Great house and location

Really comfortable home base during our family trip to Iceland. Located right near the cute shops and restaurants in Reykjavik, next to a big open park/ field kids to run around and play, parking and laundry were awesome for our adventure.

Great location!

A nice, quiet, walkable neighborhood. Off street parking was great- we rented a car for longer trips away from Reykjavík. Plenty of space for my family. Comfortable beds.

Absolutely perfect! Walking distance into town but situated that when we left with our hired car there was easy access to get all the routes out of town. Excellent bunk beds for our two kids to have their own room and plenty of shared space downstairs. Absolutely would stay here again. Hostess was the most responsive I’ve had on VRBO. Absolutely perfect all the way around!

Ideal home base for family Iceland adventures

We have visited Iceland before, and I knew I would prefer a home where we could prepare a few meals, do some laundry and have a little space instead of being crammed into hotel rooms with our teenage children. Anna’s home was a quiet retreat where we could do all of the above. The house was spotless and her house manager was always available to help with anything we needed. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

It became “home”

This home is in a great location with the perfect balance between in the city, quiet by the park, and a home base for daily treks. It is large, extremely comfortable, and truly felt like having a home. Anna and Gummi took care to settle us and ensure all was good.

A terrific gem close to everything but tucked in a quiet neighborhood

We had a wonderful and cozy stay at this property for a week in March. Everything you could need as a family in a beautifully appointed house. We have very happy memories sitting down for a family meal in the dining room and then relaxing by the fire afterward. As for location, you can walk to nearly everything. Don’t sleep on the local municipal thermal pool and Braud bakery for cinnamon buns and coffee. The owner and caretaker were lovely and responsive. Enjoy!

Doesn’t get much better

This spotless, beautiful designer’s-eye property could not be better located for a Reykjavik visit. About ten minutes on foot to the Hallgrímskirkja, and from there you can walk the entire downtown all the way to the harbor area if you wish (as we did). There is a little park right across the street (bring your disc golf discs boys) which also houses the Kjarvalsstadir location of the National Museum—well worth a stop and also has a fantastic cafe. This came in very handy when it was pouring rain and we were exhausted from 20,000-step days trudging up and down volcanos and waterfalls. Parking is no problem in the neighborhood and this location also makes a great base for any daytrips outside RVK to the countryside hotspots. We were two plus two teens and were perfectly comfortable. House is spotless and made us embarrassed to think of our messy house. Hostess Anna gave excellent local eating and shopping recommendations which we quickly found to be spot on, utilizing almost all of them. Check in/out effortless—this place is how VRBO should always work, and we couldn’t have been any happier with the stay.

Overall, Great Stay!

Our family of 3 stayed in this home for a week. Pros: *Short walk to city center, which our 7 year old could do with (little to no) complaining. *Quiet neighborhood and private parking. *Comfortable bedding. *Games available to play. *Great cooktop that heated water extremely quickly. *Fantastic communication. *Friendly host and caretaker. Caretaker was great with our child. *Laundry facility available. Cons: *Laundry is shared with the caretaker and it was not clear ahead of time which washing machine was his, so we accidentally used his machine. He was gracious about it, but we wish it would have been abundantly clear (labeled?) which was available for our use. *There were 2 washing machines and one dryer. Not sure if the dryer is shared with the caretaker. *Upstairs bathroom could have been cleaner. *Dining room smelled old – it was clean but it’s an old building, so something to take into account if you are highly sensitive to smells. Was only an issue for one person in our party. Sidenote, not pro nor con: *It is clear that you are staying at someone’s house and not just a rental property. The host’s personal belongings were visible (albeit neatly put away) (e.g. cold weather clothing in the drop zone). Overall, a lovely stay. We recommend it.

Perfect! Lovely, spacious home. Excellent location- we could walk to popular sites & restaurants!

Absolutely perfect for my family! Such a lovely & spacious home. Cozy, with the working fireplace, and comfortable furnishings. The kitchen had everything that we needed. We had a large dining room table that could host a large family or friends, if needed. The living room is very comfy, and cozy. And, yes, nice and warm, too! The beds were extremely comfortable and we loved cuddling under the cozy comforters. We had plenty of desks to work from (with fast internet). We had access to the laundry room, which was handy, because I didn't have to pack too many clothes. The house was quite large, by European (and especially Icelandic) standards. I really appreciated that it felt more like a cozy home and not like a cold hotel. I felt like I could relax there. I was excited to go back to this lovely, inviting and warm place, after a full day of outdoor adventure! We especially appreciated that it was so close to the lovely downtown Reykjavik and a 5 minute or so walk to the Hallgrimskirkja Church and other attractions. We didn't have to drive at all, when we wanted to get morning coffee, go to a restaurant, go shopping, see the sites, or get an evening drink. Location, location! So worth it! I LOVED that I didn't have to drive and park the car. And, although we were close to the action, the home was located in an extremely quiet and family friendly neighborhood. Finally, the host communicated perfectly and was delightful. Everything was perfect. I absolutely would stay here again and I can't wait to go back. I miss it already! Thank you for making our first visit to Iceland lovely and hassle-free!

Anna was an excellent host! The house was spacious and very clean. My son is a musician and he loved playing the piano! it is located super close to everything and we really liked the fact it had its own car parking space. Iceland is a cat culture but unfortunately me and my son are both highly allergic, and there were few cats that would come around the property which made it a bit difficult to move around on occasion. Overall it is a great place to stay and well priced for family with 2 grown kids.
