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!

Wonderful stay in Reykjavik

We had an amazing trip to Iceland only made better by a clean and comfortable place to stay. Helga was so responsive and kind. Her place is spacious, clean, and very well equipped and just a few minute drive to downtown. We would stay here again if we came back.

Wonderful time!

We had a wonderful time staying in Reykjavik 108. The apartment was more like a house, very spacious for us (3 adults) and had everything you would want for an extended stay, even private parking! The only slight bothersome was the shower door, it leaked water on the floor, but there were plenty of towels to use each day to act as sponges. The neighborhood was perfect, only 3 minutes away to a park, groceries, restaurants, and a first-class Crossfit box. The less than10 minute drive into town was perfect. Our host Helga responded to every question we had prior to the trip, and was very friendly and conversational when we met her at her downtown shop, a perfect host with a great property in all aspects. Thank you for giving us a stress-free experience to see your beautiful country.

Cozy apartment in quiet neighborhood

My husband and I brought our children (14 and 11) to explore the southwest of Iceland for a week. The check-in process was straight forward. We all loved the apartment and felt very much at home. After exploring during the day we were always so grateful to return to "our place" for a good night's sleep. The beds and linens were very comfortable and my 11 year old (who is immensely picky about her sleeping situation) enjoyed sleeping on the couch. It was great to have a kitchen full of utensils to make the occasional meal at the apartment a breeze. We all liked the shower but make sure to have a towel ready to wipe up the water that gets on the floor...the way the shower doors are there really is no getting around it (very minor complaint). All in all - I highly recommend this place to anyone wanting a quiet, safe, and comfortable stay. Thank you so much, Helga. We will definitely return!
