Great stay
This was a great place for our first trip out of the US. The location was incredibly convenient, all our needed bus stops and restaurants and museums were never anymore than a 15 minute walk max. The place itself had a great view, great kitchen area and comfortable beds. The check in was easy, I always got a quick response to any message. The washer was great for washing light clothes and thermals. Also we had a little cat friend outside to greet us most days, he wasn’t apart of the vrbo but we loved seeing him. Recommend this place!

Harbour view
Very nice and well equipped flat right by the old harbour of Reykjavik. The contact with Inga, the owner, was always very quick and uncomplicated. Everything needed for daily use was provied for. Right opposite the street there are many restaurants and the way into the city centre is close. Unfortunately, the street ouside ist loud (especially in winter when the cars drive on studded tyres). To open the windows during the night was therefore not possible. Nevertheless, we fully recommend this place!

Great Location
The property was exactly as listed with the exception that one of the suggested large free parking areas was blocked off with concrete. We were still able to find free parking close by. We got 1 parking ticket for miss reading a sign so be caeful, they don't play. That said the location is exceptional. Close to many attractions, a great jumping off point the golden circle and walking distance to countless restaurants. Coming again in the summer!

Quiet stay, excellent view!
Property is well maintained, clean, comfortable, and quiet. It is centrally located off the harbour/main road and is close to 2 city/tour bus stops.Plenty of restaurant options a stones throw away, or choose by looking off the balcony.If you are staying here you may need no vehicle due to proximity to local transportation system. I kind of forgot I didn't actually live there, the stay was that comfortable.

Perfect location. Simple accommodations. Old harbor
The apt is exactly as advertised. Perfect location in old harbor. Excellent communication with owner. Easy check in. Comfortable. Highly recommend. A little bare bones on amenities. Very little creature comforts. It would probably be better to have no ‘artwork’ on the walls than the worse kind of odd pictures. A few lights that didn’t work. Tiny things. Close to bus stop, great food, city center, beautiful views.

Great neighborhood, well equipped for a couple.
Clean, great little place to use for a launch site. Easy walks to a bunch of sites, museums, tour companies, restaurants. Full kitchen, with pans, utensils, and dishwasher, which we used to cut the cost of eating in Iceland. If we are back through there in the future, we will definitely be checking for availability. Inga ( host) is a great communicator. And even a friendly black & white cat living somewhere nearby that likes to greet you, and be petted.

The apartment was in a great location with beautiful view of the water. It was a real treat to wake up to that each day and enjoy a coffee on the balcony each night. It's near loads of great restaurants and all the boat tours so it'swell situated. Parking is on the street and you have to pay

Loved our view out to the harbor. So many amazing restaurants nearby! Inga was a pleasure - super responsive and helpful when we asked for parking advice. Beds were super comfy - we used the pull out too and it was like sleeping on a cloud. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Maybe next time
We were looking forward to staying at this property so much. The owner, Inga, was easy to communicate with and easily accessible. Unfortunately, our flight had mechanical issues and we only got a layover in Iceland vs a couple day stay. I would definitely look at this property in the future. It was a bummer to lose the payment, wish it could be used in the future.
