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.

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.

Great place to stay

We stayed 3 nights in this property during our visit to Iceland. The property is in a great location with an amazing view of the water. It is also close to the city center and bus stops needed to get to the main bus station. The property was clean and well appointed, we had everything we needed for our short stay. The owner was responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay there again should we visit Iceland. Highly recommend.,

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.

Old Harbor Stay

Very good set up and amazing location right by Old Harbor. Our host was very thorough with instructions and useful tips. She was very responsive when we needed a bit of additional info. Only minor drawback was traffic noise from the busy street at rush hour. All in all it was a fantastic stay.

Fabulous location and very comfortable

The apartment is just as they describe. There’s a nice view of the old harbor and the burger place, literally across the street, is very good and reasonably priced for Iceland. The apartment is in a less touristy part of Reykjavik, so you don’t step out your door into throngs of people. The center of the city is about a 10 minute walk, and you are in the throngs about 5 minutes after that. Supermarkets are about a 15 minutes walk to the end of the old harbor. Nice place. No complaints.
