About this property

Exceptional Luxury Apartment In 101 Reykjavik, The Centre Of Town

The second floor apartment sleeps 4 people in two double bedrooms. Just under 100m2, it has a fully equipped open kitchen and dining room and a light and airy living room with a partial view of Hallgrimskirkja and a beautiful bathroom in Art Deco style. Full oak floors / black slate flooring throughout. Decorated and refurbished with only the very best. We tried to think of everything: flat screen, home cinema, Wifi, washing machine/dryer, dish washer, iron, fully equipped kitchen, mini library with English (and some German) language books, board games - and even some Icelandic/Scandinavian art pieces and original art!

Further details indoors:
Children are of course more than welcome!
There's a high chair, a cot (with bedding) and 2 booster seats for the car also available in the apartment.
Towels and bedding for both bedrooms are all provided, and of course included in the price.

Further details outdoors:
Not far from the sea, extremely close to all amenities (geothermal pool, shopping, supermarket, artisanal bakeries, central restaurants and coffee bars and all museums and exhibitions) with easy (metered) parking on street and close by.

Location description from owner : The Capital Region, Down Town

Reykjavik 101, the absolute heart of Iceland...

Reykjavik is the capital of Iceland. A small cosmopolitan city which has most of the things a traveler would need and want. Trendy shopping, fashionable cafes, great restaurants as well as theatres, museums and music houses.

The apartment has the perfect location, with most things just around the corner!

We are also very close to several tour bus pick up/drop off points, all just 2 to max 5 minutes walk away.

1 - 5 Minutes Walk from the apartment

Stroll down Laugavegur, the main shopping street with its many exclusive Icelandic design stores, restaurants, cafes, 24 hour supermarket... Plus one of Iceland's ubiquitous Bonus supermarkets, and Sandholt, arguably the best bakery in Reykjavik. Then cool off again at Sundhollin, the oldest geothermal swimming pool in Reykjavik with its original 1930's features and hot tubs on the balcony, recently completely renovated and expanded, where you can swim or just relax in the warm water pools, steam room and jacuzzis, whatever the time of day. Enjoy a delicious cappuccino and slice of carrot cake in one of the cosy coffee bars close by, and if you feel like staying in and ordering a pizza, we have the absolute best pizzeria in Reykjavik just a little way up the road!

5 - 10 Minutes Walk from the apartment

Visit Hallgrimskirkja, Iceland's very own Empire State Building, a beautiful church that's illuminated with colours at night... Or go down to the sea, stand at the coastline and just enjoy... And check out Solfar, Jon Gunnar Arnason's beautiful sculpture of a viking ship, situated at the water. Visit the antiques and fleamarket at Kolaportid.

10 - 15 Minutes Walk from the apartment

Feed the ducks at Tjornin, the big City Pond. Afterwards, pop into the City Hall and have a look at the enormous 3D Reykjavik map. Have a drink on Austurvollur, the main public square surrounded by the Parliament and Domkirkjan, the oldest church in town. Don't forget to visit Harpa, Reykjavik's hyper modern Concert Hall. Stroll over to the harbour and join a whale watching expedition, then visit the Whale museum, or even Fly Over Iceland, and finish off the day with a delicious meal at one of the many fabulous restaurants Reykjavik has to offer.

Superb centrally located apartment

The apartment was perfect for a family of 4. Sue was incredibly responsive to all our emails and information about Iceland activities too! The Sunholin swimming pool was 2 mins walk and a superb pool for the family. We couldn’t have found a more ideally located apartment to all the cafes and restaurants and Reykjavík an ideal location for golden circle, whale watching, Nothern lights etc.

Fabulous location, apartment was warm, comfortable and well equipped. Exactly as per the description. Host was very accommodating to arrival and check out time and quickly replaceda broken kettle. . Only two concerns we had: staris to apartment were pretty steep with heavy cases and the entrance and stairs to apartment didn’t reflect the high standards ofthe apartment itself. Would definitely stay there again. Two

Amazing New Year

Beautiful warm apartment. Welcoming and cosy. Wished we had longer in Iceland. Definitely check out Sundhollin pool. Perlan is also worth a visit. South Coast tour was a long day but definitely worth it. Already planning to return in the Summer months sometime. Fireworks were insane!!

