A wonderful stay in the heart of Reykjavik!

This beautiful apartment is right on the harbour and only a few minutes walk from the Harpa conference centre. the apartment is beautifully appointed and obviously loved. We were honoured to have the opportunity to stay in this wonderful family home surrounded by their momentos of travel and family. If we are ever in Reykjavik in future we will definitely stay at TInna's home.

May 1-4 Iceland stop over

We scheduled a 3 day stop over in Iceland on way to Switzerland. Host responded quickly to all questions. Very clean and spacious unit with all amenities. Great to be able to do laundry. Walking distance to restaurants and grocery store is 10 min walk . Highly recommend.

Look no further, this is the one!

Oh my goodness. What wasn’t there to like? First of all, the photos don’t do this place justice. It is a very spacious studio apartment, clean and has everything you need. It is very easy to get into downtown Reykjavik by bus #11 (15 min) or by Hopp scooter (20ish minutes). Siggi also let us borrow his bike! There is also a parking space included. We actually saw the northern lights from our window during our stay, which was even more amazing! But the real reason our stay was so memorable is how communicative and friendly Siggi was. Though we didn’t get a chance to meet, he was responsive and available to answer any question. Thank you Siggi for having us in your awesome property! Honestly, I’m surprised this place isn’t fully booked until 2025. This was an awesome experience.

Can't wait to come back!

Clean, well appointed, great location and Siggi is such a pleasure to deal with. Having a car provided was so convenient and gave us such flexibility to do what we wanted, when we wanted. Iceland is magical! Loved every minute of it.

Beautiful accommodation in Reykjavik

Perfect vacation stay. Would highly recommend and wanted to say thank you to the wonderful, helpful hosts. Close to Reykjavik city center and all the major attractions and there is a Bonus Supermarket and gas stations within 5 minutes drive of the rental. Perfect for families.

Spacious and very comfortable accommodation.

Very comfortable, bright, spacious, well equipped property in a nice residential neighbourhood. It is very close to a bakery and a small grocery store. Roughly a 50 minute walk to downtown Reykjavik. Helga was friendly and was willing to be flexible with our scheduling. She was prompt in her communications with us. I would highly recommend this accommodation.
