About this property

Four double beds down-town main street.

Core of this house goes back to 1898 although updated in the forties and has recent new bathrooms. Two of the rooms are attic rooms while the third faces the garden and the fourth the street. Guests report their best sleep - especially in the attic although we "blame" it on the comfy beds and the wood core spirit in this house. Kitchen is full equipped but simple and basic. Big dining table in the Livingroom and not to cluttered with furniture.

Excellent location

Very well located in the very downtown, and we have enjoyed very much our stay there. The great inconvenience are the stairs; they are very uncomfortable for the ones who slept upstairs, even more if both toilets are in the downstairs.

It was an amazing location, quick walk to all of downtown Reykjavik's attractions. Grocery and pharmacy across the street. It easily accommodated eight adults. The host was responsive and flexible. Thanks for a great stay!

Absolutely PERFECT Location

We had a phenomenal time. The location was absolutely perfect. There is a grocery store across the street and a ton of shops and restaurants a few steps away. It is on a street that turns into pedestrian only a block or so down, so it was a fantastic place to stay. The only drawback is the often mentioned stairs and low ceiling in the upper rooms, but if you can handle that then I would definitely recommend this place.

Fun place for short trip

We had a great stay in Reykjavik! We had 8- 4 adults, 2 teens and 2 kids, and fit in the cosy house. The location was really nice! It was easy to walk to restaurants, shopping, bus stop, and do some sightseeing. 2nd floor ceilings are low and some shades could be better, given the long summer days. But, overall, a fun trip for us!

Great Location!

Excellent place to stay if you want to be right in the heart of the city and within walking distance to most tourist sites. The person that rents it out let us drop off our luggage early because we came off a cruise ship and then we did the Golden Circle tour. He was so courteous and personable to work with! The only issue was we had my 81 year mother with us and she had a hard time navigating the stairs. Also the upstairs bedding ceilings are a bit lower than expected so we bumped are heads a couple of times. However it was all worth it to be in this location and also drop our luggage off!

Perfect Location

This is a great apartment located in the middle of EVERYTHING! It has the two top floors. The apartment is spacious and clean. There are two bedrooms on the main floor and two in the attic. The beds were very comfortable. It is located on Laugavegur, which seems to be one of the main streets in town. It is a very safe neighborhood. There are tons of restaurants, bars and stores all within walking distance. Across the street is a grocery store so you may purchase food to prepare during your stay. Ásgeir is a GREAT host. He was very accommodating of our needs, and very accessible. Take him up on his restaurant recommendations. He knows what he is talking about. We had one of my favorite meals of all time at a place he recommended, Sushi Social. Check it out! Overall, it was a great stay for our Girl's trip. We would absolutely return.

Heart of Reykavik

The location could not be better. It was great for our children ( 6-8). The host was excellent and responded promptly. The kitchen and large table were perfect for our group of seven. ( For awareness the washer/dryer are out of the vrbo in the shared basement.)

Even better than expected

The place was spotless, and well stocked with cooking supplies. Spacious, comfortable, and ideally located in the tourist area and very close to downtown. Less than a 20-minute walk to the bus station for the airport bus. The host was very helpful, and communication was great.

Very good with lots of room for 5 of us. The top floor bedrooms had low ceilings so not great if you are very tall. Main floor bedrooms had regular ceilings. Grocery store across the street and lots of restaurants and shops nearby. A really good experience for my family. I would stay there again.

Perfect for Reykjavik Stopover!!

We had a wonderful 2 nights at this property before we headed north. It was very clean and welcoming. We loved cooking in the kitchen, it had all the things we needed to make a nice meal. And the refrigerator was big! Comfy beds and great dining table for game night.

Perfect Spot!

We were in Iceland for 4 short days and this apartment gave us the perfect base for our trip! It was within walking distance to all the great restaurants, on a cozy side street but, close to the main road out to the countryside as well. The apartment was as advertised and we all (5 adults) had plenty of room. There's even a great view of Hallgrimskirkja from one bedroom window!

Worked fine for us

The only problems were the two flights of stairs (hard for two elderly ladies to handle) and no indication that the two upstairs bedrooms had very low ceilings. My 6ft 3 son and his 6ft 41/2 best man could not stand upright in their rooms.

Fantastic Location and Fantastic House

We stayed 2 nights and thoroughly enjoyed the house. The location is the best you can get in downtown Reykjavik. It's close to everything. Just a few blocks down the hill from the Church. It was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. Kitchen stocked with everything we needed. Parking was easy. Always found parking space within 1 block. We will definitely stay there next time we are in Reykjavik.

Unbelievable location!

This property is literally on the ‘main drag’ in Reykjavik- one block down it’s a pedestrian only zone, so barely any car traffic out front. Super convenient to walk everywhere. We had plenty of room and were able to cook some nice meals in the kitchen with food from the grocery store right across the street. Though so many restaurants steps away downstairs! Owner was right there for help but not intrusive at all. Parking is on the street, but we had no problem finding a close spot. You have to pay each day, though. We would definitely stay here again.

Walkable downtown Reykjavik

Ásgeir’s downtown Reykjavík location is in the center of all the action. The property is walkable to many restaurants and attractions. The property was clean and as described. Ásgeir introduced himself to us at check in and offered suggestions on where to eat and drink. The spiral wooden staircase is narrow and with small steps which may be difficult for some to navigate. The attic bedrooms have low headroom so they are better for your shorter traveling companions. It is nice to have a separate WC in addition to the main bathroom with shower. The shower water is hot and has great pressure.
