The Thingholt area of the downtown 101 postcode is the most secluded and exclusive, yet central part of Reykjavik. Purely a residential area, it is only minutes from virtually everything. Overnight on-street parking is free, with free 24-hour parking 500m/yds away from the apartment.

Water in Iceland
Kindly note the water in Iceland has this particular smell because of the sulphur in it. It is in fact one of the cleanest and most delicious drinking water in the world. Unlike in many neighbouring countries, the Icelandic water is free of chlorine, calcium, and nitrate. We can assure you that the quality of tap water everywhere in Iceland is regularly monitored and tested.

We recommend purchasing travel insurance for your trip to Iceland, which covers issues as delayed baggage, travel accidents, weather trip cancellations and emergency overseas medical. EU members can use their European Health Insurance Card in Iceland (medical expenses).

Cozy in Reykjavik
This was a lovely cozy home in a great location! Close to the center and the bus terminal, supermarket just around the corner, and relatively quiet. The wifi was a bit slow/didn't always reach the far end of the flat but it just encouraged us to hang out together more!

Cosy flat in a great location
This flat was cosy and comfortable and in a great location. It was a short walk to Laugavegur and there was a supermarket a couple of minutes walk away. Easy parking on the street outside the flat or on the surrounding streets for lower rates. Responsive host who provided lots of helpful information.

Credit Card Process
Stay was great. 2 days prior we got a message looking for a copy of the credit card we used to book the stay. We did that many months in advance. We didn't have that card on us during our trip. Found that stressful considering they had a good card on file and we'd already paid. I was looking for last minute lodging thinking they were going to reject us.

Convenient to everything
The cheerful, comfortable apartment was a great home base. We could walk everywhere, from Harpa to the Bus Station to Saga Museum and Laugavegur St we toured the beautiful city as we went along. The Kronan is right around the corner, where we got our food supplies

Great apartment at the heart of Reykjavik
Very nice comfortable accommodation in a quiet side street of downtown Reykjavik. Check-in and communications were very smooth. The only compromise was no on-site parking, but there is free on street parking about 5 minutes walk away.

Great location
We stayed for one night in September. The property looked just like the pictures and was very clean. A supermarket was 2 minutes away and many restaurants were within a 5 minute walk but the street itself was very quiet. Communication with the host was very quick and easy.

Mixed Reviews
The location in town is terrific. Close to Pond, shopping, grocery stores. Unit was clean and adequate - we had three adults, each had our own bed. The bookcases were stocked full of wonderful reading materials. Very homey. And we got an immediate response when we needed towels. A couple of not-so-great features: the house next door was under construction, so lots of noise during the day; the master bedroom is literally right on the sidewalk and street (as all the houses are); it's not a main street but there was road traffic and people walking by and talking loudly at all hours - at night it was disruptive and I didn't sleep; don't count on cooking much because the kitchen was barely adequate - only one pan, no large bowls, no food storage containers. Overall, I would have liked to know these features/bugs beforehand when I was deciding where to stay. Finally, although I got responses from the 'host', it wasn't clear who the host was. It seems to be a company so different people contacted me at various times.

We did a 6 day hike on Lagavegur Trail so were looking for a before and after spot to stay. This was perfect! Walkable to all the great museums and Harpa, plus the Kronan grocery store around the corner. The laundry machine was appreciated!

Great apartment, close to restaurants and shopping. Very clean. Only complaint is that it can get noisy with people walking by at night. It was fine for us but might bother some people. The neighbor is super cute and the apartment was perfect for our family if 4.

Excellent Location/Excellent Flat
This flat is terrific! The location is excellent - close to everything and easy parking. The instructions on how to use everything in the flat were very helpful. The management company were very responsive to the additional requests we had (more pillows, etc). The space worked great for our family of 4. The flat is comfortable and was totally sufficient for our needs. The wifi in the flat is pretty weak, but it does work and it generally worked for us. There is nice outdoor space and It would have been wonderful to have furniture outside. Overall it was a great place and we would definitely rent there again.

Great Place in a Great Location
A very charming apartment. Location was less than 5 minutes walk from the main bars, shops and restaurants of Reykjavik but away from the noise. Easy street parking, requires payment during the day but inexpensive and easy to do via web.

Great place
Great place, clean and warm. Very close to everything. Parking was a little hard to find, but this is no fault of the owner or management. We found it a little unusual that the apartment had no TV, but then again, we didn't come all the way to Island to watch TV, just something that struck as as unusual. The host was very responsive: responded to every email I sent within minutes. We would recommend this place to small families like ours. Everyone was super happy with it. Thank you!
