet. Jon is an outstanding host. He checked on us regularly, responded within minutes to any messages we sent, and was beyond gracious and helpful. There is a dedicated parking spot in the building's garage that we rented for $20/night, which was well worth it. I don't have one negative thing to say (and trust me, I can be a bit of a picky princess). I have rented many VRBOs - easily over 20 - and I have never been 100% satisfied as I was with Jon's place. Trust me: you want to rent this place.

Great flat and Jon was fantastic with comms beforehand. The location was absolutely first class in the heart of city - exactly where you need to be. Apartment was also great, all you could need, with shops and bars very close by indeed. Could not recommend this apartment any more - give it a try!

Amazing location, spacious apartment and great host
Right in the centre of Reykjavik within walking distance of so many sights, shops and activities that you have to choose which ones out of the array to go for. Host helpful and welcoming. Good instructions about how to get there and a wide selection of books and leaflets in the apartment to help you decide where to go. Lots of opportunities to join organised tours within walking distance; we combined organised trips with own choice days out and used the excellent parking garage under the apartments for the hire car. Very much recommend.

Great penthouse apartment in Reykjavik
Jon was quick to reply to all my messages, the place couldn't have been in a better location, and everything we needed to prepare meals for the week was there. The place was very clean, views were amzing, and the bed was very comfortable. When we return we'll be staying here again for sure!

We had a wonderful stay. Even though there was a last minute glitch with the apartment we rented we were given an alternative apartment in the same building. Jon's communications were amazing. His video about the apartment and checkin check out process was a great help. Would also highly recommend the apartment location.

Great downtown location
Jon’s attention to detail for this rental is great. His intro video was the best I have ever seen. There were no issues with the penthouse for my family of four adults. We will be back soon! This is a great location and it is walking distance to most everything. The apartment is in good condition and it all worked as designed. We had no issues at all.

Take me back!
Iceland was amazing and this house made our stay in Reykjavik that much better. It's right on the main strip and SO close to Sandholt, which for me is where it's at. You're far enough away from the bustle of the main square but close enough it's only a 10 minute walk to the other side of the city square area. Jon was a pleasure to work with, he was very responsive, very accommodating, and the house was clean! This is my second time staying in this apartment and will be my first choice when I return next time as well.

Best location and best host
The penthouse with its balcony and location is the best in Reykjavik .Still the host Mr Jon is the highlight of this property .Extremely helpful and always ready for any need . The penthouse has very nice views from both sides and famous church of Reykjavík is seen from the living room .Laugavegur is the most famous street in the city and being in this street was a bonus because we were coming back to the penthouse to have rest before returning to the street again which is not very easy to do in every rental .Thank you Jon .the penthouse is highly recommended .

Wonderful space in city central
My husband and I really enjoyed the proximity to the downtown area. There are plenty of wonderful restaurants to select from within walking distance as well as grocery stores. The owner of the property lent us a hotspot during our stay which was invaluable without it we would like of been lost. Reykjavík was a wonderful city in a wonderful country and staying in this property made the whole experience more comfortable.

Perfect base from which to explore Reykjavik
Modern, clean, secure, quiet, fully equipped apartment with stunning views, centrally located near to all the city’s great restaurants, stores, and attractions. We walked everywhere! Grocery store next door. Best coffee in Reykjavik a few steps away. Multiple bus stops nearby for easy access to Golden Circle and Northern Lights Tours. Temperature control, lighting, Wi-Fi, ventilation, hot and cold water in the apartment all excellent. All appliances, including dish washer and clothes washer, worked well. Our host was exceptionally gracious and communicative, and eager to meet all our information needs.
