Reykavik's main museums, galleries and harbour (in case you want to go whale watching) are all within 10-15 minutes walk.

Nice home in good location. Well decorated. Don’t rent unless you like living off the bedroom floors. And there isn’t much of that since the bedrooms are quite small. The off street parking space was handy.

Great owner and great location
Extremely helpful and responsive owner. Very good location close to the sites and Reykjavik sites as well as your pick up locations. As others have noted the water in Reykjavik often has a sulfurous smell; this is the case just about everywhere. Only things for improvement at the property would be replacement of stair carpet and updating of living room furniture.

Perfect Reykjavik Townhouse
Wonderful location just steps away from the noise and fun of downtown Reykjavik. Perfect for 4 people. Comfortable beds and seating in living space, though larger groups might need more space in the living room. This place is always fully booked, for good reason. Cleaning staff could do a better job on the shower area. Clearly a mildew problem that could be easily fixed. Otherwise five stars.

Some Issues Here
Would not stay here again. The problems are related mostly to the upstairs bedrooms and the linens. First, some positives: As the pictures show, the downstairs living area is nice looking. We did not cook other than to make coffee, so I can’t comment on ease of using the kitchen. There was a bag of ground coffee available. I appreciated that the owner agreed to a late checkout as our flight wasn’t departing until 17:00. The bedrooms are located upstairs. There are no bedside table lamps in the larger bedroom, but there are 2 metal bedside tables that are rusty. There is no closet in that bedroom or anyplace to stow your luggage. Bedding problems: king size bed in bedroom 1 had one twin size duvet with just one pillow. the duvet was covered in a scratchy seersucker fabric. The queen bed in the adjoining bedroom also had one narrow duvet and it had NO pillow. All of the pillows are thin and have seen better days. There were some extra linens thrown haphazardly on top of the 3rd bedroom bunk bed but no pillowcase on the extra pillow, and no duvet covers for the extra comforters (no top sheets as is common in Europe). The shower leaks so you’ll need to use the thin bath towels to mop up the lake when you get out. No body wash or soap (there is liquid hand soap for the sink, and there were a variety of shampoos that may have been left by previous guests. The upstairs smells strongly of mildew. The shower has mildew in the grout. The bathroom fan seems to
