Here is what some of our previous guests had to say:

Peter:
Very well equipped comfortable apartment in a good location. Excellent communication and plenty of information about things to do and places to eat, etc. from the hosts!

Beverly:
The whole adventure was awesome and this property just added to the perfect mix! We will return to Iceland and this property!

Alex:
Beautiful property and lovely location but most importantly it was lots of little details that made it great. There were makeup wipes, dry shampoo etc stocked in the bathroom, washer and dryer with washing liquids provided. Messages and updates from the property regarding restaurant and sight seeing suggestions. It really was the little things that made a big difference!

Helen:
The apartment was perfect for out 6 night stay. Fantastic location, view makes you feel like you are definitely in Iceland. Great central location to all sights, supermarket, car hire, excellent range and choice of restaurants. Really prompt communication with host, extremely helpful, flexible and informative to help us get the most out of our stay.

Amy:
Lovely spacious apartment in a fantastic location close to lots of bars and restaurants as well as bus stop 4 for tours. Would 100% stay again if we return to Iceland and will recommend to friends to stay here.

Bernadette:
Location can’t be beat! Walking distance to a lot of restaurants and main street. Love the view and it’s spaciousness and all its amenities. All the tips in the binder were very helpful. The hosts were very accommodating! Would definitely stay here again!

Jasmine:
There is a lot to love about this apartment. The location is excellent--you can reach the main attractions of Reykjavik on foot, and you can see beautiful sunrises and sunsets right from the private balcony. The cooking facilities are good, with lots of cookware, dishes, glasses, cutlery, etc. so you can cook proper meals. The owners have clearly put a lot of effort into finer details so the flat feels spacious and homey. It was well-cleaned, and the beds were some of the best beds I have ever slept in (nice and firm, but with a bit of a pillow top so you get support with just the right amount of cushioning). It was a good location for getting out and seeing the sights, but also would have been a very comfortable place to just hide out on a rainy day. Comfortable seating options in the living room and dining room, all nicely furnished.

Why they chose this property

As for activities with-in walking distance from our Harbor Apartment we suggest the following amongst other things:

The beautiful Catholic Cathedral at Landakot is just up the street from our location.
The Old Cathedral by the city square, Austurvöllur, is about 5 minutes away with the Parliament building right next to it.
Hallgrímskirkja church, is a wonderful Lutheran cathedral with an observation floor at the top of its tower and houses the largest organ in the country, a ca 15 minute walk.

Perlan (Pearl) sits on the cities hot water tanks and has an outdoor observation deck, 360 degrees (another 15 minute walk from Hallgrímskirkja, 30 minutes from apartment, but with bus services).

The new Harpa Concert and Conference Center, home of the Iceland Symphony Orchestra is 3 minutes away, a magnificent architecture. Here you find a list of concerts, shows and other activities https://en.harpa.is/events/

A visit to a Reykjavík swimming pool is a must with its geothermal hot water and sit-in pools with up to 42+ Celcius. Our neighborhood pool is the Vesturbæjarlaug near by, 10 minutes by foot and there is a pool in just about every neighbourhood in Reykjavík.

What makes this property unique

We reccomend a day-long bus-trip called the Golden Circle. In one day you will experience Thingvellir National Park, one of the oldest parliament sites in the world, the original Geysir and its younger brother Strokkur and see how they compare to Old Faithful! and one of the most stunning waterfalls in Iceland, the Golden Waterfall!

Some guest opt to visit the Blue Lagoon upon arrival, since its close to the International Airport, KEF. There is bus service from the airport to the Blue Lagoon and then from the lagoon to the city. Others have chosen to check-out early and do this on their way to the airport. An unforgettable experience!

For great dining you have the Steikhúsið steakhouse just around the corner from Harbor Apartment, just turn right on Geirsgata street and in a minute you are there! http://steik.is/vefur/

Just a little further on the same street are two terrific fish and chips restaurants for lighter fare.

Owned by same award winning chef Hrefna Sætran are the Grillmarkaðurinn grill market and the Fiskmarkaðurinn fish market, both very near.
