Perfect location!
The apartment had everything we needed. It was the perfect size for my partner and I and could not have been in a better location. We were the envy of all our friends who had booked at hotels elsewhere in the city!

It was very nice stay in Reykjavik
The room was more spacious than I had imagined, yet stylish and comfortable enough for a one-person stay.The location was also great, just a few minutes walk to the center of Reykjavík.The only thing that was a little confusing was the location of the key box, so if the owner has time, it might be a good idea to add that.

Wonderful Visit - Perfect Stay
It is a very charming and cozy studio apartment, perfect for an adult couple or single person visiting Reykjavik. It is central and even walking distance to many of the main points in downtown. The hosts were wonderful - and made it so easy to check in, stay, and check out again. I was great !

Fabulous stay!
This was a a fabulous place and a perfect location. The apartment had everything needed for our stay and we were able to easily walk to restaurants and shops in Reykjavík. The location was very safe and there was free off-street parking. We especially appreciated the great communications and the flexibility from our host Saeli.

Perfect spot in Reykjavik
Beautifully-designed comfortable and private studio, perfect for 2. Sæeli was a wonderful host. Perfect central location for exploring the city on foot, and a 2-minute walk to one of the main Tourist bus stops. We loved the heated floors after being out in the winter weather. The kitchen was small but fine for preparing simple meals (there are several grocery stores within walking distance. Melabuðin is a 15-minute walk and has gourmet treats).

Perfect spot for our needs!
Having a little studio like this was the perfect way for us to spread out (and dry out!) our things during our stay in Reykjavik, which served as our "home base" before moving on in our trip. Dedicated parking, great walkable spot, and attention to details that really made for a helpful and comfortable stay. Thank you!

Lovely apartment, great location
We really enjoyed staying in this well-equipped, spacious apartment. The free parking was a real bonus. The area is very central but is very quiet as it’s surrounded by embassies. The nearest supermarket is less than 10 minutes walk. I’d definitely stay here again.
