Great spot to stay if visiting Reykavik

Great little apartment with its own parking space that was close to a grocery store, downtown Reykavik and just about anywhere we wanted to go. Had a nice kitchen and even a laundry room. Perfect for our four-day stay.

An amazing stay!

Helga’s apartment is beautifully appointed with her art work (paintings). Conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood, it is about a three mile walk into the heart of downtown. The apartment had everything we needed for a memorable family vacation.

Great Place to Stay

We enjoyed our stay here very much. The place is beautiful and in a great location. Helga is the best! She was very communicative and helpful answering any questions we had. She added a bed to the place for us that was very nice and got us a reservation at a great restaurant we were unable to get into. One of my favorite VRBOs I have stayed with.

My husband and I brought our boys ages 8 and 12 for their first trip to Iceland. We wanted a great “home base” with all amenities in case we wanted to eat dinner in and regroup after long days. This apartment was so wonderful! Great location, parking available and very attentive hostess. I’ve already sent this listing to many friends and we cannot wait to come back! Highly recommend!!

Great apartment, great location!

I had a wonderful stay at this apartment in Reykjavik with my daughter! The location is ideal—just a few minutes from downtown, but in a quiet and peaceful residential neighborhood. The apartment was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. Helga, the host, was fantastic with great communication throughout our stay.

Great place to stay

Apartment worked out really well for us. Was exceptionally clean and had everything we needed. Washing machine was great to have. Off-street parking and relatively close to downtown and easy to drive out of town to all the great sight-seeing in Iceland. Helga was helpful with suggestions and easy to reach if needed.

Perfect base for Reykjavik +200 km radius around

As said above, we spent 6 days in Reykjavik, enjoying the city plus visiting all attractions in 200 km radius. It was a perfect place to do this plan. Apartment was very clean, communication was super easy, check-in and out was super easy. We are very pleased with overall experience. For sure a place to stay.

Great short-visit option

We enjoyed the property and the host, who was wonderfully communicative and helpful with advice on places to eat, shop, visit, park, and play. Great location for anyone visiting with a rental car, and some bonus items: 2 bedrooms for visitors is great Laundry to clean wet or dirty clothing is very helpful Off-street parking was nice Really wonderful, tasty food and an incredibly clean country compared to many places in America. Shockingly beautiful geography, and I can’t wait to come back!
