More than likely, you'll be renting a car to explore Iceland, BUT if you stay in or near old town Reykjavik for a few days, then this apartment is "situationally" spot-on. The apartment is located on a one-way street in a neighborhood of family homes and small apartments. It's so close to the Hallgrimskirkja that you can hear the bells ringing (no worries, though, the windows in the apartment are windproof, coldproof, rainproof and soundproof!). What I appreciated the most about the apartment is that it is exactly as described on this website. We were a group of 5 female family members and we each had a comfy, warm bed to lay our heads down (we did double up on the queen bed and king bed), had plenty of space to unwind at the end of a busy sightseeing day and enjoyed the amenities the apartment and our host, Kjartan, had to offer. We aren't able to provide much information about the kitchen since we ate all of our meals at the fantastic restaurants in old town (you have got to go to Braud & Co, for breakfast!!), but when we were looking for a knife to cut a cinnamon roll in half, the drawers were filled with every imaginable utensil you would ever need! We definitely appreciated the parking spot in front of the garage behind the apartment - at night, when the neighbors came home from work, so many of them parked in the street, which would have made it a challenge if we didn't have the parking behind the apartment. We highly recommend this apartment and Kjartan!
