Peter and Kathy T., Hunter Valley, Australia

Great apartment and location but no washing machine!
The only reason not to give this apartment 5 stars is that it didn't have the stated washing machine. We had been travelling for a few weeks and were gong to keep travelling after our stay, so this was one of the main reasons we rented the apartment. There WAS a laundry in the basement with a washing machine and dryer for our use (after we enquired), but they were both always full of other laundry. After 4 attempts to use the washer we reluctantly removed the other washed laundry. Besides this issue, the apartment was great...a very convenient location, well equipped and very comfortable. It would have been perfect if we could have had the convenience of a washer/dryer in the apartment as stated in the description, without going up and down the lift all the time to check if it was available.

Fabulous!
Arrived in Reykjavik early prior to being able to check in. Nevertheless this did not pose problem as building was accessible even though apartment was not. Located near everything we wanted to see. Apartment on 4th floor. Pretty quiet. Manager was very accessible and responsive to our inquiries. Our only challenge was the stove we just weren’t sure how to work the Iceland stove! Apartment was immaculate as well. Definitely a great place.

Fantastic VRBO!
My wife and daughter and I stayed three nights in August 2019. Helga was communicative, flexible, helpful and overall great to work with. The VRBO is in a perfect location - walkable restaurants and shops out the front door. The VRBO itself was clean, modern, furnished very well and met all our needs. We’ll stay there again when we visit Iceland.

Great Apartment in Downtown Reykjavik
Loved the apartment. It’s location, which is a very short walk to downtown Reykjavik, is excellent. The apartment itself is clean, modern and nicely furnished. The kitchen is well supplied (including coffee in the cabinets, which was a nice touch). The bedroom with a large, comfortable bed and living room with a futon-style sofa that converts into a bed is perfect for a couple or family with 2 children. (It might be a little tight for 4 adults.) The quite balcony is great for breakfast or a late afternoon coffee or tea (we were there in June). We travel to Iceland once a year and definitely would stay there again. Robert and Gayle, New Jersey, USA, June 2019

Beautiful apartment & great location!
Our stay was incredible! The apartment was perfectly located and had everything you could possibly need! So nice to have shampoo, soap and a hairdryer, as most VRBO’s don’t provide that! Loved staying in such a clean, light and beautiful place! Thank you Helga!

Our stay was okay, I use VRBO a lot and this was not one of my best experiences.
I felt the place could have been cleaner, dirty cups in the cupboard, bed cover was dirty and the floor was not swept.The bathroom had a main light and a vanity light. The main light was broken when we arrived and we let the owner know. She said it would be fixed the next day. This never happens so in a country that has not a lot of daylight in the winter, we found it hard to see in the bathroom. It is a great location for sure .

Stay In The Black Pearl Apartments
This is a perfect downtown apartment if you are looking to stay by the nightlife and restaurants in Reykjavik. It is feet away from the Old Harbor, which has amazing views in of itself. Helga was such a gracious host and the apartment was so clean and was everything we were looking for and needed. Thank you!

Luxe appartement, wat zeer efficiënt verhuurd wordt.
Black-Pearl is een mooi appartement aan de rand van het centrum van Reykjavik en is luxe ingericht. We werden ruim voor ons verblijf geïnformeerd hoe we aan de sleutel van het appartement zouden komen. Met een code kan de deur van het pand geopend en naast de voordeur is een kastje waar de sleutel van het appartement in is en welke met een andere code geopend kan worden. Het was stoffig en kruimelig in het appartement, en hebben dat aan de eigenaresse gemeld. Deze mailde terug, dat er net een nieuwe slaapsofa geleverd was (mooi en zit lekker), wat natuurlijk ook wat stof met zich meebrengt. Het zou handig zijn geweest als iemand bij aankomst aanwezig zou zijn geweest, opdat je het weet, i.p.v. dat je naderhand een uitleg/excuus moet krijgen. Ook hoe de lichtknopjes werken en de doucheknoppen functioneren zou met wat uitleg makkelijker zijn. Overdag is er verkeer rond het gebouw (niet storend) en ’s nachts is het uitgesproken rustig. Aldus: Mooi appartement, waarvan iedereen schrijft dat het erg schoon is, maar waar wij niet zo van onder de indruk waren. Een nieuwe bank verklaart niet de mat aangelopen spiegels, het televisiemeubel dat egaal stoffig is en de kruimels in de keuken.

We loved it
Very clean modern and spacious and in an excellent location in downtown Reyjkavik close to the ocean and harbour. The spacious balcony got sun until just after 6 pm so we enjoyed sitting outside and in the late afternoon sunshine.

Beautiful Apartment in a Perfect Location
Upon arrival we were met by the property manager Erla. She was hard at work readying the apartment to provide us early check-in. The apartment was immaculate and contained all of the amenities needed for a great vacation. The location could not have been better. Situated in a great location, the apartment was near Old harbor and the the main downtown shopping, dining and entertainment area.

Great place , great location
Family of 4 stayed here for 4 nights in August. The apartment is great and in a great location. The pull out sofa is a futon which was a little tight for my nearly 14 year old to share with my 11 year old. They managed though. They complained a little about noise from outside, but it wasn't too bad. Owner was super friendly and helpful with things to do in Iceland.

Modern, centrally located apt in Reykjavík
Helga’s unit in the Black Pearl Apts was perfect for our first visit to Iceland. It was walking distance to downtown Reykjavik, Old Harbour, and bus stops to meet tour guides. Great amenities, clean and well kept. The only complaint I have is that the blinds did not black out the sunlight. But overall, a wonderful place to stay.

Modern Reykjavik Apartment
Helga's apartment is modern, clean and is very nicely designed with a separate bedroom (comfortable queen bed), living room, well stocked kitchen with modern appliances, and bathroom with a quality shower. It has WiFi, TV, and free washers and dryers in the basement. It is ideally located in downtown Reykjavik. Helga is very pleasant and responsive. She insisted on driving us to our airport bus stop when it began to rain as we were leaving. We would certainly return and we recommend it highly.

What a Great Place to stay in Reykjavik!
While I had previously had good experiences renting apartments in the US from VRBO, this was the first one I rented outside of the US. All I can say is that it went smoothly and that's because the owner, Helga, made it happen!. The apartment is great - clean and roomy with a comfortable bed and located within easy walking distance of shops, restaurants and attractions! Helga's instructions were clear and she was very prompt in responding to my questions and concerns. Even when the router of the wi-fi went out, Helga quickly responded to make it right. So, if you are looking for a place to stay in Reykjavik, contact Helga and rent this apartment!

Location, location, location....
It's an easy walk to most of the top locations in Reykjavik from Helga's apartment. Also, the apartment is close to the picturesque harbor which also has a really nice walk around it. The apartment has much more room than a hotel room and it was clean and well stocked with anything that you might need. We found free parking about a five minute walk away so that worked out great otherwise parking in the nearby garage or on the street was pricey. We stayed here for a week and I would recommend this place to others. During our stay we rented a car and did the Blue Lagoon, the Golden Circle and the Secret Lagoon, the South Coast, a food tour in Reykjavik and we explored Reykjavik on foot on our own.

I am a Icelandic women who lives in Norway. I have two apartments in Iceland which I rent out for tourist. I travel often to Iceland to stay with my family and friends. Often I have tourist with me so I can show them my beautiful country which I love so much. I really love staying in one of my two apartment. They are close to everything in Reykjavik. Only few minutes to restaurant, museum, cafes and shopping. For me it is very important that my renters have a wonderful stay in my home country and that the have everything their need in one mye two apartment.
