About The Owner
We love sailing and have an old wooden boat, harbored in Sweden during the winter. During spring, summer, and autumn we go out sailing for longer periods. During that time we offer our home in Iceland to people who like to travel, just like we do, for them to enjoy the comfort we offer and the vivid life of Reykjavik.

Exceptional!

Beautiful home right in the Centre of Reykjavik
It was wonderful to be able to stay in this stunning home. What made it so enjoyable was the fact that the decor and all the beautiful photos and artwork made it feel like a proper home.
The location made the experience even better. I have previously stayed at various properties and this was by far the best! Slight downside - no black out blinds so bring eye shades in summer and only one toilet but would not let that stop me returning there!
Warning to anyone wanting to travel to Iceland - it has become very expensive due to the fall in the Pound and a strong Krona so be warned!!
We arrived at our home in Reykjavik to find everything exactly as promised by our hosts.
The 3 story home was in walking distance to all sights within the city and by the time we left for home we had many "favorite" places and many new friends. We highly recommend HomeAway for your travel destinations. We have used them for several of our trips.
Oasis in the heart of Reykjavik
As they say, location, location, location!
The property is fantastic. Parking can be difficult in Reykjavik so the driveway alone is a huge bonus. The house is within walking distance to everything.
It is happily decorated. It feels as though there are many happy memories in every room. The charm of the house is in its casual elegance, it offers such comfort you immediately relax and begin making your own memories. We are going to miss dancing in the living room as our daughter played the piano!
Finally the owners are exceptional. They were unbelievably nice, even when I had to call them at 6:00 on a Sunday morning because I locked myself out of the house!
Really nice place!!!!
We stayed there for 10 days in may 2016, close to everything dowtown, really nice house, everything was perfect!! Didn't meet the owners as they were in vacation but had left us instructions and helpfull tips. We had no problem at all with the place, it's just perfect!!! Would recommend and would go back anytime :)
Ideal
Highly recommended. Very central, very comfortable, beautiful decor, helpful hosts. We hope to return on our next trip to Iceland.
Wonderful holida (can we move in please?)
This is a beautiful little property (a detached former stable block) in the owners’ garden. It is extremely well kitted out and is perfect for a couple. The owners have done a wonderful job restoring it. I must mention our hosts at this point - they are a lovely couple, happy to help and advise and very friendly, but not intrusive. They are happy to let you have your privacy, but will stop for a friendly chat when your paths cross or if you have a question. The garden face of the building is pretty much all glass and your hosts are happy for you to sit outside, but at no time did we feel we lacked privacy.
The bed is the most comfortable we have ever slept in - just what we needed after a day exploring the Icelandic countryside, and the location perfect. Really close to everything but very peaceful. The kitchen area is well laid out and has everything you need, although there are so many good local restaurants with reasonable prices that we only used it for snacks and hot drinks (by the way we are both vegetarians and had no problem finding something nice to eat).
The accommodation is very well equipped, even to the provision of a baby grand piano! (and yes, your hosts are very happy for you to play it). The building is also well heated using the traditional Icelandic method of under floor geo-thermal hot water. You will be able to keep the windows open for fresh air without getting chilly.
To summarise then this is a lovely property in an excellent location made all the more enjoyable by the efforts of our hosts. We were delighted we chose to stay here and can whole heartedly recommend it.
Map
From the airport there is a flight bus going to the bus terminal in connection with all flights. From the bur terminal there it is a five minutes drive by taxi to the house. If you rent a car at the airport, follow the signs to Reykjavik city center. Grettisgata is easy to find, it is the street above Laugarvegur, the main shopping street.
There are excellent restaurants all around or in a walking distance from the house, with good food at moderate prices. Small shops and local bars are the asset of the area, as well as galleries, museums, cinemas. Live music and theatre can easily be found at a walking distance, at Harpa the music hall, and other venues in the center. Out door swimming pools are numerous in the city and there are golf courses around the City(18 holes).
