Reykjavík house

My My family and I had a wonderful stay at the Reykjavík apartment. It is perfectly located next to the main shopping street in Reykjavík but just far enough back off the street where it’s quiet mid block. We found the ground floor bedroom is very comfortable to sleep in the kitchen was perfectly stocked for what we needed which is great and Iceland because you do not want to go out and eat for every meal or you will be broke. Since I was turning 50 very close to the trip my wife and Anita conspired to have a cake in the refrigerator which Anita made for me which was wonderful we enjoyed it immensely! If we end up in Reykjavík again which I’m hoping we do we would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to all of our friends who are headed that way. We actually had a Rent-A-Car for a few days and we found street parking not to be a problem at all.

Terrific Location, Good value

We absolutely loved the location of this house - it is right on the main street, just behind the shops in a hidden alley. With a bakery only feet away and so many shops nearby, it truly doesn't get better for location. The house itself is very cute - the kitchen was well appointed (although no microwave, which surprised me but not a big deal) and the living area was comfortable. The beds were good and the blankets warm. It is a little cramped in the bedroom areas, but not too much. The only downside to this place is the shower, which really was a challenge to handle as others have said. The water pressure is very high and the curtains aren't quite up to the task, so showering was not enjoyable (I actually tried to avoid it). That being said, it really was a great value for the location and size and we would highly recommend staying here.

Truly a home away from home

This accommodation was very comfortable and well equipped...we thoroughly enjoyed the main floor living quarters in particular. Wonderful access to all kinds of restaurants and shops in the neighborhood. From our viewpoint as seniors, the only drawback was the tub/shower unit - a classic, deep, soaker tub that had a rather awkward shower arrangement, presenting some difficulties, particularly for anyone with flexibility/mobility issues. All in all, we had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend it to others.

Great Place in an Awesome Location

We had a great stay! Family of four with two adult children. The coffee maker in the House is also amazing and the kitchen must be renovated. Our only note to future guests is that the shower is really difficult for taller people. 5'10" is ok, but 6'3" is too tall to stand in the bathtub for a shower. The location was so convenient and we loved the bakery next door. We had lunch one day and Breakfast the next day at Sandholt. We highly recommend this place and location and Anita was excellent to work with. We communicated seamlessly through VRBO messaging and she was quick to respond.

A hidden gem of a cottage in excellent location.

This small but well appointed cottage is literally in the heart of one of Reykjavik's nicest tourist corridors. It worked nicely for two couples traveling together. The full kitchen was well stocked and the cottage was very comfortable. Communication with the owner Anita was a breeze.

Couldn’t have asked for a better location. Seconds from shopping, restaurants and easy access out of the city for day trips. Anita was so accommodating for check-in. We had a delayed flight and she made our arrival very easy. The house was spotless, had comfortable beds and the best coffee maker ever! Great pamphlets and books on activities were provided. Anita has done a great job making this place comfortable and enjoyable. Highly recommend this place. We would definitely stay again.

So much to love...

There is so much to love about this home. First is it's absolute perfect location. Tucked behind a gate right off Laugavegur, it's quiet and private with access to all the shopping, restaurants and bars Reykjavik has to offer. Grocery store and parking garage just a couple of blocks away. Tastefully decorated, very clean and fully equipped, it accommodated our party of four quite comfortably. Anita, the owner was extremely helpful, checking to see if our arrival was smooth, to see if we had any issues with anything, answered any questions we had, and was flexible on both check-in and check-out times. This made for a very pleasant and enjoyable stay. I would highly recommend this home and would go back again.

Perfect in Every Way!

This property was perfect for the (3) of us. Our check-in was smooth and Anita's communication with us before arrival was informing and she answered all our questions and provided great suggestions. We had no problem whatsoever finding the property and Anita met us shortly after we checked in. It was very easy! The location could not have been better! We could walk just about everywhere we wanted to go and parking our rental vehicle was no problem. This property is very clean, comfortable and had everything we needed! We highly recommend it! You'll not be sorry! THANK YOU SO MUCH Anita for such great hospitality! Joel, Lynn and Elizabeth

GREAT location to stay in downtown Reykjavik!

A fantastic place to stay in the heart of town! Very comfortable, warm and all the things you need to settle in vacation quickly. REK downtown has very narrow streets, so all tour pick ups (and FlyBus from the airport) go to drop off points where you walk to your destination. This house is about 2-3 easy blocks from Bus Stop 7 or 3-4 blocks from Bus stop 8. The house is super easy to find, situated in a small alley between the Polar Bear gift shop and the Sand Bakery. I love that it is located about 20m off the main road so it is right in the middle of everything yet very quiet. Upstairs is entryway, kitchen, dining room, living room and downstairs is a bedroom with a very comfortable KING bed and another bedroom with two TWIN/SINGLE beds along with the bathroom and laundry room. The water is HOT in Iceland and the monster size bathtub felt great after days of long tours. I really can't think of anyone who would not fit well into this house. Anita was AWESOME....super communication, very nice and helpful. We will always return to her house when back in Iceland!

Great place in a GREAT location!

We loved staying here! There is plenty of space, all the amenities you'd need, and it was so perfectly situated for everything we wanted to do! Anita's place is clean and cozy, and she is a great hostess. The only thing I would warn about is that the stairs are very steep and the shower is in a claw foot tub, both of which might be challenging for older or disabled folks.

The name defines it!

What more can you ask for with this beautiful home tucked in off one of the main streets? Beds were comfortable, the place was clean, and Anita really cares about how your stay is. Bonus(the supermarket) is right down the street. So many different bars and eateries just walking distance away. This is an A+ home and I most certainly recommend staying here.

Great cottage in an amazing location!

Anita's house was cozy, clean and very centrally located. We rented a car and had no problem finding a place to park right out front by paying the meter and moving it during the weekdays. The house was perfect for our family of four. We enjoyed watching Netflix after long days of seeing the sights of Iceland and walking to some of the many great restaurants very close to home. I would highly recommend Anita's house! Anita was very helpful as well. We really appreciated that she was there to greet us and walk us through the home, giving us all of the information and instructions that we would need during our stay. We also really enjoyed the coffee machine and bakery right next door.
