About this property

Cozy little apartment in the quiet Laugardalur valley area

Small private apartment/studio (bedroom, bathroom and a small kitchen area) in a quiet neighborhood next to Laugardalur valley, 7 min. drive to downtown Reykjavík. This is a ground floor/semi-basement space (4 steps down) restored with quality furnishings and furniture. Includes a washing machine, dryer, espresso maker, TV and free wi-fi.
Please note that the ceiling is a bit low (215 cm).

Parking is free in this neighborhood where you'll find the largest outdoor thermal pool in Iceland, a Family Park and Zoo, botanical garden, Restaurants, cafés and art museums.

Our goal is to provide our guests with a nice and clean private space with a comfortable bed, bathroom and simple kitchen where they can enjoy free wifi, TV and prepare simple meals at a fair price.

Please note: Our building is currently undergoing exterior upgrades. Work is mostly outside and does not affect the interior (which is in perfect condition), but there may be occasional noise during daytime hours.

For some reason our listing says that the property has an outdoor pool. This is not true. Neither us or the VRBO team are able to change this for now, so please keep this in mind.

Oh my goodness this was an absolutely perfect place to stay in Reykjavik! It was so cozy and had everything we needed. The dryer was amazing for rainy days. It was also partially underground, so sunlight was never an issue with sleeping. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking in the area! I’m so glad we found this apartment!!

From the moment we arrived until we left, everything was wonderful. If all you require is a comfortable bed, kitchen, washer and dryer and free parking right in front of the unit then this is what you want. The owner answered messages right away, usually within minutes and communicated everything we needed. The unit is small and designed for a couple, but much more desirable than a hotel room. If we ever return to Reykjavik, we would not hesitate to stay here again!

Cozy Studio Apartment

We had such a lovely one night stay at the Cozy Little Apartment! The proprietors were so kind to us in that our flight was delayed leaving they were able to extend our stay by a few hours. The furnishings and the decorations were so attractive! And the bathroom was to die for!

Great place to stay

A welcoming note and atmosphere. A perfect little apartment in this home, with comfortable bedding, shower, kitchen, good WiFi, TV, washer/dryer. We felt comfortable and safe in the home and the neighborhood. Parking on the street was easy. This was a great place to stay during our time exploring Reykjavík. There were many nice renovations. A well cared for property.

Peaceful neighborhood, restful stay!

We really enjoyed our time at this apartment. The neighborhood was quiet and walkable, but it was easy to get to the city center and other places we wanted to go by car. Asty was very kind, helpful, and welcoming. It was a great place from which to enjoy our first time in Iceland!

Comfortable and cozy place to get rest after site seeing in Reykjavik. The kitchen came in handy on days we decided to eat in. There are restaurants and shops close by as well. We found the place quiet and comfortable. We'll use this place again for our next trip to Reykjavik.

About the host

Hosted by Asty

Host profile image
I grew up in the suburbs of Reykjavík but have also lived in Spain, Portugal and Los Angeles.
What I miss the most when I leave Iceland is the hot and cold water, the contrast between winter darkness and sunlight in the summer and our extraordinary nature. Therefore I strongly recommend that our guests try the geothermal swimming pool at Laugardalur and late night walks in the botanical park in Laugardalur valley in the summer time.

Why they chose this property

Ásvegur 16 is one of the charming old houses of Reykjavík (built in 1947). It used to be divided into three apartments, housing three families back in the day. It has been renovated on the inside and the outside renovation is planned for autumn 2024.

What makes this property unique


The apartment has been restored to be as luxurious as possible. It has natural stone flooring, comfy bed, quality furniture and furnishings. It offers a washing machine, dryer and a large TV.
