Great location close to grotto lighthouse - 20 min bus ride to Reykavik
Lovely little studio apartment. Very warm. Has all that you need for self catering. Value for money. Close to swimming pool with hot tubs, steam room and plunge pools (hot tub not in apartments which is what I’d thought initially). 2 minute walk from bus stop - reaching Reykjavík in 20 mins. Siggi and Nanna are great hosts and very accommodating. There to offer advice or answer any questions. Recommend.

This is it, if your objective is to enjoy the Aurora borealis. Our host Siggi and Nana were an excellent. The coastline nearby with nesting birds, sunsets and rocks were incredible. Close to everything touristy also. We 💕 it. Thank you Siggi and Nana.

We went to Iceland with the goal of seeing the Northern Lights, Siggi's place was absolutely the right place to stay. We were able to walk or drive a short distance to get away from the city lights and easily view the Northern lights which did not disappoint us. Siggi even alerted us when they were out. Siggi and Nanna were fantastic hosts -freindly and helpful. It is easy to get into Reykjavik from the apartment. We had a car, but there is also a bus route with a nearby stop. If I make it back to Iceland, Siggi and Nanna's place will definitely be our landing spot.

Cozy temporary home base for our Iceland adventures
We liked it here a lot. The Apartment is close to the sea in a quiet neighbourhood yet you can get easily to central Reykjavik with car or bus (or take a long walk by the sea). There is all neccessairy equipment in Kitchen and bathroom and you can wash and dry clothes in a room in the basement. Everything in the apartment was really clean. The host is really friendly and helpful e.g. with food recommendations or questions about road conditions. We got a message or a knock at the door when there were nothern lights 😀.

An upstairs apartment in a quiet location. Very clean. Friendly hosts. Great shower. It's in a residential area, but there's a business building in front of it and we drove past it the first time. Lighthouse and area to view the Northern Lights are close by.

September in Reykjavik
The studio apartment was a perfect home away from home. There was plenty of space and we found the bed very comfortable. We found an excellent place to eat fairly close to the city center. The apartment is a perfect location to launch your day to the Golden Circle, a day in the city, or any number of day trips and hikes. Siggi and Nanna are friendly and accommodating.

Northern lights
Siggi and Nanna were great hosts. Northern lights can be seen easily about 1km from their house. House is set back from street and there is another house (it may be a business) on the same driveway. Home is about 6 km from downtown Reyk (very convenient if you have a car . Many sights, activities and restaurants in the area Highly recommended location to call your base camp

A lovely stay!
Siggi and Nanna's space was perfect for our first trip to Iceland. Or was warm, inviting, and it had everyone we needed to enjoy our trip. The kitchenette was stocked with all the tools we needed, the bed was super comfortable, and the seating area was perfect for chats and looking at the water and the Northern lights out the window. There was parking right outside, and the unit is centrally located to Reykjavik without being in the hustle and bustle of it. Siggi was super communicative and hospitable despite having been on holiday outside the country himself. We can't wait to return and we hope we can return to this space again. We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.

It was very fine!
Siggi was very friendly and helped and supportet us? where he could. In Seltjanes you have everything, the peace, the sea and the view of it on two sides, the proximity of the city, a half-hourly bus connection to the city and the possibility for walks. The nearest supermarket is three stops or a 15-minute walk away. A very cosy restaurant overlooking the sea is 12 minutes away on foot. The flat is well equipped with everything you need.

Excellent base for visiting Reykjavik and surrounding area
This is a spacious studio apartment in the owners home. The entryway is shared, but the apartment is totally your own. It is a very short drive to the city center. There is a grocery store nearby and a lovely coastal walk just a block away. Siggi and Nanna are lovely hosts, ready to help and answer questions. The apartment was very clean and comfortable! The wifi was great. There is a large flat screen tv, couch, dining table and chairs, large bed, underfloor heating in the bathroom, and all the kitchen appliances we needed. There was Icelandic sparkling water in the refrigerator which was qute refreshing! There are blinds on all the windows which help block the light, but we also used our sleep masks. Sunset was at midnight and sunrise at 3am! There was also room to park our rental car in the driveway. I highly recommend Siggi and Nanna's place!

Look no further, this is the one!
Oh my goodness. What wasn’t there to like? First of all, the photos don’t do this place justice. It is a very spacious studio apartment, clean and has everything you need. It is very easy to get into downtown Reykjavik by bus #11 (15 min) or by Hopp scooter (20ish minutes). Siggi also let us borrow his bike! There is also a parking space included. We actually saw the northern lights from our window during our stay, which was even more amazing! But the real reason our stay was so memorable is how communicative and friendly Siggi was. Though we didn’t get a chance to meet, he was responsive and available to answer any question. Thank you Siggi for having us in your awesome property! Honestly, I’m surprised this place isn’t fully booked until 2025. This was an awesome experience.

About the host

Host profile image
I am a master car mechanic, retired and live in this house with my wife. My two boys have taken over the garage, that I did start for 40 years ago.

Why they chose this property

I built it my self. And since the kids has moved from the nest, me and my wife Nanna have plenty of room.

What makes this property unique

There is not crowded here, in a small villa quarter, where there is 2-300 meters to the beach, north and south. To vest (300 m) is protected area, with various kinds of birds. And if you walk to east, the center of Reykjavik is 4,7 km.
