We can assure you that the quality of tap water everywhere in Iceland is regularly monitored and tested.

This property was perfect for our trip! Safe part of town, clean and tidy...everything is walkable...we used it for three guests but it could handle four. Hosts were easy and quick to communicate with...really enjoyed our trip on every level.
We loved this place. The location is hard to beat and having so many books to choose from made the stay extra special. Now I have to go check out Heavens Lathe to see how it ends! The beds were comfy and the kitchen had all we needed. Thanks for offering this sweet spot.
It was very easy, checking into our apartment. The apartment itself was very clean. However, the bathroom sink seemed a little bit small and there was a weird smell from the water which we understand is due to the sulfur content. The location was near everything and we were able to find parking Nearby. Our only complaint was that the wooden deck surrounding the house was extremely slippery and one of my daughters fell and really hurt yourself bad on the steps. They may want to warn people that it gets so slippery when wet.
Really I wish I could give this place a 4.5 rather than a 4. It worked really nicely for my family of four when we visited. The location can't be beat. It's super close to downtown restaurants and stores but on a quiet side street so it wasn't loud. It's so easy to walk to everything, and there's a grocery store less than two block away, so we only ever used the car when going out of the city. On-street parking was reasonably easy to find, (it's worth it to try to find a spot a block or two away to get the cheaper parking zone but it was still close, easy, and seemed safe). In the apartment we loved the seating in the living area - comfy and plenty of room for all of us. My only two complaints would be:- The beds could use some additional pillows (there was only one per person and not very comfy)- The washer-dryer is actually one unit and is small. So you can't wash a load while drying another, which is limiting. Also the dryer doesn't fully dry the clothes, but there is a big drying rack which works just fine, as long as you don't need something dry immediately. Both are relatively small complaints, just worth knowing ahead of time. Overall, I totally recommend this place!
This was a lovely cozy home in a great location! Close to the center and the bus terminal, supermarket just around the corner, and relatively quiet. The wifi was a bit slow/didn't always reach the far end of the flat but it just encouraged us to hang out together more!