Fantastic apartment in great location

Just arrived home from a short stay in Reykjavik. The apartment was great, spacious, clean everything you need is there plus some thoughtful extras. Just a short walk to all the sights in city and we arranged a lot of tours from a local pick up point. Contact with Sue was quick and easy, and she provided a helpful booklet with everything you need to know in advance so you can start planning your trip, would definitely recommend.

Brilliant

Spent Christmas in Reykjavik, staying in this apartment. Ideally located for a car free city break, it easily accommodated two adults and two teenagers. Spacious, but cosy, despite the snow and wind outside, it is well appointed and had everything we needed for our stay. Great communication from the owners, made the whole booking really straightforward. We would definitely consider booking again the next time we visit Reykjavik as it is a superb location, five minute walk to the main shopping street Laugarvegur, , the Sundhollin pool is on the next block and in the shadow of Hallgrimskirkja. It's also only a short walk from the BSI Bus Terminal so ideal for the Flybus connection to Keflavik airport.

Homely, comfortable, convenient and good price

Two adults and two young teenagers spent a week in this apartment and would readily recommend it. It's very tastefully decorated, well equipped, conveniently located and instantly homely. We were sorry to leave and would definitely look to book again on another Reykjavik visit. The building itself is - like many others - simple from the outside but inside is a well thought out, clean and comfortable home which has obviously had much time, effort and expense invested. Owners Sue and Dieter were always instantly on hand via email to offer advice and solve any minor queries. There is a lot of information to help guide you both around the apartment's equipment and attractions in the city and further afield. We found a car essential as we were driving out most days (free parking outside) but for those on a short break and staying local, you can walk everywhere (after a bus from the airport). Check out the old swimming pool a minute's walk up the road! We are now big fans of Iceland thanks, in part, to this apartment.

Perfect apartment in a perfect location

The location of the apartment is ideal as it is in the centre of town within walking distance to the shops, restaurants, bars, indoor swimming pool, concert hall, and BSI bus terminal. The apartment is very clean, spacious and cozy even though the building on the outside is not new /modern. We got to meet the neighbours in the building who were ready for a chat and made us feel welcome. A good collection of books, dvds and board games in the apartment kept my family engaged whenever we were indoors. Tried the Nepalese restaurant and the cuisine was excellent, but would not recommend the Thai place above Bonus supermarket. The crepe shop on Skolavordustigur is amazing. We also walked to Perlan and the geothermal beach from the apartment by which could see the other part of the city. We had the great opportunity to watch the Euro cup qualifier match between the Netherlands and Iceland on big screen in the town's square with the Icelanders. All the suggestions given by the landlady were very useful. There was a small issue with the shower which was attended to by the manager within minutes. Our stay in this apartment made our family holiday a memorable one and would recommend this apartment to anyone.

Great Place to Stay in Reykjavik

Sue's apartment was wonderful. Exactly as pictured on the listing it had two comfortable bedrooms, one bath and an eat-in kitchen and living room. The apartment was clean, comfortable, light and super cute. It had every amenity you could want. Beds were comfortable and the apartment was quiet at night. Heat worked great. You do have to climb 2 flights of stairs to get there. We loved the location just at the east end of the busy restaurant/shopping area. Nothing was more than a 15 minute walk. The neighborhood and apartment felt very safe. Most importantly, Sue was a dream host. She was a great communicator, proactively sending tons of information about the apartment, the surrounding area and restaurants and responding promptly to any messages. Check in and check out were super easy with a coded key box. I would highly recommend staying at this apartment.

Excellent location downtown

Sue was very responsive to any questions I had. Her unit was very well stocked and clean. The location couldn’t have really been any better. Even though downtown it was not noisy at night even with the windows slightly open. There were plenty of books to read and games and movies for the kids. I would definitely recommend.
