We will be back!
My husband and I brought our boys ages 8 and 12 for their first trip to Iceland. We wanted a great “home base” with all amenities in case we wanted to eat dinner in and regroup after long days. This apartment was so wonderful! Great location, parking available and very attentive hostess. I’ve already sent this listing to many friends and we cannot wait to come back! Highly recommend!!

Great apartment, great location!
I had a wonderful stay at this apartment in Reykjavik with my daughter! The location is ideal—just a few minutes from downtown, but in a quiet and peaceful residential neighborhood. The apartment was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. Helga, the host, was fantastic with great communication throughout our stay. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for the perfect mix of convenience and tranquility in Reykjavik!

Great Place to Stay
We enjoyed our stay here very much. The place is beautiful and in a great location. Helga is the best! She was very communicative and helpful answering any questions we had. She added a bed to the place for us that was very nice and got us a reservation at a great restaurant we were unable to get into. One of my favorite VRBOs I have stayed with.

Great place to stay
Apartment worked out really well for us. Was exceptionally clean and had everything we needed. Washing machine was great to have. Off-street parking and relatively close to downtown and easy to drive out of town to all the great sight-seeing in Iceland. Helga was helpful with suggestions and easy to reach if needed.

Perfect base for Reykjavik +200 km radius around
As said above, we spent 6 days in Reykjavik, enjoying the city plus visiting all attractions in 200 km radius. It was a perfect place to do this plan. Apartment was very clean, communication was super easy, check-in and out was super easy. We are very pleased with overall experience. For sure a place to stay.

Iceland stay
A very nice and clean property in a quiet and nice neighborhood. Host was available by email easily. Easy and quick to get to Reykjavik, a few stores within walking distance. Approximately 40 from Keflavik airport. Within an hour or two of many natural sites. 2 thumbs up!

Iceland visit
Never having been to Iceland we did get a nice overview on our bus trip to Glacier Lagoon although 15 hours was a bit much. Helga was very helpful in many ways and responded quickly to any questions we had . Her apartment was better than advertised and it was very convenient to downtown Reykjavík.

Great spot to stay if visiting Reykavik
Great little apartment with its own parking space that was close to a grocery store, downtown Reykavik and just about anywhere we wanted to go. Had a nice kitchen and even a laundry room. Perfect for our four-day stay.

Great Home Base!
This apartment had everything we needed to make our trip wonderful. Convenient location, close to downtown, supermarkets, highway access and easy parking right in front of the door. We used the fully equipped kitchen every day and the washer and dryer frequently. Beds were very comfortable and we had plenty of space to spread out in the living/dining room. I would stay here again if we return to Iceland. Helga was easy to work with and quick to respond. Thanks for sharing this home with us!

Helga’s apartment is beautifully appointed with her art work (paintings). Conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood, it is about a three mile walk into the heart of downtown. The apartment had everything we needed for a memorable family vacation.

Great short-visit option
We enjoyed the property and the host, who was wonderfully communicative and helpful with advice on places to eat, shop, visit, park, and play. Great location for anyone visiting with a rental car, and some bonus items: 2 bedrooms for visitors is great Laundry to clean wet or dirty clothing is very helpful Off-street parking was nice Really wonderful, tasty food and an incredibly clean country compared to many places in America. Shockingly beautiful geography, and I can’t wait to come back!

Our stay for a week at this property was awesome! It's located in a quiet part of town that is conveniently located to all kinds of things in Reykjavik, 9 minutes to downtown, 40 minutes to the airport. Helga was welcoming and quick to communicate with us. The beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed to make her apartment our home for the week. HIGHLY recommend staying with her!

Perfect Reykavik apartment for our family of 4!
We stayed in Helga’s wonderful apartment just a short drive from central Reykavik. It was a home away from home for us. It was close to everything we needed and a great base to venture further afield. Thank you, Helga. You were such a wonderful host, and we really enjoyed the opportunity to get you know you better in Grindavik.

This is a wonderful apt in a quiet neighborhood. It is comfortable, clean and well furnished. There is a nice view from the lanai. It is not in the city center but a is a quick walk to buses that will take you there. We highly recommend it!
