Uniqe experience, discover Iceland, apartment in city centre Reykjavik - unit 1

This property is located at the end of the main shopping street in Reykjavik. plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance as well as local attractions. The TV didn't work during our stay which was okay, but after long days of exploring it would've been nice to kick back and watch it to unwind. Didn't use the laundry but there is a washer available (no dryer). The owner provided plenty of brochures for attractions and tours available during our stay. We were just a couple so the dish ware and cups were plenty. Bed was comfortable and the water pressure was great! Definitely recommend this flat and would stay again!

The location was great but a little hard to find in the beginning. We had every thing we needed for a nice stay. Our biggest worry was the slippery bath tub. It definitely needed a rubber mat for safety. The street noise was excessive but we got use to it.

Lovely stay. We had everything we needed. The apartment is very convenient to walk into the city as well as very close to many bus lines and tour pick ups. It got really warm in the aprtment as we had beautiful warm weather and no rain during our stay (can't complain about that!). Not many of the windows open and being on the first floor we weren't comfortable leaving windows open while we were gone or sleeping. I would definitely recommend this property.

The apartment was pleasant and in a wonderful location. We had a bit of a problem getting into the building and the apartment was missing a few necessities when we arrived, but after these first few hiccups, the rest of our stay was beautiful.

This was our first visit to Iceland and we chose this condo due to past positive reviews and great communication with the owner before our trip. She was very helpful. When we arrived we found the condo clean and exactly as described. We were able to walk everywhere in downtown Reykjavik. Loved that the restaurants and shopping and sights were so close but yet we could return to our condo at night in a fairly quiet area. It is a ground level condo on a street so voices of people walking by were quite loud at times. We were glad we brought ear plugs and eye masks to get a good night's rest. The bed and pillows were very comfortable! We slept well. Check In and check out directions were detailed and helpful. We ate some meals at the condo and had no complaints with how it was stocked. Seemed to have everything you need. The only thing we were disappointed in was the parking situation. One of the reasons we liked this condo was because it included parking. But when we got there we realized there weren't designated spaces and it was first come first serve. This turned out to be an issue for us because we were out sight seeing for long days and when we returned in the evening it was difficult to find parking. Again, this is after 10 pm but it was still a hassle we were not expecting based on past reviews. We were eventually able to find street parking, but had to be up before 9 to move the car or start paying. One night we drove around for quite awhile before finding any street parking near the condo. We notified the owner and she was apologetic and stated that she was going to be talking to the building or area board about marking or reserving spaces. Some drivers were also simply not courteous and taking up two spaces when parking. Which made a difference here. It was not a deal breaker for us and now that the ad will be updated future guests will know parking is not guaranteed. We loved loved Iceland! And would definitely stay at Berta's condo again. Can't beat the location and it completely met our needs. Home away from home. Thanks Berta!
