Our stay here was fantastic. This small space was a perfect homemade for our daily outings around Reykjavik, thoughtfully designed and operated by Sæli, the world-class owner. He was quick to help answer questions, opened the door to our early morning arrival, and graciously denied our offer to help clean at the end of our stay. The next time we visit, this will be where we stay.

Fantastic place with a perfect location

Everything went perfect in our trip to Reykjavík which was helped by having the perfect place in town. Thanks to our host for a lovely stay in a unit that was ideal for a 4 night stay. Easy walking to all restaurants and all you needed to make some meals at home. Parking spot made coming home after adventuring seemless as we didn't need to worry about where to park or how much it would cost. Would definitely come back and stay here again on our next Iceland vacation.

Great Studio in Heart of Reykjavik

This is a great place to stay in the downtown area of Reykjavik. The property felt very spacious for being a studio, and is walking distance to whale/puffin tours, nightlife, restaurants, museums, and other excursions in the city. It is clean and the owner is responsive for any questions that come up. The two of us had a great experience, and would definitely stay again when we return to Iceland in the future.

Cozy Home Base for Iceland Adventures

Thoughtfully designed and decorated to maximize its space, this comfortable and nicely outfitted studio felt much larger than its square footage would suggest. It was an ideal “home” for our 10-night stay, centrally located to easily explore the sights, sound and tastes of Reykjavík by foot. An off-street parking spot for our rental car made day excursions so convenient. We loved it! Tip for summer travelers: bring an eye mask as the blinds don’t totally block the light.

This efficiency has everything one could need, in a neighborhood that is perfectly located for walking to shops and restaurants. Quiet neighborhood of foreign embassies, churches, hospital, and a pocket park. The owner’s communication was superb. With an added bonus of onsite parking.

Fabulous 3 days in Reykjavík

This was the perfect little place for a mother/daughter stopover in Iceland! The apartment had everything we needed, including an off street parking space - ideal as we rented a car to self drive the Golden Circle and hike the Glymur Waterfall trail! The apartment is ideally located within easy walking distance to the harbor, sights, shops, restaurants and parks! We had 3 days of sunshine and absolutely LOVED our time here! Our host was fabulous - so friendly and attentive to our needs! Stay here! You wont regret it!

It was very nice stay in Reykjavik

The room was more spacious than I had imagined, yet stylish and comfortable enough for a one-person stay.The location was also great, just a few minutes walk to the center of Reykjavík.The only thing that was a little confusing was the location of the key box, so if the owner has time, it might be a good idea to add that.
