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).

You can reach us 24/7 through phone or email.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
