About this property

A wonderful flat with seaview in center of town

The flat is on the 4th floor of an apparmment builing right in center of town. Is spacious, and beautifully furnished, equipped with all amenities, but relatively small (100 square meters). The livingroom, the master beadroom, and the office have a fantastic view to the sea and mount Esja. The livingroom has two seating areas, and a built over balcony with a small dinig tabel. The livingroom also features a small grand piano The master bedroom has a king size bed and a TV flat screen. The office is small, but there we have a convertabel sleepingsofa. The bathroom has a shower, and there is a washingroom on the floor ( private washing machine and dryer but the room is a common space for all four apartments on the floor). There is also a shared balcony (the same four flats) in the corridor of the floor, facing south-east. There is a private parking place in the basement garage. Just outside the house there is a buststop for excursions trips to tourist sites.

A wonderful stay in the heart of Reykjavik!
This beautiful apartment is right on the harbour and only a few minutes walk from the Harpa conference centre. the apartment is beautifully appointed and obviously loved. We were honoured to have the opportunity to stay in this wonderful family home surrounded by their momentos of travel and family. If we are ever in Reykjavik in future we will definitely stay at TInna's home.

Lovely apartment in a great location. Great views of the sea. 5-10 minute walk to anything you want to do in the center city and the Old Harbor. Right across the street from a tour and airport bus stop. Spacious with walk-in shower and well equipped kitchen.

Great Location! Great Bed Comfort! Great Parking!
This was our first time in Iceland and we stayed for 8 days in this wonderful apartment. We enjoyed the kitchen as well. It's just a perfect location for Reykjavik. We always have issues with the mattress wherever we stay, but this mattress was great. Very comfortable for us. Enjoy.

Wonderful Property Centrally Located
The flat was centrally located within walk distance of all the downtown attractions, and right across the street from the Sun Voyager. It was comfortable and cozy. We had a couple of issues; one being that the lights in the living room did not work and the other was that there was fresh food left from the previous tenant. Both were resolved very quickly and Tinna was very communicative. I would definitely stay here again.

Lovely apartment, great view and location
The view of the harbor is wonderful, the location is great - easy walking distance to main Reykjavik tourist area and Harpa (we enjoyed several shows at Harpa). Apartment was clean and the bed very comfortable. Free garage parking for our rental car was very convenient. Highly recommend this property.

Iceland Trip
We enjoyed our stay at the apartment. Beautiful view, Tinna provided great information for check in, process for using garage if you have a car, suggested grocery store and restaurants. We did day trips each day from this central location. It was nice to have our things in one spot and to come back to a comfortable place to rest.

Great location
This was an amazing location. The ocean view was spectacular! It was very quiet, relaxing place to stay during the evening. We loved the fact that the property was within walking distance to all of the tourist sites and restaurants in Reykjavik. We appreciated all of the information that the host gave us about the property prior to our arrival as well: particularly being warned ahead of time that the parking stall that was included was very narrow, and chose our rental car accordingly- this stall will not accommodate any vehicle larger than a Toyota Yaris. We had a fantastic holiday thank you for letting us stay with you!

Would recommend
We had a great experience! This property is within walking distance of restaurants and shops, and very near the Harpa. There is also on floor laundry, and a garage that was made available to us so we didn't need to dig out our car when it snowed. Our host Tinna made sure we had all the information we needed for our stay, and I would definitely recommend this property! Thanks so much Tinna!

Amazing First Trip to Iceland
This charming apartment right on the ocean was the perfect place for our first trip to Iceland. It had all the amenities you could want—full kitchen, shower, comfy bed, onsite laundry and beautiful views. Despite the cold weather outside, the apartment stayed cozy at night, and it was very quiet. It is conveniently located next to several bus stops and an easy walk to the heart of Reykjavik + many great shops, restaurants and bars. The trash/recycling/compost system in Reykjavik was a bit confusing to us, so we recommend doing research beforehand to ensure you know how to sort waste during your stay. We highly recommend this apartment for anyone looking for a comfortable place to stay in Iceland!

Central location and good views
The apartment was as described and shown on the pictures; the owner was very quick to react to queries and very friendly and helpful. I was a bit surprised that the fridge and freezer had not beem emptied and that there was so much food stuff in the kitchen cupboards. As I am sensitive to noise I was not very happy about the busy street in front of the apartment building. For me personally the bed was too soft but that's a matter of preferences. Apart from that, everything was great.

My and my husband have been active within theatre and music all our lives, I am an actress and former artistic director of the National theatre in Reykjavik, and my husband is an composer, musician and actor. We are now more or less retired and have minimized our livestile. We like to travel and spend a lot of time on our wooden saling boat, which we harbor in Sweden, so our flat is free for longer periods. That is why we like to invite guests to stay while we are away :-)

Why they chose this property

It is nice, central and comfortable.
