Great location with mountain views. Very quiet residential area and the apartment had everything we needed for our stay. We were able to see the northern lights from the front door!
Leanne, Australia (Booking.com)
The heated bathroom floor was a nice surprise… One night we were able to see the northern lights from the bedroom and the walk to the viewing spot was pleasant. We also walked into town most days but there was a bus stop down the road. The lovely view of the sea and mountains from the bedroom window was a nice surprise to wake up to in the morning.

Great location for access to city and lighthouse for aurora watching. Owner has thought of everything you might need in the house. Stayed in winter and house was warm.

Plenty of room for two people. Very comfortable and clean. The kitchen was excellent and the washer and dryer worked great. Parking was very easy. Lovely views of the ocean and of the city.
Timothy, United States (Booking.com)
If you’ve rented a car, this is a great location. You’re not in the city exactly but two seconds away and it’s a beautiful walk or bike along the coast… There’s a lovely view from the bedroom out to the ocean, all of the appliances are perfect.
Ackerly, United States (Booking.com)
The property was clean, well furnished, and crucially very warm which was needed after long days in the snow!

“The owner is really nice and kind person. His house is clean and really convenient, which is close to the ocean. He also reserved a taxi, and told me a lot of sightseeing information. It was so helpful. I highly recommend his apartment when you come to Iceland!!!”
Kae, Japan
This place is beautiful and has the most incredible views of the ocean and the mountains. It is located in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood, but still quite close to the city center. Upon arrival, we found a packet with all of the information we needed for the apartment, and with listings of grocery stores etc. which was very helpful. The apartment was very clean, bright, spacious and private. We will definitely recommend it to our friends! Lastly, the heated floors in the bathroom are unbeatable!
Alisha, USA
This modern apartment is light, airy and spacious with the most beautiful views of Reykjavik, the sea and mountains. It was spotlessly clean with all modern appliances and decor. We thoroughly recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Reykjavik. You really won’t be disappointed!”
Lesley, United Kingdom
Great location and view and best place of a seven day trip thru Iceland. Very clean and spacious. It would be great for any length of stay as it is fully loaded.
Lee, USA
This apartment is beautiful! It was giant, spotless and had everything a person could ever need or want. The directions are clear, it’s easy to find and access and with really magnificent views. I’d be remiss to not mention the heated floors! Those alone almost made me just lock myself in and live there forever! Perfect home with a host who goes above and beyond!

“Wow!” was the first word out of our mouths as we arrived in this beautifully modern apartment, but when we saw the stunning view from the bedroom, we were speechless. The living room area provides you with a comfy couch with a large screen Apple TV – ideal for winding down after touring the beautiful city of Reykjavik. We HIGHLY recommend this location!”

Our visit was great, and we found everything we needed in the apartment. Took a nice walk one evening to watch the sunset over the water from the beach. Close to town via car or bus. Comfortable bed, nice TV (watched a free Netflix film one night). I would recommend this place to anyone interested in a nice modern apartment.
