We enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean and inviting. Beds were very comfortable and the house was supplied with everything necessary to accommodate guests. Helga was wonderful to communicate with and responded very quickly. The information Helga provided , grocery stores, directions, and sightseeing suggestions all very helpful and made our stay more enjoyable. Highly recommend Helgas VRBO .

Helga and her home are simply amazing. We truly enjoyed our time in Iceland. Staying in Helga’s home as our home base was a perfect for all of our day trips. Her home is super clean and has all the necessities that one could need when away from home. Helga herself was very helpful! Thank you Helga!!!

Great spot to stay if visiting Reykavik

Great little apartment with its own parking space that was close to a grocery store, downtown Reykavik and just about anywhere we wanted to go. Had a nice kitchen and even a laundry room. Perfect for our four-day stay.

Lovely place, nice location

The property was wonderful, as was the host. It was spacious, comfortable, and equipped with everything we needed. The location was quiet and a short distance from everything in Reykjavik we wanted to do. We would love to stay here again.

An amazing stay!

Helga’s apartment is beautifully appointed with her art work (paintings). Conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood, it is about a three mile walk into the heart of downtown. The apartment had everything we needed for a memorable family vacation.

Great Place to Stay

We enjoyed our stay here very much. The place is beautiful and in a great location. Helga is the best! She was very communicative and helpful answering any questions we had. She added a bed to the place for us that was very nice and got us a reservation at a great restaurant we were unable to get into. One of my favorite VRBOs I have stayed with.

Great place to stay

Apartment worked out really well for us. Was exceptionally clean and had everything we needed. Washing machine was great to have. Off-street parking and relatively close to downtown and easy to drive out of town to all the great sight-seeing in Iceland. Helga was helpful with suggestions and easy to reach if needed.

Wonderful Apartment!

This apartment is perfect. Beautiful and clean and very close to the town center and food shopping. There is a huge outdoor swimming pool with geothermal water for lap swimming just 15 minutes away, right next door to the World Class gym. Very convenient to access so many attractions.

Great short-visit option

We enjoyed the property and the host, who was wonderfully communicative and helpful with advice on places to eat, shop, visit, park, and play. Great location for anyone visiting with a rental car, and some bonus items: 2 bedrooms for visitors is great Laundry to clean wet or dirty clothing is very helpful Off-street parking was nice Really wonderful, tasty food and an incredibly clean country compared to many places in America. Shockingly beautiful geography, and I can’t wait to come back!

Great apartment, great location!

I had a wonderful stay at this apartment in Reykjavik with my daughter! The location is ideal—just a few minutes from downtown, but in a quiet and peaceful residential neighborhood. The apartment was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. Helga, the host, was fantastic with great communication throughout our stay.
