Amazing location and very walkable to everything. The property contains a lot of their personal items leaving little room for settling in. We did find the pullout bed sheets needed to be changed before we could use that.Besides that the the location made it very easy to get around whether by foot or by bus.

This was a beautiful, ideal location and space for us. Just across the street from the water, short, lovely walks to all the Reykjavík sites, and easy access to the routes for touring hotspots. It is very clean and very comfortable. The hosts were thoughtful and gracious. A perfect home base for a long-awaited trip to Iceland.

The perfect location

The apartment is beautiful and located close to most things that a visitor would like to see and within walking distance. Got those things not within walking distance the proximity to bus stop 14 makes those a breeze.

Lovely apartment, great view and location

The view of the harbor is wonderful, the location is great - easy walking distance to main Reykjavik tourist area and Harpa (we enjoyed several shows at Harpa). Apartment was clean and the bed very comfortable. Free garage parking for our rental car was very convenient. Highly recommend this property.

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.

Iceland Trip

We enjoyed our stay at the apartment. Beautiful view, Tinna provided great information for check in, process for using garage if you have a car, suggested grocery store and restaurants. We did day trips each day from this central location. It was nice to have our things in one spot and to come back to a comfortable place to rest.

This was our first time in Iceland and we stayed for 8 days in this wonderful apartment. We enjoyed the kitchen as well. It's just a perfect location for Reykjavik. We always have issues with the mattress wherever we stay, but this mattress was great. Very comfortable for us. Enjoy.

Would recommend

We had a great experience! This property is within walking distance of restaurants and shops, and very near the Harpa. There is also on floor laundry, and a garage that was made available to us so we didn't need to dig out our car when it snowed. Our host Tinna made sure we had all the information we needed for our stay, and I would definitely recommend this property! Thanks so much Tinna!

Great location

This was an amazing location. The ocean view was spectacular! It was very quiet, relaxing place to stay during the evening. We loved the fact that the property was within walking distance to all of the tourist sites and restaurants in Reykjavik. We appreciated all of the information that the host gave us about the property prior to our arrival as well: particularly being warned ahead of time that the parking stall that was included was very narrow, and chose our rental car accordingly- this stall will not accommodate any vehicle larger than a Toyota Yaris. We had a fantastic holiday thank you for letting us stay with you!

Wonderful Property Centrally Located

The flat was centrally located within walk distance of all the downtown attractions, and right across the street from the Sun Voyager. It was comfortable and cozy. We had a couple of issues; one being that the lights in the living room did not work and the other was that there was fresh food left from the previous tenant. Both were resolved very quickly and Tinna was very communicative. I would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Host profile image
My and my husband have been active within theatre and music all our lives, I am an actress and former artistic director of the National theatre in Reykjavik, and my husband is an composer, musician and actor. We are now more or less retired and have minimized our livestile. We like to travel and spend a lot of time on our wooden saling boat, which we harbor in Sweden, so our flat is free for longer periods. That is why we like to invite guests to stay while we are away :-)

Why they chose this property

It is nice, central and comfortable.
