Great apt, neighborhood, owner
The apt is super clean and has everything one could need (and more). The neighborhood is lively but not noisy, with bars, shops, restaurants, cafes. Market right outside the door, and easy walk to bus stop 7. Owner is very accommodating and responsive.
Enchanting
Wonderful Penthouse Apartment! Beautifully maintained and perfect location. Jon was an excellent host. Anybody who chooses to stay will love it! 💕?💕?💕?Thank You Jon
Wonderful space in city central
My husband and I really enjoyed the proximity to the downtown area. There are plenty of wonderful restaurants to select from within walking distance as well as grocery stores. The owner of the property lent us a hotspot during our stay which was invaluable without it we would like of been lost. Reykjavík was a wonderful city in a wonderful country and staying in this property made the whole experience more comfortable.
Perfect base from which to explore Reykjavik
Modern, clean, secure, quiet, fully equipped apartment with stunning views, centrally located near to all the city’s great restaurants, stores, and attractions. We walked everywhere! Grocery store next door. Best coffee in Reykjavik a few steps away. Multiple bus stops nearby for easy access to Golden Circle and Northern Lights Tours. Temperature control, lighting, Wi-Fi, ventilation, hot and cold water in the apartment all excellent. All appliances, including dish washer and clothes washer, worked well. Our host was exceptionally gracious and communicative, and eager to meet all our information needs.
Comfortable, Quiet, Convenient
This condo/apartment exceeded our expectations. It is located in the center of Reykjavik's busy center, close to shops, restaurants, pubs and museums, but it is surprisingly quiet. The high balcony provides a great view of Hallgrímskirkja church and the street below. The host Jon was very helpful, and always returned our emails right away when booking the condo. A ot of nice extras - mobile phone for local calls, mobile hot spot, a fully stocked kitchen. We can't wait to return!
Comfortable and Quiet, Convenient
This condo apartment exceeded our expectations. Right in the middle of the town center, making it convenient to shops, restaurants, museums, but surprisingly quiet and private. The apartment was clean and spacious. The high balcony provided great views of Hallgrímskirkja church and of the street below. Host Jon was very helpful and answered emails immediately. A lot of extras - hot spot you can take with you as you travel around town, phone for local calls, fully stocked kitchen, TV with many channels. Hope to stay here again soon!
Map
The location is ideal, with all the main restaurants, bars, clubs, shops, museums and other attractions of the city centre within a few minutes walking distance. Yet, the area is free from disturbance associated with the famous reykjavik night-life.
The main landmark hallgrimskirkja is within 5 minutes walking distance. Both the main bus terminal hlemmur and the main square lækjartorg are within 10 minutes walking distance in each direction.
