GREAT!

Me and My girlfriend stayed for a little under a week, and it was a great place to stay. so close to so many great bars and resturants. With easy pick up for tours and sightseeing everything was such a quick walk. We did have a little trouble finding a good place to park our car, but that was our porblem not the verbos. Management was very responsive to all our questions and was very pleasent to speak too.

convenient and cozy apartment

We enjoyed the central location, sunlit rooms and skylights which allowed us to see the northern lights on our last night in town! We found this to be a great spot for our family to relax after days spent wandering the city and countryside. The bedrooms were small but very comfortable and both had slanted windows allowing views of the night sky. There was plenty of space in the living / dining room and a nice kitchen with all the basics. We also enjoyed access to a private balcony with a view towards Hallgrimskirkja. Great spot, we would stay here again.

Great Location

Sleeping accommodations and the overall aesthetic of the apartment was charming. Management was also very communicative and helpful, even offering suggestions for luggage storage when we arrived in Reykjavik very early. The bathroom was one of our primary issues during our stay as it was timy, a little smelly and difficult to maneuver without getting water from the shower or sink everywhere. Overall an OK stay for 4 nights.

Great location!

Loved this apartment, just wish getting there the first day could’ve been more clear- one email said bus stop 7 and one said 8, another said 14! Definitely recommend bus stop 8 so it’s a quick downhill walk with your suitcases. Loved the location once we were there and the apartment is great. The team was also very quick to respond and help!

Outstanding location for a week in Iceland

This location is right in downtown, a stone's throw from the church. It is perfectly located to walk just about everywhere in town. The unit was perfect for our family of six. Parking was excellent along with check in. Rented a car and did day long trips. Unbelievable country. We loved the minimalistic vibe. Would recommend to anyone looking to stay in Reykjavik.

The shower drain smelled of sewage. Told to put cold water down the drain. Saw another review mentioned this issue as well . Shower curtain well beyond its sell by date, heavily discoloured at the bottom and not wide enough for the shower enclosure. Fridge had ice/condensation inside the fridge, did not use freezer area.Coffee maker also needed updating.Beautiful location, handy to everything, deserves better upkeep for the price charged.

The check in information is provided to you 24 hours prior to check in, the email has a ton of information (e.g., parking, laundry, etc). The apartment is right in the center of everything, you aren’t walking far to get to restaurants and the rainbow road. We parked at the church everyday, a few block walk to the apt. The email was very responsive. We didn’t realize how tired we’d be and didn’t initially get early check in, but as we were landing I emailed asking for early check in. Within a hour, the place was ready and we could go take a nap! The apt was clean, bright, and the beds were comfortable. Great stay!

Nice Apartment, Fantastic Location

This apartment is great. It is small as the photos depict, but the beds are very comfortable and the view is wonderful. It suited my family of 4 just fine. My complaints would be that the keypads never worked properly for us and it took a while to reach the property management. Also, the entrance and hallway were always full of litter and the trash was overflowing. There are only 3 or 4 plates, which was a bit annoying. Overall, a very good experience.

Very drafty and dull kitchen knives

The place was clean and nicely done. Yet, it was very drafty and thus cold. Also the knives were dull and hard to use. There were no sauce pans or oven ware or spices besides salt. If you plan to use it for sleep that will work, but if you are going to make meals and rest when it is cold and windy, this is not the place for you.

Great location in downtown

Amazing location right downtown Reykjavík! Beds were comfy and the style of the place was cute. Seriously loved being in the heart of everything. The noise was never bad but we ran a sound machine. Warning though there are a lot of stairs (no elevators) but didn’t bother our group. I would give our stay a 4.5 and the only reason not a 5 is because of the bathroom. Poor drainage and circulation/venting!! Always seemed wet/not as clean because of it no matter what we did. Other than that our experience was great!!

Clean modern flat

We liked staying in your updated flat. The beds were very comfortable. Cooking was a challenge with the smoke detectors going off when simply cooking pasta. Installing a vent fan may help. We appreciated water kettle and convenience of the small kitchen but it would have been nice to have another pan perhaps a frying pan.It was very loud at night and seemed to lack insulation. Another issue was the amount of stairs. Back door entry was poorly presentable when entering the flat.

Good location

Great location. Unit is on very top floor with many flights of stairs. Consider this if you have anyone elderly in your group. Very simple place, one pot, one pan, 4 forks and two knives. No sharp knives. Code on door did not work when we arrived, had to email manager and wait in restaurant down stairs for response. Restaurant owner let us in the complex via the back door. This is not pleasant after traveling over seas with two small children and arriving early in the morning just to wait till 4:00 to finally check in and could not access the unit. The beds were very comfortable. Again, the location was great in the heart of down down Reykjavík.

A sweet cozy place but misses the mark in a few ways

It's very cozy in there which we liked. Good location. Kind communication. We had a few issues during our stay - door code didn't work on arrival - bad toilet smell on second day - no chopping board, good knife - original internet didn't work (but they had a back up) - you had to fill out a form after booking which was a bit of a cuffufle. - The location of the storage room was unclear so we put it downstairs which then wasn't the right place and we needed a code to get back in. They had a lot of systems in place, but it seemed to not really flow. But they were quick to communicate and kind.

Not as advertised

The property is in a great location but the common stairway to get up to the top floor is dirty and not well cared for. Inside the unit you’ll find a nice living room but I would not call this a 2 bedroom. Beds are wedged into 2 small rooms, just enough room to lay down. The bathroom leaves much to be desired. As a frequent traveler, I am disappointed. Under the sink, where plastic bags were to be kept, a previous quest used it as a trash can and threw cigarettes and trash there and it was not cleaned up.

Amazing Flat in the Heart of Reykjavík

The management team at Iðunn was communicative and easy to work with and helped immediately when there was a slight check in issue. The flat is in a perfect location in the heart of Reykjavik (walking distance to most everything). The place was lovely inside and met all our needs. A couple things to be aware of = The entrance seems sketchy, but ignore the trash / graffiti - its great inside. There are 4 flights of stairs, no elevator. This was no problem for us, but be aware. Yes, the water does smell and taste of sulfer. This is normal for Iceland. :-). And finally, the crowds are a bit boisterous on the weekends. If you are a light sleeper and in bed by 8 PM kind of person... We loved out stay. I highly recommend this team and flat.
