This is an amazing little place—perfect for a couple! It’s centrally located near shops, restaurants, and pickup points for excursions. We would definitely stay here again!
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.
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!
The apartment had everything we needed. It was the perfect size for my partner and I and could not have been in a better location. We were the envy of all our friends who had booked at hotels elsewhere in the city!
My wife and I had s fantastic time in this vm cute studio. Moreover, vm close to downtown and all restaurants, groceries and shops. Bring your running shoes and take a few rounds around the lakes that are just next door. Owner very responsive, loved it

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.
Stayed for 3 nights at this lovely apartment. The location was brilliant for the centre of Reykavik and 1 minute walk to bus stop 1 (pick up for Tours) Communication with the owner was excellent with quick response and very useful information. Would definately stay again.
It is a very charming and cozy studio apartment, perfect for an adult couple or single person visiting Reykjavik. It is central and even walking distance to many of the main points in downtown. The hosts were wonderful - and made it so easy to check in, stay, and check out again. I was great !
This was a a fabulous place and a perfect location. The apartment had everything needed for our stay and we were able to easily walk to restaurants and shops in Reykjavík. The location was very safe and there was free off-street parking. We especially appreciated the great communications and the flexibility from our host Saeli.
Very nice, clean, and spacious studio appartment, parking, located within 5 minutes walk to restaurants, bars, shopping. Easy access to highways for exploring outside Reykjavík.
The most perfect spot for our downtown visit. Bed was very comfortable, parking made life easy and we were walking distance to anything and everything we wanted to explore. Great style too!
Having a little studio like this was the perfect way for us to spread out (and dry out!) our things during our stay in Reykjavik, which served as our "home base" before moving on in our trip. Dedicated parking, great walkable spot, and attention to details that really made for a helpful and comfortable stay. Thank you!
Beautifully-designed comfortable and private studio, perfect for 2. Sæeli was a wonderful host. Perfect central location for exploring the city on foot, and a 2-minute walk to one of the main Tourist bus stops. We loved the heated floors after being out in the winter weather. The kitchen was small but fine for preparing simple meals (there are several grocery stores within walking distance. Melabuðin is a 15-minute walk and has gourmet treats).
Can’t say enough good things about the apartment, location and host. Having a private parking spot was a wonderful luxury to have. Would stay here again in a heart beat.
We really enjoyed staying in this well-equipped, spacious apartment. The free parking was a real bonus. The area is very central but is very quiet as it’s surrounded by embassies. The nearest supermarket is less than 10 minutes walk. I’d definitely stay here again.
