About Jon Thorvaldsson
My name is Jon and i have been living in Reykjavik for over 20 years. Before that i lived in my old hometown of Akranes. I studied Computer Sciences at the University of Iceland and later did an MBA program at Reykjavik University. I currently work for the city of Reykjavik as Director of IT. I have rented this property to travellers since 2008 with great success. I live in the same building which allows me to respond quickly to any request my guests may have.
Jon Thorvaldsson purchased this apartment in 2007
Why Jon Thorvaldsson chose Reykjavik
This is a unique property and one of the few modern buildings in the central part of town. The location is ideal with all sights and attractions in the centre within walking distance and yet the area is relatively quiet.

Some of the unique benefits of this property include the spectacular view from the top floor in all directions. My guests are provided with a mobile phone with a local number as well as mobile WiFi hotspot which allows you to share your digital memories instantly, wherever you are. A private in-house parking space can be reserved during your stay. The apartment is equipped with an Apple TV, iPhone docking station, exceptionally large bath-tub and other amenities, all aimed at making your stay as convenient as possible.

Beautifully designed apartment in a great location
The apartment is beautiful and has every thing needed to enjoy it. The views are wonderful. The location is ideal. The owner was a great host, he made us feel welcome, then left us to enjoy the place. There were three of us, 2 adults and our 18 year old son. We had plenty of room. We highly recommend the place.
Perfect Reyjkavik Home Base
Jon was 100% responsive and thoughtful. He made sure we had everything we needed. The apartment is perfectly located right in the middle of everything and very nice - exactly as pictured. We had the best Indian dinner of our lives based on one of his restaurant recommendations - it's right around the corner.
Outstanding!
Clean and up to date....bright, great location, great host and what a week it was!! Would return in a heartbeat. Devices provided were a tremendous help for mobile phone access, etc. Walking distance to anything we wanted to see in the downtown area. Groceries, restaurants and shopping, not to mention the views.
Thank you Jon!!

A beautiful apartment in the heart of Reykjavik
We had an amazing 4 day stay in this very well appointed apartment in the heart of the city. The apartment had everything we needed for our stay. It had amazing views and amenities. The apartment is located on the best street of the city,close to restaurants, the church and waterfront.The owner Jon was very welcoming and accommodating. The wifi hotspot and cell phone he provided were invaluable during our stay in Iceland. Jon kindly worked with our last minute change in schedule and let us check in very early on the day we arrived and graciously accommodated us when we needed to stay a little longer on the day of our departure. I would recommend this lovely,warm,cozy apartment to anyone who is planning a visit to Iceland.
Perfect location.
Thoughtful inclusion of hotspot and cell phone and helpful tips on places to eat/ visit
Beautiful Loft, Excellent Location!
We could not have picked a better place to stay! This penthouse is in a great location with several bars, restaurants and shops within walking distance. Great views of the city and very friendly people in the building. Absolutely recommend this place to anyone visiting Iceland! We had a blast!
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.
