Everything about this house is perfection. Wonderful attention to detail. Just a few blocks from restaurants, cafes, museums, the harbor. We could not have been happier and hope we get to return.

This is a unique, historic property that is special for a VRBO. The host is extremely responsive.We were 'wow'ed' when we checked into this highly curated space. This is a special place, well located in the city center. If you have mobility issues the stairs will be an issue. We loved our stay here and are very grateful to the amazing host!

Fantastic house
What a wonderful and comfortable place to stay; in the middle of old Rekjavik so easy to wander out to see the city or visit a restaurant. The bikes were great and we cycled along the shore and sculpture trail. The car was a bonus enabling us to visit the Golden circle and drive up the west coast. Margret was very helpful recommending where to eat and places to visit. Our only regret is that we did not stay longer

Best in Reykjavik
Cozy, clean, charming, historical home, within a few minutes walk of all you could want in the center of Reykjavik. Margret was so warm and embracing, and meticulous in her preparations for our arrival with fresh baked items and wine and fruit and candies. It is obvious, through her beautiful attention to detail that she takes great pride in her historical home. We will be returning.

Wonderful little house
Margret's property in Reykjavik was clean, cute and perfect for 2 friends staying a few days in the capital. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay, lovely little kitchen and sitting area, nice sized bathroom (and a washer!) and a remarkably spacious loft area with two beds and a third little area for hanging out or sleeping. The small spaces are put to good use. As others have noted, the stairs are tight and steep, so just a note if you have difficulty with stairs. We did not! The neighborhood was quiet and residential but close to everything. Margret was lovely, helpful and left delicious treats and drinks to get us started. Highly recommended.

A lovely stay
We had a fantastic stay a Vakta House during the February half term. Whilst the accommodation could make a romantic bolthole, we were there with two children, both of which enjoyed the novelty of sleeping upstairs in the large, shared loft bedroom, which slept 4.
The location was great - the tourist office and harbour were just around the corner, and since we were in the old residential part of the city, we were not disturbed by the lively bars and restaurants of the newer parts of the city.
There were plenty of restaurants nearby, but we were extremely grateful to be self catering since we were already aware that Iceland is an expensive place to eat.
The thermal pool along the street was a great (and cheap) hit with us all. It was nice to do something with out so many other tourists around!
The car was a great bonus, the accommodation very clean, warm and beautifully designed. Margret gave us a warm welcome and was very helpful with ideas. I would recommend a stay.

Small Wonder
This charming little house packs a lot of fun. It has everything needed to stay comfortably in Reykjavik's center, with easy walking access to restaurants, markets, museums and shops. The car is easy to drive to places farther away. The manager makes sure you feel welcome and is very concerned for your comfort. Just remember that, typical of Iceland's traditional homes, it's a steep climb to the very comfortable beds.

Very charming
The house was charming, clean and had a lot of fun places to walk to. There’s been a lot of love put into the house. The car was great. Margaret was very accommodating and responsive. The only thing to be aware of is that the loft area where the beds are would is difficult for people with mobility issues. The stairs are very steep and the ceilings in the loft require bending over if you are taller. It ended up working out fine as the downstairs couch was comfortable, so as long as there’s only one person in your party with mobility issues it’s not a problem. And I think kids would love the loft set up. It was a wonderful place to stay to experience Iceland.

So cute!
This was the perfect property for our family of four to spend several days in to relax after many excursions around Iceland. It was super clean and absolutely beautiful. There were so many special touches. A gorgeous spread of fruits, bread and wine welcomed us, my kids ate an entire bowl of chocolates and my husband and I enjoyed many cappuccinos. We enjoyed watching TV together in the living room and cooking meals in the kitchen. The kids (teens) enjoyed their own beds in private little nooks. We could easily walk most places we wanted to go but used the car to go places farther away. The car was also very clean and a wonderful addition to the property. We easily communicated with the hosts and they were friendly and helpful. We already have recommended this property to all our friends and look forward to staying there again if we get the pleasure of visiting Reykjavik again!

Charming, cozy, fitted out very well cottage by the city center.
We had the most amazing time. Upon arrival there was fresh bread and pastries waiting (thank you). The beds are so warm and comfortable. The location can’t be beat and the car that comes with the property allowed us the opportunity to really see parts of Iceland how we wanted to. I highly recommend this place if you are visiting rekjyvick!

Wonderfully perfect small house in the best location
My husband, two teenage boys, and I stayed at Vaktahouse for four nights. The boys at first thought it was too small, but then they loved it. Very well designed. Had everything we needed. It is just a block above the center of town, and a couple blocks from the harbor. Grocery store also a block away. It is an easy walk everywhere and yet in a fairly quiet neighborhood. The use of a car and bikes made it perfect. Wine, fruit, yogurt, milk, juice, chocolates, and coffee were there waiting for us when we arrived, which was very welcome after a long flight. Olafur (Margret's assistant) delivered baked goods the first morning and gave us helpful information. Margret was accessible by text to answer all our travel questions. We highly recommend Vaktahouse!!!

When I arrived. Oli greeted me and was very welcoming!
What an incredible stay in Iceland! Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet , relaxing place to stay. The car included sold me on this..just be sure you know how to drive a manual . No problem for me since I can drive a bus and a fire truck 👍🏻. Oli greeted me with wine, fruit and a few snacks in the fridge. If I had questions during my stay he was quick to respond and very helpful! Thank you for the memories....I will be back!

Wonderful and Cozy Home!
Wow. Where do I begin? Margrét greeted with a smile, some baked goods, a bottle of wine, some items in the refrigerator and the next few days were marvelous in the cozy house. The house was renovated in recent years and is a historical house in a great area of the city. It's close to everything I needed during my stay.
Margrét texted me one night to let me know that the northern lights were out and I should go outside to check it out. This is something that shows the true character of her and it is something I deeply appreciated. I was in town on business and I had my nose in my laptop computer and I wouldn't have even noticed if she had not notified me.
Vakta also comes with a car, which was so nice to have, as I left the city a few times to be a tourist when I could do so. I look forward to my return in 2018!

Perfect Little Haven!
This cottage was beyond cozy, romantic and beautifully decorated. Margret was so warm and gracious...she greeted us with baked goods, filled the fridge for us as well as a basket full of fruit and a bottle of wine for our honeymoon! She even mapped places out for us. We were pleasantly surprised of how quiet and quaint this historic home was within walking distance to everything we could possibly need! The bedding was super comfortable we kept saying to each other we "don't want to get out of this cloud!" =)
We wished we would have stayed longer. Thank you Thank you Thank you! We cannot say enough...
