Great Base in Reykjavik

The positive reviews are true, this is a great condo in a great location. Clean, spacious, and convenient to restaurants and shopping. If you never left the city you'd have access to everything you need. If you rent a car and explore this is a great place to come home to each night. Parking is tight but not terrible, and we only ever needed to park a few blocks away at most. We loved the hot springs feel of the geothermal water in the shower, and the patio is great, both for the views and for safely trying hakarl!

Great stay

This was a great place for our first trip out of the US. The location was incredibly convenient, all our needed bus stops and restaurants and museums were never anymore than a 15 minute walk max. The place itself had a great view, great kitchen area and comfortable beds. The check in was easy, I always got a quick response to any message. The washer was great for washing light clothes and thermals. Also we had a little cat friend outside to greet us most days, he wasn’t apart of the vrbo but we loved seeing him. Recommend this place!

Quiet stay, excellent view!

Property is well maintained, clean, comfortable, and quiet. It is centrally located off the harbour/main road and is close to 2 city/tour bus stops.Plenty of restaurant options a stones throw away, or choose by looking off the balcony.If you are staying here you may need no vehicle due to proximity to local transportation system. I kind of forgot I didn't actually live there, the stay was that comfortable.

Great Location

The property was exactly as listed with the exception that one of the suggested large free parking areas was blocked off with concrete. We were still able to find free parking close by. We got 1 parking ticket for miss reading a sign so be caeful, they don't play. That said the location is exceptional. Close to many attractions, a great jumping off point the golden circle and walking distance to countless restaurants. Coming again in the summer!
