About this property

Exceptional Luxury Apartment In 101 Reykjavik, The Centre Of Town

The second floor apartment sleeps 4 people in two double bedrooms. Just under 100m2, it has a fully equipped open kitchen and dining room and a light and airy living room with a partial view of Hallgrimskirkja and a beautiful bathroom in Art Deco style. Full oak floors / black slate flooring throughout. Decorated and refurbished with only the very best. We tried to think of everything: flat screen, home cinema, Wifi, washing machine/dryer, dish washer, iron, fully equipped kitchen, mini library with English (and some German) language books, board games - and even some Icelandic/Scandinavian art pieces and original art!

Further details indoors:
Children are of course more than welcome!
There's a high chair, a cot (with bedding) and 2 booster seats for the car also available in the apartment.
Towels and bedding for both bedrooms are all provided, and of course included in the price.

Further details outdoors:
Not far from the sea, extremely close to all amenities (geothermal pool, shopping, supermarket, artisanal bakeries, central restaurants and coffee bars and all museums and exhibitions) with easy (metered) parking on street and close by.

Location description from owner : The Capital Region, Down Town

Reykjavik 101, the absolute heart of Iceland...

Reykjavik is the capital of Iceland. A small cosmopolitan city which has most of the things a traveler would need and want. Trendy shopping, fashionable cafes, great restaurants as well as theatres, museums and music houses.

The apartment has the perfect location, with most things just around the corner!

We are also very close to several tour bus pick up/drop off points, all just 2 to max 5 minutes walk away.

1 - 5 Minutes Walk from the apartment

Stroll down Laugavegur, the main shopping street with its many exclusive Icelandic design stores, restaurants, cafes, 24 hour supermarket... Plus one of Iceland's ubiquitous Bonus supermarkets, and Sandholt, arguably the best bakery in Reykjavik. Then cool off again at Sundhollin, the oldest geothermal swimming pool in Reykjavik with its original 1930's features and hot tubs on the balcony, recently completely renovated and expanded, where you can swim or just relax in the warm water pools, steam room and jacuzzis, whatever the time of day. Enjoy a delicious cappuccino and slice of carrot cake in one of the cosy coffee bars close by, and if you feel like staying in and ordering a pizza, we have the absolute best pizzeria in Reykjavik just a little way up the road!

5 - 10 Minutes Walk from the apartment

Visit Hallgrimskirkja, Iceland's very own Empire State Building, a beautiful church that's illuminated with colours at night... Or go down to the sea, stand at the coastline and just enjoy... And check out Solfar, Jon Gunnar Arnason's beautiful sculpture of a viking ship, situated at the water. Visit the antiques and fleamarket at Kolaportid.

10 - 15 Minutes Walk from the apartment

Feed the ducks at Tjornin, the big City Pond. Afterwards, pop into the City Hall and have a look at the enormous 3D Reykjavik map. Have a drink on Austurvollur, the main public square surrounded by the Parliament and Domkirkjan, the oldest church in town. Don't forget to visit Harpa, Reykjavik's hyper modern Concert Hall. Stroll over to the harbour and join a whale watching expedition, then visit the Whale museum, or even Fly Over Iceland, and finish off the day with a delicious meal at one of the many fabulous restaurants Reykjavik has to offer.

Beautiful, clean, spacious apartment right in the city

We had such a wonderful time in Sue’s apartment. Clean, spacious, close to shopping, restaurants, and parking. It was hard to leave, as it had quickly become home. Sue was very responsive and accommodating - thanks, Sue. We know where we’ll stay when we return to Reykjavik.

This gorgeous place is perfectly situated in Reykjavik with easy access to many of the places you may wish to visit. We didn't need to rent a car, we just booked pick-ups from nearby locations (easily walkable) for the couple of tours we joined. The unit itself is fantastic -- comfy beds, well stocked kitchen, washer/dryer and beautifully decorated. For anyone considering staying here, note there are 2 flights of stairs to access the unit (although I have a wonky knee and had no issues). Highly recommend!

We were so pleased with the experience at this apartment. The owner was responsive to questions and replied quickly. The apt was in a great location, wifi worked well and we walked to most places in the city. Also close to bus stops for both tour and city buses if traveling a bit further. Comfortable beds, clean and spacious. Didn't cook much but that was our choice as the kitchen was stocked well. One note: there is a small refrigerator there, but no freezer. We were four including our two sons in their 20's. Highly recommended.

IDEAL location for exploring Reykjavik!! We got a good workout hauling our bags up 2 flights of stairs, hahaha, but it was worth it for the proximity to everything. We were also worried a little about the parking situation, but it was easier than we expected with EasyPay app and finding street parking in the zones we wanted to pay - plus it is free from 9pm-9am. The host was AMAZINGLY responsive, we appreciated her communications and help with a few minor things around the apartment, and she got things resolved quickly and efficiently!! Would recommend this location for anyone looking to enjoy the city from a prime location w/a host that sends fantastic information out before your arrival so you can get oriented w/recommendations and ideas. Stay here!! :D
