About this property
Reckyavick101 Suites: Apartment I: ''Soffia" – Ground Floor
Experience the perfect harmony of Icelandic history and modern sustainability. Fully reimagined in May 2025, this ground-floor gem offers a serene, light-filled escape on one of Reykjavík’s most iconic streets. Whether you are here for the Northern Lights or the city’s vibrant culture, our apartment serves as a high-end, eco-conscious home base.
