Excellent location - close to everything in old town Reykjavik

More than likely, you'll be renting a car to explore Iceland, BUT if you stay in or near old town Reykjavik for a few days, then this apartment is "situationally" spot-on. The apartment is located on a one-way street in a neighborhood of family homes and small apartments. It's so close to the Hallgrimskirkja that you can hear the bells ringing (no worries, though, the windows in the apartment are windproof, coldproof, rainproof and soundproof!). What I appreciated the most about the apartment is that it is exactly as described on this website. We were a group of 5 female family members and we each had a comfy, warm bed to lay our heads down (we did double up on the queen bed and king bed), had plenty of space to unwind at the end of a busy sightseeing day and enjoyed the amenities the apartment and our host, Kjartan, had to offer. We aren't able to provide much information about the kitchen since we ate all of our meals at the fantastic restaurants in old town (you have got to go to Braud & Co, for breakfast!!), but when we were looking for a knife to cut a cinnamon roll in half, the drawers were filled with every imaginable utensil you would ever need! We definitely appreciated the parking spot in front of the garage behind the apartment - at night, when the neighbors came home from work, so many of them parked in the street, which would have made it a challenge if we didn't have the parking behind the apartment. We highly recommend this apartment and Kjartan!

Perfect, spacious apartment in a quiet neighborhood of downtown Reykjavik!

Loved our stay in this exceptional apartment! Hope we are lucky enough to stay here again! This place is in a quiet, delightful neighborhood. It's tastefully decorated with plenty of room to stretch out and feel "at home" after a day of exploring Reykjavik and beyond. The modern kitchen was well supplied with dishes, utensils and cooking gadgets, though we ate our dinners out at the many restaurants within easy walking distance. There is also a little convenience shop within walking distance for some foods and essential items. The beds were incredibly comfortable and we all slept so well! All the windows have room-darkening shades and there is plenty of closet space. The bathroom has a pedestal shower in it that worked really well. No drainage issues, plenty of hot water (being Iceland, of course) and you can control the intensity of the shower spray. Kjartan kindly left a brand new hairdryer at our doorstep when we discovered the apartment was missing one. :) There is a clothes washer located in the bathroom. A Hotpoint Ariston AQD1171D 69ID. Download instructions for use. Helpful hint for fully flushing the toilet: Pump the handle completely, but quickly, 3 to 4 times when wanting to flush the toilet. Nothing wrong with the toilet itself, it just seemed to be a learning process for us! Ha ha! Really appreciated the driveway for off-street parking! Kjartan- thank you for your assistance with this rental and for maintaining such a lovely apartment!!

Great location with off street parking

Lovely 2 bedroom apartment in a quiet neighborhood very close to everything. Unit has off street parking and a washer dryer combo unit in the bathroom. Full kitchen, dining room and living room plus two full bedrooms make this a flexible and easy place to set as a home. Base for exploring Iceland.

Lovely apartment, great location

This apartment is located steps from Hallgrímskirkja and a short walk to restaurants, shopping and downtown attractions. The apartment is lovely, spacious with lots of windows, a full kitchen (including coffee!) and comfortable beds. Washing machine includes dryer option but there is also a large drying rack, as well as iron and ironing board. Kjarten kindly met us at the apartment to give us the keys and show us around. Exceeded expectations! We would happily stay here again on our next trip!

The apartment was very spacious and met our needs perfectly.

This property was exactly what we needed for our trip to Iceland. It was very spacious and clean and walking distance to al of the sites we wanted to see in the city. We had rented a car and had no trouble with parking at the property. The neighborhood was quiet and safe.

Great Experience

We stayed at this apartment for 3 nights and it was a great experience. The apartment was spacious, clean, bright and a great spot to hang out after our adventures in Iceland. The bedrooms and beds were great and we all had great sleeps. The location is excellent as the immediate area is quiet but it is only a short walk to the central area with all the tourist sights and restaurants.

Just Perfect!

We loved this apartment! It was nice and clean, exactly as pictured! Convenient location, just 2 blocks to the Church and beginning of town. Bus stop #8 was located at the Church, very convenient for tour pick-ups. Kjartan responded quickly to our emails and suggested a great restaurant stop for us along our Golden Circle trip. Would definitely book again if and when we return!

A lovely start to our vacation

Accommodating host; convenient, pretty location and thoughtful, charming decor. Comfortable beds and bedclothes, street and drive parking and WASHER AND DRYER! These are at a premium in Reykjavik. (They also work a bit differently from those in the US, especially the dryer, which, in this case, collects excess water and must be emptied rather than just venting damp air outside.) As of this writing, there are no dedicated self-serve laundromats in Reykjavik. There are four washers and dryers at the Laundromat Cafe downtown and some at the City Hostel. The only caveat is that, at the time of this writing, it seemed clear that the apartment below had a smoker in it, and we are non-smokers. The entry smelled like cigarettes, as did the laundry room. The odor did not seem to permeate either this apartment or our laundry, though, so it ended up not mattering much at all.

Perfect place for us!

We loved staying at this apartment during our week-long stay in Reykjavik. It's location, in a quiet neighborhood, is within walking distance of everything in town so we easily could get to all the restaurants, shops, museums and sites. There is an amazing bakery just a few blocks away as well as wonderful coffee shops. There is a grocery store nearby for the basics. The neighborhood is lovely and we had a view of the iconic Hallgrímskirkja church out the kitchen window. The apartment is well appointed, had all the kitchen things that we needed, and good wifi. There is a washing machine and dryer for clothes, which was really important for us. Kjartan was great to work with and very responsive. We rented a car for a couple of days and there was private parking at the apartment that we could use. I highly recommend this apartment and would stay there again.

Great location!

It was a pleasure having met Kjartan; he picked me up from the bus station because it was a bit rainy. The station is maybe an 8-minute walk. The apartment was so central to everything you can ask for: two blocks from the church and a market with great pastries, downtown was just a skip away and tour pick-up location less than two blocks away (if tour doesn't pick you up at the apt.). Nice having a responsive host. Thanks, KD!

Wonderful Apartment, Warm and Inviting Hospitality

Our family of 4 (2 adult kids) stayed at Sjafnargata 8 over the Christmas holidays. The apartment offers everything one could need: fully equipped kitchen, exceptionally comfortable master BR, large dining table, roomy bathroom and nice big windows from which we could enjoy the snowy wintry weather. The location is ideal - on a quiet street but near all of the city attractions. It was such a treat to walk through the Einar Jónsson Sculpture Garden on our way back to the apartment every day. We did not need a car at all. Our host Kjartan was so very accommodating. He responded quickly and thoroughly during our planning process. For a very reasonable fee, he picked us up from, and dropped us off at the airport. When there was a hitch with the microwave, he ran out and bought a new one - on Christmas eve (honestly, thank you for that Kjartan!) All in all, one of our favorite trips.

Excellent stay over New Year

My partner and tow friends stayed over new year for a few days. Reykavik is amazing for New Years eve with a spontaneous firework display by the big church which was only a couple of minutes walk from the flat. Check in to the flat was straightforward. The flat catered for all our needs and was well equipped throughout. It was clean, warm and cosy (especially give the cold outside). We would definitely stay here again when we visit Iceland. Thanks for a great stay
