The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. It was the right size for a couple. The location is excellent for exploring downtown and for meeting up with a tour for an excursion. We found many great places to eat within walking distance. We would definitely stay here again.

The apartment was very clean and comfortable. It was just as advertised. Close to the harbor and many dining/shopping places. The apartment is on the end of the floor and it was very quiet. The kitchen was well stocked and parking was a breeze. We would stay here again if we are ever back in Iceland.

Great area, great apartment. The hosts provided a lot of preliminary information about the apartment, including local restaurants, supermarkets, and activities. They were super-helpful and always responsive. The hosts were flexible and followed-up multiple times to make sure we were comfortable and if we had any questions. The apartment is located in the heart of Old Harbor and it's nearby to a lot of activities, plus it's right by the #4 bus stop where tour companies, airport transfers, and buses stop for pickup. It's a great location, the apartment is clean and quiet, and the hosts were fantastic. I would definitely stay there again.

The apartment was clean, the hosts were communicative and gave a lot of helpful information about the neighborhood, and the apartment was within walking distance of everything we wanted to see! The building was very quiet; we couldn’t hear our neighbors at any point, and having a washer/dryer was very helpful. We had a great visit and would definitely stay here again.

Great Location and Property

Kristin was very helpful with tips and almost instantly responsive. The apartment was a truly great location, very comfortable, nicely decorated and a very functional kitchen which was very important for me as I love to cook. We were able to walk almost everywhere. I love the safety for walking at night also. The garage was a wonderful bonus as was the elevator. We had everything we needed. It was also nice to be able to do our laundry before flying home.

Excellent Stay

The apartment is exactly as advertised - spacious and comfortable - we slept and relaxed quite well.The kitchen was fully equipped, though we only at left-overs via the microwave. The shower is very strong, and hot water is plentiful - you"ll appreciate that after any chilly/raining dates. Reykjavik seems to have two city centers critical to visitors - the old harbor area, and the streets along Laekjargata. The apartment is very close by the old harbor piers for whale-watching tours, great seafood, and the #15 bus stop is a convenient pickup site for tours out of town. The Laekjarsgata area has a few lively perdestrian streets with lively bars and restaurants. Pretty easy to get get anywhere within 5 to 13 minutes - just DO NOT rely on Google Walk! Kristin was a dream hostess, responding to our many inquiries promptly, as well as her comprhensive summary of local attraction, tours, travel advice and dining recommendations. VERSUS HOTELS: Did too much researching of hotels in the mid to upper scale - seems all hotel rooms were smaller than we were comfortable with, and the furniture looked like minimalist Ikea ads. Lastly - our flight landed at 6:30 AM, as do many direct flights from the U.S., and we arrived at the apt by 7:30. If your budget allows inquire about renting the prior night, so you can get some sleep, rather than wandering the streets until mid-afternoon.

An unexpected pleasure

Oddur & Kristin were one of the best set of hosts we’ve ever encountered on VRBO. The check in info arrived right on time. Instructions were perfectly clear & place was exactly as shown on the listing. The only hiccup we had was that prior to even booking, I had informed them of my chemical sensitivities and asked if they were fragrance free. Somehow that request got lost. When we walked in the scent of room freshener & scented laundry detergent was impossible for me. We messaged him on the app & went out looking for alternate arrangements. When we got radio silence to our message, we assumed we were on our own and went back to the apartment to pack up. There were Oddur & Kristin already re-cleaning the entire apartment & changing bedding! No questions asked, just what can they do to make it better. He even bought fragrance free detergent for me.To make things even MORE incredible, we had come with a tiny amount of information regarding Doug’s great grandmother who was from Iceland. We mentioned it to Oddur hoping that we maybe would get some basic info on the family name. Less than 24 hours later he was back with pages of information showing the family lineage back to the 1600’s and that - get this - Doug & Oddur were 7th cousins!! We are still processing all that information & passing it along to Doug’s family. But cousins 7x removed….. Oddur, we’re not expecting any birthday invitations in Iceland. But if you’re ever out this way, we are here to return the hospitality.

Property was first class, clean and well furnished. On site parking was helpful and the lift was useful on arrival and departure. Would definitely recommend the property especially as it was so well placed. The whale watching and Golden Circle tour pick up were a couple of minutes away, the Harpa theatre was a short walk. Although we had a car we used it sparingly as even the Perlan Museum and the ferry to Videy was manageable on foot if you like a walk. Plenty of sights close by and we even found 3 excellent vegetarian/vegan eateries practically on the doorstep.
