Elegant Apartment in Downtown Reykjavik, Iceland
Year Purchased: 2009
Why the Owner Chose Reykjavik
The location is in a residential area, only five minutes walk from downtown Reykjavik, where I used to own a woman´s boutique for sixteen years. I love this neighborhood, everything is within a reach.
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment
Restaurants and boutiques are within a walking distance. As well as art galleries and cultural centers as well. The Pond, The Park and The Harbor are great walks. Good coffee houses are all over the city center and they are great places to meet "cool" and lovely people and make friends.

We arrived and Edda picked us up. This was a great plus as we arrived at 6:00AM. She took us back to the wonderful apartment where she had soup and bread waiting for us. We were so happy! Edda gave us a map of the city, directions and restaurant and entertainment suggestions. The apartment was wonderful. We were 5, which was perfect as the second bed in the one bedroom is slightly small. The kitchen was wonderful and the living room and dining room were very spacious. We had no trouble with just one bath as it is very large. There was also a lovely laundry room off the bath. This apartment is one block from a great bakery, one block from a great fresh fish shop and 3 blocks from a grocery store. It is also 5 to 6 blocks from wonderful pubs and restaurants. It is also 1/2 block form the Hotel Holt, which is lovely. The concierge there is very helpful! There is also a wonderful restuaruant two blocks away that is one of the best in Iceland. Prir Frakkir, don't miss it! I cannot imagine a better location, a better manager or a better apartment! Thank you for a great place to stay while on our wonderous vacation!!

Our family of four (two boys age 11 and 14) spent twelve terrific days in this ideal apartment in June, 2011. It was spotless, cozy, elegant but very comfortable, and in a sweet neighborhood. We could not have been more pleased. It was steps from everything, yet really quiet. A home-away-from-home. It was a long plane ride and we were desperate to relax upon arrival; although it was early, Edda and family made the apartment ready and offered us delicious "Christmas Soup". And, she helped us throughout our stay with our questions. Iceland was truly a joy for all of us. We took several day trips out of town and saw a wide variety of wonders. We very much hope to be back again some day to see more - and to see Edda again! A nice little local cafe/bar is Vitabar - two blocks west down from the great church. Best hamburgers anywhere! Also, Noodle Station in same neighborhood is delicious. And the bakery down the block from the apartment!

My family and I stayed at Edda's before going on a grand three-week tour of Iceland. We stayed there when we arrived in Reykjavik at 1 AM. Edda had prepared home made soup for us and welcomed us as if we were long lost family. She offered us tips and help along our way. Since we have four teenage daughters, her apparment was exactly what we needed: a place to relax and take in a little cozyness before going out on our camping trip. We highly recommend Edda's place. It is clean, comfortable, practical, and with Edda there, charming. Thanks Edda, hope to see you again some day !

We loved staying right in the centre of Reykjavik in this fabulous apartment. Even though we arrived after 1am Edda greeted us warmly and provided us with delicious homemade soup. She is a wonderful host and gave us all the information we needed to enjoy our stay. We slept so well in the very comfortable beds every night even after a long day of strenuous hiking. We slept really well after relaxing in the Blue Lagoon too! The apartment was very well equipped with everything we needed and it was spotless and well maintained. Just steps away we found a great bakery and a Bonus supermarket. I'd highly recommend this apartment to my friends and family and we hope to stay here again soon.

Explosive Days and Iceland!

Iceland was an after thought on a trip to Europe. And yet it was the best part of the trip. Much of the credit for the success goes to Edda. Her apartment was comfortable, well located, artistic, and equipped with every possible thing a person cold want. Edda greeted us like long lost friends. Served us delicious treats, helped us select things to do and see while in Iceland and kept us from having a major meltdown. You see the volcano decided to explode during out visit. Flights were cancelled and a wee bit of chaos followed. But Edda called us everyday with and English translation of airport news and advice about flights. Thanks to her we were able to ignore the chaos, go on with our adventure and leave on time. Can't wait to again return to this lovely country. And stay at Edda's place.

Excellent Place to stay when visiting Reykjavik/Southern Iceland

I and 3 friends just returned from a week at Edda's place and as a person who has travelled to every corner of the world, this place ranks high. It is nice, clean, comfortable, homey and close to everything. Edda is a wonderful host; she was waiting for me upon my arrival and provided me a feast of local foods. If you love to travel and experience living in a city vs. "being a tourist" or wanting room service, Edda's IS the place. We will be going back. We would go to the Bakery and to Mokka for breakfast and coffee, respectively and head out for 8-10 hours of seeing what southern Iceland has to offer. Each day we would return home and have a 5 star meal. The food is expensive, but the portion sizes are quite big.

We had the pleasure of staying in Reykjavik for the last 4 days, 6 people arriving from New York and Ireland. I was greeted by Edda with a wonderful hot breakfast and warm conversation over coffee and sweets, all her tips were spot on. The apartment is in a great location, perfect location really. it was warm and very well equiped and imaculately clean and it is Huge. We were made most comfortable in our home away from home with a gracious and warm host. Thank You very much. We will return.

SuperBowl Wknd in Reykjavik

We had a tremendous SuperBowl Weekend in Reykjavik! Edda welcomed us with a wonderful breakfast after a long flight from Phila/Boston. She was a great hostess and helped organize our plans during the weekend stay. We packed as much activity into the weekend as possible. It was great to come home to a warm & cozy apartment after a long day. The 3 bedrooms were spacious and the living/kitchen area was perfect for the 5 of us. It was great to have everyone stay together and enjoy meals and entertainment together. The apartment was close to everything and super easy to get around. We can't wait for another opportunity to visit Reykjavik and Iceland, our entire stay was wonderful! I would highly recommend this apartment. Thank you!!!

I would highly, highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking to stay in Iceland. First of all, the apartment is gorgeous and located within walking distance of everything. Edda served as an extremely warm and informative host from my first contact with her a number of months ago all the way through our entire stay. She was able to provide us with great information for how to make our trip successful, especially with all her New Years Eve recommendations. All in all our trip was amazing and a large part of that is due to us having a wonderful apartment. I would definitely look to stay here again when I come back to Iceland.

This is a lovely apartment close to downtown but relatively quiet. The oldest bakery in Reykyavik is a few doors down and they make awesome pastries. Edda came to the apartment to welcome us. She is a lovely, amiable person and was able to provide us with helpful information. The apartment is well-cared for and very comfortable. Everything we needed was there and it made for a very restful stay. We also rented a car and it was great to have a place to park it. I would definitely recommend staying here to anyone wishing to visit Reykyavik. Takk, Edda!
